About the role:
Sun King is looking for a self-driven Infrastructure Engineer, who is comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment and balancing the needs of multiple development teams and systems. You will work on improving our current IAC, observability stack, and incident response processes. The Infrastructure Engineer will work with the data science, analytics, and engineering teams to build optimized CI/CD pipelines, scalable AWS infrastructure, and Kubernetes deployments.
What you would be expected to do:
- Work with engineering, automation, and data teams to work on various infrastructure requirements.
- Designing modular and efficient GitOps CI/CD pipelines, agnostic to the underlying platform.
- Managing AWS services for multiple teams.
- Managing custom data store deployments like sharded MongoDB clusters, Elasticsearch clusters, and upcoming services.
- Deployment and management of Kubernetes resources.
- Deployment and management of custom metrics exporters, trace data, custom application metrics, and designing dashboards, querying metrics from multiple resources, as an end-to-end observability stack solution.
- Set up incident response services and design effective processes.
- Deployment and management of critical platform services like OPA and Keycloak for IAM.
- Advocate best practices for high availability and scalability when designing AWS infrastructure, observability dashboards, implementing IAC, deploying to Kubernetes, and designing GitOps CI/CD pipelines.
You might be a strong candidate if you have/are:
- Hands-on experience with Docker or any other container runtime environment and Linux with the ability to perform basic administrative tasks.
- Experience working with web servers (nginx, apache) and cloud providers (preferably AWS).
- Hands-on scripting and automation experience (Python, Bash), experience debugging and troubleshooting Linux environments and cloud-native deployments.
- Experience building CI/CD pipelines, with familiarity with monitoring & alerting systems (Grafana, Prometheus, and exporters).
- Knowledge of web architecture, distributed systems, and single points of failure.
- Familiarity with cloud-native deployments and concepts like high availability, scalability, and bottleneck.
- Good networking fundamentals — SSH, DNS, TCP/IP, HTTP, SSL, load balancing, reverse proxies, and firewalls.
What Sun King offers:
- Professional growth in a dynamic, rapidly expanding, high-social-impact industry.
- An open-minded, collaborative culture made up of enthusiastic colleagues who are driven by the challenge of innovation towards profound impact on people and the planet.
- A truly multicultural experience: You will have the chance to work with and learn from people from different geographies, nationalities, and backgrounds.
- Structured, tailored learning and development programs that help you become a better leader, manager, and professional through the Sun King Center for Leadership.
