• Maintain CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure changes across all deployment targets.

Required profile

• 3+ years in a DevOps, platform, or infrastructure role with a strong database focus.
• Production‑level experience with PostgreSQL (query plans, vacuuming, partitioning, replication).
• Hands‑on AWS experience with RDS, Aurora, and at least one of ECS or EKS.
• Proficiency in infrastructure‑as‑code; TypeScript CDK preferred, Terraform or Pulumi acceptable.
• Strong Bash scripting skills.
• Familiarity with agentic AI workflows and AI‑assisted tooling.
