Responsibilities
- Manage and evolve our AWS environment using Terraform, keeping EKS clusters, databases, and core services current and performant
- Own the speed and reliability of our CI systems for the full Engineering org — every deploy starts here
- Be the person engineers turn to when environments break; unblock them fast across local, staging, and production
- Establish and socialize best practices so the right people get paged for the right reasons
- Lead or support incident response, drive post-incident reviews, and close the loop so the same thing doesn't happen twice
- Contribute to architectural decisions that shape how Babylist's infrastructure evolves over the next several years
Skills
- Deep hands-on Terraform expertise — you own IaC, not just contribute to it
- Proven AWS experience at scale — EKS, RDS, cloud networking, DNS, CDNs, load balancers — you know the gotchas
- Experienced operating Kubernetes in production — you've debugged the hard stuff, not just deployed the easy stuff
- Comfortable designing and improving CI/CD systems — CircleCI, GitHub Actions, or similar; you care about developer velocity, not just pipeline uptime
- Strong observability instincts — Datadog, Sentry, PagerDuty, Cronitor — you build alerting that's actionable, not noisy
- Experienced with on-call and incident management — you've run the post-mortems and actually changed things afterward
- Comfortable supporting developers across local, staging, and production — you're a resource, not a gatekeeper
- You naturally reach for AI in your work — at Babylist, every team uses AI daily. You're already using it to move faster and improve your output, and you stay curious about what's coming next
