Breezy HR : Senior Cloud Platform Engineer (AWS)
Breakout Tools, Jacksonville, Florida, United States, 32290
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, IAM, 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.
Our stack
Data: MongoDB (self‑hosted) and Redis
Hosting/Orchestration: AWS
IaC: Terraform and/or AWS CDK
Tooling: Git‑based CI/CD; common observability suites
What you’ve done
7+ years building and running production systems on AWS (VPC, EC2, ELB/ALB, S3, CloudFront, Route53, RDS/ElastiCache, IAM, CloudWatch, SNS/SQS, etc.).
5+ years Infrastructure‑as‑Code (Terraform, CDK) and environment automation.
Proven CI/CD ownership for multi‑service SaaS, including safe rollbacks and release hygiene.
Solid security fundamentals (least‑privilege IAM, network segmentation, secrets, TLS) and familiarity with SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / GDPR expectations.
Observability end‑to‑end (logs/metrics/traces), incident leadership, and postmortem practice.
Clear, pragmatic communicator who documents decisions and trade‑offs.
Nice‑to‑haves
Background with MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch
Prior team leadership
How we work
Senior, low‑ego, remote‑first team. We value fast feedback loops, little yellow/red tape, ability to iterate at startup‑like pace
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance
