Responsibilities:
You will own and evolve the infrastructure that powers Utila's platform, from cloud architecture and Infrastructure-as-Code to CI/CD, observability, and the security posture of our production systems.
- Design, implement, and maintain our cloud infrastructure on GCP and AWS, using Pulumi (IaC), with a focus on scalability, reliability, and security.
- Build and improve CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, enabling fast, safe, and auditable delivery for our backend services.
- Partner closely with the backend team on Go development tasks, from infrastructure-adjacent services and tooling to production-readiness improvements in core services.
- Operate and evolve our Kubernetes environments, networking, and secrets management, ensuring high availability and strong sensitive data isolation.
- Drive our monitoring, alerting, and incident response practices, and continuously raise the bar on observability across the stack.
- Embed security best practices into our infrastructure and delivery pipelines, IAM, network policies, secret handling, and compliance-aligned controls.
- Collaborate on architectural and technological decisions, participate in design and code reviews, and help shape engineering standards across the team.
Requirements:
Must-Have
- 5+ years of professional DevOps / Infrastructure experience, in high-scale cloud services or SaaS products.
- Excellent interpersonal and teamwork skills, with a strong commitment to collaboration and a team-player attitude.
- Deep experience with cloud platforms (GCP and/or AWS), including networking, IAM, and managed services at scale.
- Strong hands-on experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Pulumi, Terraform, or similar) in production environments.
- Production experience with Kubernetes and modern container-based delivery.
- Solid experience designing and operating CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, or equivalent).
- Strong scripting and/or development skills, with the ability to read, write, and review production code.
- Experience operating PostgreSQL or other managed databases in production.
Nice To Have
- Software development background with production experience in Go (or a strong willingness and track record of contributing code to backend services).
- Strong security background, cloud security, identity, secrets management, threat modeling, or experience in a security-engineering / DevSecOps role.
- Experience with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, or similar).
- Familiarity with applied cryptography, blockchain technology, or other security-sensitive financial systems.
- Experience working in regulated / compliance-heavy environments (SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc.).
