Role
Who you are
- 10-15 years of experience building and operating production cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS)

- GitHub & GitHub Actions: branch protection, environments, reusable workflows, OIDC to AWS, secrets/variables, caching, matrices
- AWS services: VPC, IAM, EKS, ALB/NLB, EC2/EKS node groups, ECR, RDS/ElastiCache, S3, CloudWatch/CloudTrail, KMS, Secrets Manager
- EKS & container orchestration: Helm/Kustomize, rollout strategies, cluster autoscaler, networking (CNI/ingress), HPA/PDBs
- Argo & Argo CD: Applications & ApplicationSets, sync/health checks, drift detection, RBAC, SSO
- Observability tools: metrics/logs/traces (Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Datadog, New Relic, Honeycomb, CloudWatch, ELK/OpenSearch)
- CI/CD strategies: trunk-based, quality gates (tests, SAST/DAST, IaC scans), artifact/versioning, environment promotions, canary/blue-green
- Strong scripting (Bash/Python), configuration tooling (Helm/Kustomize), solid Linux and networking fundamentals
- Clear communicator with a bias for automation, documentation, and collaborative problem-solving
Desirable
- Service Mesh (Istio/Linkerd), progressive delivery (Argo Rollouts/Flagger)

What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to design, build, and operate scalable, secure, and highly available cloud platforms on AWS
- You’ll own Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform), container orchestration (EKS), GitHub-based workflows (Actions + source control), GitOps (Argo/Argo CD), and end-to-end CI/CD strategies with strong observability
- Architect and deliver AWS infrastructure using Terraform (modular, reusable, versioned IaC) across multiple accounts and environments
- Design, deploy, and harden EKS clusters (networking, autoscaling, security, ingress, service mesh optional) and standardize app deployment patterns
- Implement GitOps with Argo/Argo CD (ApplicationSets, sync policies, RBAC, SSO, secrets management, progressive delivery)
- Build CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions (reusable workflows, artifact strategy, rollouts/rollbacks, automated quality gates)
- Define SLI/SLOs and enable observability with metrics, logs, traces, alerting, and runbooks using best-in-class tools
- Drive platform reliability and security: patching, upgrades, backups, disaster recovery, IAM least privilege, secrets, and compliance guardrails
- Optimize performance and cost: autoscaling, right-sizing, spot/on-demand strategies, efficiency dashboards
- Partner with developers to create golden paths, templates, and documentation that accelerate safe delivery
- Participate in on-call, lead incident RCAs, and drive improvements through code and process changes
Our take
Digital fingerprinting is an essential process in web browsers that tracks the digital address of a device to monitor web activity. This technique facilitates the identification of fraud and spam, as well as warning signs of account takeovers. However, the success of this requires users to accept cookies, a requirement that is easy to avoid.
Fingerprint provides a digital fingerprinting tool that generates a unique identifier of browser activity without requiring the user to accept cookies. The service uses the same WebGL and canvas fingerprinting utilized by existing competitors, but instead of focusing on devices, it identifies web activity. Suspicious activity will result in the identified user being logged in a database, allowing the service to be improved for others.
With this innovative approach, Fingerprint has been able to build up an impressive client roster of over 6,000 companies, including 16% of the top 500 websites by traffic. As well as displaying sustained growth through funding rounds, the company has also continued to improve upon its offering.
