About Breezy HR Breezy HR is a remote-first, hiring platform built for small and mid-sized businesses. Thousands of teams trust us to streamline recruiting from first touch to signed offer, and we’re passionate about delivering a fast, delightful experience for every candidate and every hiring manager.
Why we’re hiring We need a senior hands‑on owner to stabilize, secure, and evolve our cloud platform. You’ll be a primary decision‑maker for AWS architecture, reliability, CI/CD, observability, and cost posture, partnering closely with the directors, developers, product, and customer success teams.
What you’ll own (hands‑on + strategic)
AWS architecture & operations:
Own production infrastructure end‑to‑end (networking, compute, storage,, routing, scaling, backups, DR).
IaC & environments:
Standardize and evolve Infrastructure‑as‑Code (Terraform or AWS CDK); codify dev/stage/prod with repeatable patterns and least‑privilege IAM.
CI/CD:
Keep deployments fast and safe (build, test, deploy, rollback); drive progressive delivery where it makes sense.
Observability & incident response:
Ensure logs/metrics/traces + actionable dashboards; lead incident command and postmortems.
Security & compliance:
Own cloud security baselines and support SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / GDPR needs.
Cost & performance:
Right‑size infra, track spend, and implement guardrails to prevent regressions.
Technical leadership:
Document the platform, unblock developers, mentor peers, and cultivate cross‑training so nothing is a single point of failure.
On‑call:
Alternate with others on the infra on‑call rotation and train others as needed.

fundamentals (least‑privilege IAM, network segmentation, secrets, TLS) and familiarity with SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / GDPR expectations.
