Our engineering organization of 150+ engineers is organized into specialized domains. Within the Platform domain, dedicated teams collaborate to provide the foundation that product teams build on:
AWS Infrastructure — Multi-account architecture, networking, IaC, and platform capabilities on AWS
Governance & Security — IAM, compliance, policy enforcement, and security baselines
Engineering Efficiency — CI/CD, golden paths, developer tooling, and observability patterns
FinOps — Cost visibility, optimization, and cloud financial management
The AWS Infrastructure team manages a large-scale, multi-account AWS environment supporting multiple product lines across several AWS Organizations. We're in the middle of a significant consolidation effort — unifying governance, standardizing IaC and networking, establishing security baselines, and building self-service capabilities that enable product teams to ship with confidence.
This is complex, high-impact work: migrating accounts between organizations, designing enterprise networking, increasing IaC coverage across diverse maturity levels, and building the platform that dozens of engineers rely on daily.
Our Techstack:
AWS: EC2, ECS, EKS, Fargate, RDS, Aurora, S3, Lambda, VPC, Transit Gateway, Route 53, IAM, Organizations, Security Hub, GuardDuty, Config, CloudWatch
IaC & Automation: Terraform/Terragrunt, GitHub Actions, OIDC
Observability: NewRelic, Datadog, CloudWatch
Networking: VPC, Transit Gateway, VPC Peering, VPN, Route 53
Join the AWS Infrastructure team as a Senior Engineer, leading technical initiatives across our multi-account AWS environment. You'll drive architectural decisions, mentor engineers, and build the platform capabilities that product teams depend on.
This role combines deep technical AWS expertise with platform leadership — you'll set technical direction, establish standards, and elevate the team's capabilities.
Your responsibilities will include:
Technical Leadership & Architecture
Define the Blueprint: Architect and govern multi-account AWS environments, ensuring scalable networking and platform standards.
Set the Standard: Lead the adoption of advanced IaC patterns (Terraform/Terragrunt), testing frameworks, and golden paths.
Own the Big Decisions: Evaluate trade-offs (e.g., EKS vs. ECS vs. Serverless) and execute high-stakes migrations or topology changes.
Platform Engineering & Enablement
Productize Infrastructure: Build self-service capabilities that allow product teams to deploy faster without friction.
Connect & Scale: Design enterprise-grade networking (Transit Gateway, hybrid connectivity) and CI/CD ecosystems.
Guardrails, Not Gates: Balance organizational standardization with developer autonomy through smart automation.
Force Multiplier: Mentor engineers, lead high-quality code reviews, and foster a culture of platform thinking.
Operational Health: Define SLIs/SLOs and lead incident response for complex, high-impact issues.
Continuous Evolution: Drive measurable improvements in reliability, performance, and cloud cost-efficiency.
