Skills
Must have
- Five or more years building and operating production AWS infrastructure.
- Strong Terraform in a team setting: module design and versioning, remote state, drift, and PR-based workflows.
- Multi-account AWS Organizations or Control Tower experience, including SCPs and cross-account IAM.
- Deep IAM: policy and trust-policy design, permission boundaries, and least privilege in practice.
- Production container experience on ECS or Kubernetes, and managed relational databases.
- Python or Bash for automation and tooling.
- Experience migrating or consolidating legacy infrastructure without downtime, and the judgment to sequence that work safely.
- Clear writing, and the judgment to weigh risk, cost, and delivery speed against each other.
- Daily use of Claude, Claude Code, and Cowork in your engineering workflow.
Nice to have
- AFT, Landing Zone Accelerator, or similar account-vending automation.
- IAM Identity Center or SAML / OIDC federation with an external IdP.
- Designing and testing cross-region DR against defined RPO and RTO targets.
- Aurora operations at scale: replication topology, failover, and backup and restore.
- Security Hub, GuardDuty, AWS Config, or SIEM-style CloudTrail analysis. EDR tooling such as CrowdStrike.
- AWS Backup at organization scale, including cross-region and cross-account copy.
- Cloudflare or a comparable CDN and WAF at the edge.
- Data or AI workloads on AWS (Redshift, MWAA, Bedrock).
- Working with distributed teams across time zones.
- AWS certifications (Solutions Architect, SysOps, Security Specialty).
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or an equivalent operational track record.

About the Role
Seeking.com is the world's largest premium dating platform, founded and led by an MIT alumnus and headquartered in Las Vegas. We are hiring a Senior Cloud / AWS Infrastructure Engineer to build, operate, and secure the AWS environment that runs our products.
The environment is AWS Organizations with Control Tower, accounts vended through Account Factory for Terraform, and governance applied through global and per-account customization layers. Infrastructure is Terraform, delivered through a versioned in-house module library. Workloads run across ECS Fargate, Aurora MySQL and PostgreSQL, ElastiCache, EFS, Lambda, OpenSearch, Redshift, MWAA, and Bedrock, with Cloudflare at the edge.
Disaster recovery. We are building cross-region DR for a flagship platform, essentially from the ground up. Today the platform is regionally concentrated. You will define the DR plan against real RPO and RTO targets, design and build the replication and failover path, and prove it with real exercises.
Security engineering. Identity hardening, replacing static credentials with federated and role-based access, extending preventive and detective controls, and turning findings into engineering fixes.
Who Should Apply
- Senior Cloud or Platform Engineers at consumer subscription, marketplace, or SaaS companies who have run AWS Organizations at scale.
- Site Reliability Engineers with a heavy IaC and security bias who have taken a regionally concentrated platform to cross-region DR.
- DevOps Engineers from a Terraform-first shop who own module libraries other teams depend on.
- Cloud Security Engineers who built the guardrails, the SCPs, and the federated access patterns their org runs on today.
What You Will Do
Cloud Architecture and Infrastructure as Code
- Extend the Terraform module library and the AFT customization layers (VPC and IPAM allocation, private hosted zones, SSM access, backup vaults, account baselines) so new accounts land secure and consistent by default.
- Design VPC architecture, cross-account networking, and shared services in a hub-and-spoke configuration model.
