Taktile is looking for an Infrastructure Engineer to build and maintain our robust cloud infrastructure. You'll architect AWS environments, implement infrastructure as code, optimize CI/CD pipelines, and ensure cloud resources are secure and cost-effective, partnering closely with product engineers and SREs.
What You'll Do
- Own AWS at scale: Operate multi-account AWS Organizations (SCPs, guardrails, budgets), IAM, networking, logging, and account vending.
- Design, build, and maintain Terraform modules and CloudFormation stacks for core platform services and developer self-service.
- Create and maintain GitHub Actions workflows (build/test/release), reusable actions, and environment promotion.
- Improve observability (CloudWatch, alarms, dashboards), backups, disaster recovery runbooks, and incident response automation.
- Implement tagging policies, budgets/alerts, rightsizing and lifecycle policies to keep spend in check.
- Write small tools and automations in Python/Bash to integrate APIs, enforce policies, and eliminate manual steps.
- Partner with product engineers and SREs to deliver paved-road patterns and documentation.
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years in Infrastructure/Platform/SRE/DevOps roles, operating production systems in AWS.
- Deep experience with Terraform (modules, workspaces, versioning) and CloudFormation (or CDK) in multi-account setups.
- Proven track record building and maintaining GitHub Actions pipelines at scale (matrix builds, reusable workflows, OIDC to AWS).
- Solid understanding of AWS IAM, VPC/networking, logging/monitoring, and account governance.
- Strong engineering fundamentals with a passion for simplicity and precision.
- Fluency in English, both written and spoken.
Nice to Have
- Serverless (Lambda, API Gateway, EventBridge, Step Functions) and container platforms (ECS/EKS).
- Policy as code (Open Policy Agent, Conftest), drift detection, and security/compliance guardrails.
- Experience enabling developer self-service platforms/internal developer portals.
Technical Stack
- AWS
- Terraform
- CloudFormation
- GitHub Actions
- Python
