What you'll own

The deployment pipeline end to end: CI/CD from commit to production, including staging build gating, automated rollback, and zero-manual-step deploys
Environment parity across dev, staging, and production: DB initialization, auth configs, integration consistency, and review apps that actually reflect reality
Incident reduction infrastructure: app-level health checks, migration safeguards, automated alerting on deploy failures, and deployment guardrails that prevent the class of outages we've had
Observability that produces signal, not noise: fixing false-positive exceptions, making request time metrics useful, and cleaning up tech debt in service naming
Agentic coding integration: evaluating and deploying AI-assisted developer tooling (automated bug trackers, code review automation, environment provisioning) to accelerate engineering productivity
ECS operations and infrastructure management: running tasks, container orchestration, RDS, and new environment setup

5+ years building and improving CI/CD pipelines across dev, staging, and production environments. You've designed these systems, not just consumed them. - Production AWS experience with ECS, RDS, and related services. You can debug infrastructure issues live, not just provision from templates. - A mix of startup and larger-scale experience. You know what "good enough for now" looks like at a 50-person company and what breaks when you don't invest at 200. - A track record of eliminating deployment toil. You've automated away manual steps, built guardrails, or redesigned workflows that measurably improved reliability. - Opinions about developer productivity backed by action. You've shipped tooling or process improvements because you saw the need, not because it was on your sprint board. - Solid fundamentals in database operations and security practices in production environments. - Hands-on use of agentic coding tools in real workflows, with a clear view of both the upside and the limitations
