About the Team

In this high-impact role, you won't just keep the lights on; you will build the next generation of infrastructure from scratch to support both Taskrabbit and Dolly.
We are moving fast to decommission legacy tooling (i.e Jenkins) in favor of a modern, cloud-native stack (Kubernetes, ArgoCD, Crossplane). You will be a hands-on owner—taking vague requirements and turning them into resilient, scalable solutions while advocating for your technical designs to the wider engineering organization.
As a core member of a lean, collaborative team, you will also play a critical role in stabilizing our environment. You will participate in the on-call rotation, drive incident response, and implement the fixes necessary to ensure our services remain highly available (99.9%) for our users worldwide.
What You’ll Work On:
- Build and maintain new modern infrastructure such as Kubernetes, new CI/CD tools and assisting with application teams on adapting.

- Monitor and resolve issues in all environments using tools such as DataDog, PagerDuty, and AWS logs.
- Engage in capacity planning and demand forecasting, anticipating performance bottlenecks, and scaling the environment as needed using DataDog and other tools.
- Design and implement a zero-downtime solution to accomplish a highly available service (99.9%).
- Ensure systems are secure against cyber threats and implement fixes for Security vulnerabilities.
- Automate tasks and develop tools to increase engineering efficiency and visibility.
- Design and implement disaster recovery (DR) between different regions in cloud providers such as AWS.
- Manage web domain and certificates.
- Troubleshoot production and testing environment issues, including performance and function issues.
- Provide support to the organization through on-call, resolving issues and driving infrastructure changes.
- Identify, define, and document system requirements and recommend solutions to management.
- Perform on-call duties and be part of the on-call rotations (weekends/evenings; as needed).
Your Areas of Expertise:
- At least 5+ years of experience in the Infrastructure and DevOps Space.
- Experience with build automation and configuration management tools (e.g. Ansible, Puppet, Chef.)
- Strong knowledge of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) ecosystem and other core AWS technologies, ElasticSearch Service, RDS, WAF, CloudFront, Kubernetes etc.
- You have worked with common infrastructure tools like Docker, Terraform, Helm, GitHub Actions, and ArgoCD.
- Experience with a microservice architecture running in containers (Docker or other containerisation technology).
- Experience supporting 24x7, high-availability internet application environments that include web, application, and database servers and load balancing systems.
- Experience working with a product that has end-users.
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
- AWS Certification is a plus.
