Senior Software Engineer (Infrastructure)

Join VSCO, a fully remote organization, as a Senior Software Engineer specializing in Infrastructure. In this hands-on role, you will design and operate the AWS and EKS platform, own production cutovers, and partner with product and data teams. You will also build and maintain CI/CD on GitHub Actions, run core data stores and caches, and participate in the infra on-call rotation. This is a senior individual contributor position where you will own projects end to end, review PRs, and sequence cutovers.

• Design, build, and operate the AWS and EKS platform using Terraform, Helm/Kustomize, and Flux GitOps across infra, shared-infra, and app-owned repos.
• Own production cutovers end to end: ingress, DNS, workers and crons, telemetry monitors and dashboards, and a rollback plan you would actually use.
• Partner with product and data teams on the right home for new infra, including namespaces, secrets (SOPS, IRSA), preview environments, and not reinventing namespace or secret wiring that already lives in shared-infra.

• GitOps and CI/CD in anger: Flux and/or Helm, plus GitHub Actions (self-hosted runners a plus)
• Strong production experience with Kubernetes/EKS, Linux, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform). You have shipped and operated this, not only used a chart someone else wrote
• Familiarity with the languages our CI builds (Go, Python, PHP, Node, Java, Ruby, and similar). You do not need to be a product engineer in these languages. You do need to be comfortable supporting the pipelines, images, and runners that compile and test them
• Experience troubleshooting complex production issues, including network and DNS, and turning them into durable fixes
• Experience leading technical architecture discussions, explaining tradeoffs, and driving a decision inside a small team
• AWS in production: EKS, IAM/IRSA, networking (VPC, NAT, DNS), and at least one of RDS/MySQL, Elasticache/Valkey, or OpenSearch
• 5+ years in infrastructure, platform, or site reliability engineering, including time as a hands-on owner of production systems (not only tickets and runbooks)
• Excellent communication: you can teach another team how to consume the platform, and you can write the cutover plan
• Cloudflare DNS, CDN, and zone migration experience (alongside or instead of CloudFront)
• Datadog, Groundcover, Honeycomb (monitors, dashboards, bonus if you understand OTEL)
• OpenSearch, Valkey/Redis, MySQL, Mongo, Kafka
• GitHub Actions Runner Controller, preview environments, or similar paved-road CI
• Flux, Helm, Kustomize, and a point of view on which repo should own a given piece of infra
• Using AI tools like Cursor to help force multiply your work
• High-scale consumer or creator products
• A connection to photography, visual storytelling, or creative communities
• BS in Computer Science or related technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience
