You’ll be part of a globally distributed team, collaborating closely with engineers in North America and Europe, driving technical excellence across Clio’s production environments.

Who you are:

You’re an experienced platform engineer who thrives on building infrastructure that just works - scalable, secure, and self-healing. When you're solving problems, you're just as comfortable writing code as you are digging into cloud architecture. You communicate clearly, enjoy mentoring others, and bring both curiosity and calm to complex challenges.

• Collaborate on cloud optimization projects, improving performance, cost efficiency, and security posture.

• Mentor and guide team members, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.

• Partner with Security, MLOps, and Product Engineering teams to deliver scalable, resilient, and compliant systems.

• Define agentic patterns to inflect the way we build, deploy, and observe cloud infrastructure.

What you may have:

• Experience designing, deploying, and operating AWS infrastructure and managed services (like RDS, EKS, Lambda) at scale.

• Expertise with Terraform and infrastructure automation.

• Strong coding foundation, beyond scripting, with experience in application development or designing and building robust automation frameworks and tooling

• Experience in container orchestration and cluster management.

• Experience with CI/CD systems such as Buildkite, GitHub Actions, etc. 

• Experience with relational or non-relational datastores in a production environment.

• Familiarity with observability platforms (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, etc.).

• Familiarity with Linux systems administration, networking, and troubleshooting.

• Excellent communication and documentation abilities, with a focus on knowledge sharing and team collaboration.

• Growth mindset when it comes to process improvement and new technologies, especially AI.

Serious bonus points if you have:

• Experience with Kubernetes (EKS) on AWS in production environments.

• Expertise with best practices for managing and securing cloud environments at scale.

• Prior experience leveraging AI to accelerate yourself and your team through generating code and debugging infrastructure issues.

• Prior experience in platform engineering or developer productivity teams.

• Prior experience working with software teams building and shipping applications to the cloud.

• Hands-on experience managing and scaling distributed data stores (e.g., MySQL/Aurora) at scale, including troubleshooting database bottlenecks and implementing robust backup and disaster recovery strategies.
