Fully remote, in-office, and hybrid opportunities available!

As a senior member of the ClickBank infrastructure team, you will be responsible for architecting, provisioning, and maintaining highly available and secure services in an AWS environment.

The Job...

What You'll Do

You will lead the implementation and support of internal and customer-facing services, managing everything from VPC networking and storage to container orchestration via EKS. Using Terraform, you will build and maintain configuration management and orchestration tools to automate environment provisioning.

Your responsibilities include monitoring logs for anomalous behavior, managing access to IT assets via IAM, and participating in the primary on-call rotation. You will partner closely with product development teams to provide operational support, troubleshoot complex production issues, and ensure that our "paved roads" for deployment are both fast and secure.
