## About this role.

AI SummaryFieldguide is hiring a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to own critical platform architecture and build reliable, secure cloud infrastructure for its audit and assurance software. The role centers on AWS, Terraform-based infrastructure as code, observability, incident response, disaster recovery, and security compliance. This is a senior, high-ownership position that includes setting long-term infrastructure direction, mentoring engineers, and communicating strategy to leadership. Candidates need at least five years of complex AWS experience, strong monitoring and logging expertise, and familiarity with regulated environments such as SOC 2, PCI-DSS, or HIPAA. The position is remote anywhere in the United States, with hybrid work for Bay Area employees.

Sample interview questionsHow would you design a Terraform-based infrastructure platform that multiple engineering teams can use safely and consistently?I would establish versioned, reusable modules for common services and define clear ownership boundaries, inputs, and defaults. I would use remote state with locking, separate environments and accounts, policy-as-code controls, automated plan and apply workflows, and documented upgrade paths. Platform adoption would be supported by templates, examples, and feedback loops so teams can self-serve without bypassing security or reliability standards.

Describe how you would improve observability for a critical production service running on AWS.

I would begin by identifying service-level indicators tied to user impact, such as availability, latency, error rate, and saturation. I would implement structured logging, distributed tracing where appropriate, and dashboards that connect application, database, and infrastructure signals. Alerts would be actionable, tied to defined service-level objectives, and paired with runbooks to reduce response time and alert fatigue.

How do you approach incident response and ensure postmortems lead to durable improvements?

During an incident, I focus on stabilizing customer impact, maintaining a clear incident command structure, and communicating status at an appropriate cadence. Afterward, I facilitate a blameless review that documents the timeline, contributing conditions, detection gaps, and decisions made. Corrective actions should have owners, due dates, and measurable outcomes, with priority given to systemic fixes rather than relying only on individual vigilance.

What infrastructure controls would you prioritize for a product operating in a SOC 2 or PCI-oriented environment?

I would prioritize least-privilege identity and access management, centralized audit logging, secrets management, network segmentation, encryption in transit and at rest, vulnerability management, and tested backup and recovery controls. I would also ensure evidence collection is automated where possible and map controls to operational ownership. The goal is to make secure behavior the default while preserving developer productivity.

How would you communicate a long-term infrastructure investment to executives when its value is primarily risk reduction?

I would frame the proposal in terms of customer trust, operational risk, engineering velocity, and cost of inaction. I would quantify current pain through incident history, reliability metrics, toil, compliance gaps, and delivery delays, then present phased options with expected outcomes and tradeoffs. This gives leaders a clear basis to prioritize the investment alongside product work.
