Role overview

Readable role content extracted into sections for faster review.

Deep hands-on Terraform expertise — you own IaC, not just contribute to it
Proven AWS experience at scale — EKS, RDS, cloud networking, DNS, CDNs, load balancers — you know the gotchas
Experienced operating Kubernetes in production — you've debugged the hard stuff, not just deployed the easy stuff
Comfortable designing and improving CI/CD systems — CircleCI, GitHub Actions, or similar; you care about developer velocity, not just pipeline uptime
Strong observability instincts — Datadog, Sentry, PagerDuty, Cronitor — you build alerting that's actionable, not noisy
Experienced with on-call and incident management — you've run the post-mortems and actually changed things afterward
Comfortable supporting developers across local, staging, and production — you're a resource, not a gatekeeper
You naturally reach for AI in your work — at Babylist, every team uses AI daily. You're already using it to move faster and improve your output, and you stay curious about what's coming next.

Infrastructure ownership — manage and evolve our AWS environment using Terraform, keeping EKS clusters, databases, and core services current and performant
CI/CD reliability — own the speed and reliability of our CI systems for the full Engineering org — every deploy starts here
Developer support — be the person engineers turn to when environments break; unblock them fast across local, staging, and production
Monitoring & alerting standards — establish and socialize best practices so the right people get paged for the right reasons
Incident response — lead or support incident response, drive post-incident reviews, and close the loop so the same thing doesn't happen twice
Platform strategy — contribute to architectural decisions that shape how Babylist's infrastructure evolves over the next several years

Platform is the team every engineering team depends on — your work has outsized leverage across the entire product org, not just one area
The infrastructure is solid but actively evolving — you're not inheriting chaos, you're shaping what comes next
This is a staff-level role with real cross-team visibility — you'll influence how Babylist engineers build and ship, not just keep the lights on
You'll work on systems that support millions of families at a high-stakes life moment — the scale is real and the product context makes the reliability work matter

We work with focus and intention, then step away to recharge
We believe in exceptional management, and we invest in the tools and the time to connect with colleagues
We build products that positively impact millions of people's lives
AI is part of how we work, not a side experiment. You'll have leading tools like Claude and ChatGPT from day one, with no waiting on access, so the busywork gets handled and your judgment goes where it counts

Company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
Retirement savings plan with company matching and flexible spending accounts
Generous paid parental leave and PTO
Winter Wonder Week: the whole company takes a paid week off at the end of the year, whether or not you celebrate anything, so everyone's out at once and comes back refreshed
Remote work stipend to set up your office
Perks for physical, mental, and emotional health, parenting, childcare, and financial planning
