The job
The Velocity team exists to eliminate friction. We treat our internal developers as our customers. You will:
Abstract Complexity: Build intuitive tooling that enables self-service allowing devs to focus on product logic.
Standardize Excellence: Bake best-practices, security, observability, and scalability into the core stack so they aren't afterthoughts.
What You Will Do
Developer Experience: Build self-service tools that give product teams autonomy without sacrificing system stability.
Platform Engineering: Architect and evolve our core stack (AWS, EKS, Terraform).
Systems Resilience: Lead reliability initiatives, including business continuity planning and a sustainable on-call rotation.
High-Scale Privacy: Support the infrastructure for industry-leading privacy features, such as our TIME-recognized "Anonymous Mode."
Observability: Implement best-in-class monitoring (metrics, logs, tracing) to ensure issues are identified and mitigated before they impact the user.
What You Bring
Experience: 15+ years in AWS Infrastructure, DevEx, SRE, or DevOps roles supporting high-traffic, distributed environments.
Cloud Native Mastery: Deep expertise in AWS and Kubernetes (K8s) is essential.
Automation Mindset: Proficient in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), a coding background with experience with Python, Scala or Go would be beneficial.
Technical Breadth: You will feel comfortable at all levels of the stack, from developing front ends using React through to engineering Terraform modules to deliver infrastructure abstractions.
Communication: A "doc-first" mentality and the ability to collaborate across distributed product teams.
AI First: You will have experience of the impact which AI automation is having on development teams and the software delivery lifecycle and have strong ideas on how to support them through it
Bonus Points
Background in hardening infrastructure for high-compliance or security-sensitive environments.
Experience scaling consumer tech platforms with millions of concurrent users.
Professional Accreditation such as AWS Professional Architect, CKAD or KCSA.
