About this role

The Role

You'll own the infrastructure that keeps Merciv running at enterprise scale. You'll architect, build, and maintain the cloud systems that Fortune 500 retailers trust with their most critical data and decision-making. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role — you'll work closely with backend and ML engineers to ensure our platform is secure, scalable, and relentlessly reliable.

We believe in GitOps, infrastructure as code, and building systems that let engineering teams move fast without breaking things. You'll be the person who makes that real.

What You'll Do

Architect and build secure, scalable cloud infrastructure using IaC (Terraform/Terragrunt) on AWS

Design and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines; convert manual processes into automated, repeatable workflows

Own production reliability — set up observability stacks, define SLI/SLOs, and lead incident response

Implement and champion GitOps workflows for all infrastructure deployments

Build compliance-ready infrastructure (SOC 2, GDPR) with IAM best practices and secrets management

Optimize cloud costs while maintaining performance and reliability at scale

Create developer tooling and documentation that accelerates engineering workflows across the team

Mentor team members on DevOps best practices and guide infrastructure strategy
