With over five years of experience in cloud engineering and infrastructure, I have successfully led complex migrations, modernized CI/CD pipelines, and implemented observability strategies for SaaS products. My expertise in Terraform and major cloud providers like AWS aligns well with your goal of providing a 'paved road' for your brands. I am particularly drawn to the autonomous yet collaborative nature of this role. I thrive when advising engineering leaders on trade-offs and delivering measurable improvements, whether through cost optimization or reliability enhancements. I also embrace AI coding tools like Claude Code in my daily workflow and enjoy coaching teams to adopt them effectively. I am eager to help saas.group scale its platform engineering impact across your portfolio and look forward to contributing from day one. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, [Your Name] Copy Sample interview questionsCan you describe a complex infrastructure migration you led, and how did you ensure success across multiple teams?I led a migration of a monolithic application to Kubernetes on AWS. I first conducted a thorough assessment of dependencies and traffic patterns, then created a phased migration plan with rollback strategies. I worked closely with the development team to containerize the app, set up CI/CD pipelines, and gradually shifted traffic while monitoring error rates and latency. Regular communication with stakeholders and clear documentation were key to a smooth transition. How would you approach advising a brand CTO who is resistant to adopting your recommended best practices? I would start by understanding their current pain points and constraints. I would present data-driven arguments, such as how observability improves MTTR or how IaC reduces deployment errors, using concrete examples from other brands. I'd offer to pilot the solution on a small, low-risk project to demonstrate value, and involve their engineers in the process to build buy-in. Ultimately, I'd frame the recommendations as enabling their team, not adding overhead. What is your experience using AI coding tools like Claude Code or Codex in infrastructure work, and how do you ensure their outputs are reliable? I use AI tools daily for generating Terraform modules, writing scripts, and debugging logs. For example, I use Claude Code to draft boilerplate IaC, then manually review and test it in a sandbox environment. I always validate AI-generated code against best practices, run linting and security scans, and maintain a clear understanding of what the code does. I also encourage teams to treat AI as a pair programmer, not a substitute for expertise. How do you design a security and backup strategy for a SaaS brand that has no existing infrastructure standards? I would start by assessing the current architecture and identifying critical data and compliance requirements. I'd implement automated backups with encryption at rest and in transit, using object storage with versioning and retention policies. For security, I'd enable least-privilege IAM roles, enforce MFA, and set up centralized logging and alerting. I'd also introduce secure secrets management and regularly test restore procedures to ensure data integrity. Describe how you establish SLO-aligned dashboards and improve reliability with data. What metrics do you prioritize? I prioritize metrics based on user impact, starting with availability, latency, and error rate. I define SLOs using a burn-rate approach, then build dashboards in tools like Datadog or Grafana that show SLI trends against targets. I also track saturation metrics like CPU and memory usage to predict capacity issues. Once data is visible, I use error budget policies to guide teams on when to focus on reliability versus features, fostering a data-driven culture.

The mission: provide a “paved road” of opinionated best practices (observability, backups, CI/CD, infra as code) that brands can adopt quickly, and support hands-on migrations when needed. You’ll own outcomes for a set of brands: assess where they are, recommend what “good” looks like, and implement the plan. The role blends architecture, enablement, and practical engineering. It’s senior and autonomous: you’ll advise and sometimes convince stakeholders, then deliver. Your immediate impact in the first 3-6 months will be: Complete central onboarding by pairing with a team member for ~2 weeks to learn our patterns and tooling, then start managing the brands assigned to you. * Lead the onboarding of at least one brand to our “paved road” standards (GitHub org, CI/CD, monitoring/observability, IaC), with positive feedback from brand leadership and our team. * Deliver one or more migrations/refactors (e.g., CI/CD, infra modernization, cost/availability improvements) and document decisions so others can build on them. ## Your responsibilities * Lead infrastructure projects for assigned brands: migrations, performance & reliability improvements, incident response practices, containerization, and cloud cost optimizations. * Establish/upgrade CI/CD, infra as code, monitoring, alerting, and SLO-aligned dashboards; baseline and improve reliability with data. * Advise brand CTOs/engineering leads on trade-offs and architecture; justify decisions with clear reasoning and measurable outcomes. * Contribute to and consume central services (e.g., observability, backups) so brands don’t reinvent the wheel. * Collaborate with developers as part of the product team during engagements; troubleshoot across app and infra boundaries. * Bring AI into the paved road itself: use tools like Claude Code or Codex daily to speed up IaC, scripting, and incident diagnosis, and help brand teams pick up the same habits in their own workflows. * Participate in an on-call rotation (lightweight today; scaling toward a fair, shared model). ## What You bring to the table * 5+ years of experience in Platform or Cloud Engineering, DevOps, or Site Reliability Engineering roles, operating at a senior level with strong ownership and autonomy. * Deep expertise in at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and practical experience with Infrastructure as Code (ideally Terraform). * Solid understanding of CI/CD concepts and best practices; able to assess, design, and modernize pipelines across diverse brand environments. * Experience with monitoring and observability tools (Datadog, New Relic, ELK, Prometheus, or similar) and sound judgment on what “good” looks like. * Hands-on, daily use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, or similar) in real infra work, not just curiosity about them; comfortable coaching brand teams on how to use them well. * A background in software development or the ability to read and debug application code. * Excellent communication and consulting skills; confident in advising and influencing technical stakeholders while adapting to different teams and tech stacks. ## What’s in it for You * Ultimate flexibility: We’re 100% remote. You can work from wherever you like, whenever you like. * Freedom and autonomy: We’re a high-trust team, and you’ll be given lots of flexibility to solve problems in your own way — with plenty of help from the team when you need it. * Minimum bureaucracy: We don’t like to get bogged down with meetings and red tape. We like to be efficient and keep momentum steady & sustainable. * Small & friendly team: We help each other out, have fun, and joke around. * Our network: We are a community of entrepreneurial SaaS professionals that regularly exchange ideas, knowledge, learning and expertise with each other internally. * Flexible time off: We want you to recharge your batteries when needed. We don’t just simply offer you to “take a job with us” but rather to “join us on this journey” to build the world’s largest platform of independent SaaS companies.
