About Breezy HR
Breezy HR is a remote-first, hiring platform built for small and mid-sized businesses. Thousands of teams trust us to streamline recruiting from first touch to signed offer, and we’re passionate about delivering a fast, delightful experience for every candidate and every hiring manager.
Why we’re hiring
We need a senior hands-on owner to stabilize, secure, and evolve our cloud platform. You’ll be a primary decision-maker for AWS architecture, reliability, CI/CD, observability, and cost posture, partnering closely with the directors, developers, product, and customer success teams.
What you’ll own (hands-on + strategic)
AWS architecture & operations: Own production infrastructure end-to-end (networking, compute, storage, IAM, routing, scaling, backups, DR).
IaC & environments: Standardize and evolve Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform or AWS CDK); codify dev/stage/prod with repeatable patterns and least-privilege IAM.
CI/CD: Keep deployments fast and safe (build, test, deploy, rollback); drive progressive delivery where it makes sense.
Observability & incident response: Ensure logs/metrics/traces + actionable dashboards; lead incident command and postmortems.
Security & compliance: Own cloud security baselines and support SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / GDPR needs.
Cost & performance: Right-size infra, track spend, and implement guardrails to prevent regressions.
Technical leadership: Document the platform, unblock developers, mentor peers, and cultivate cross-training so nothing is a single point of failure.
On-call: Alternate with others on the infra on-call rotation and train others as needed.
Our stack
Backend: Node.js microservices
Data: MongoDB (self-hosted) and Redis
Hosting/Orchestration: AWS
IaC: Terraform and/or AWS CDK
Tooling: Git-based CI/CD; common observability suites
What you’ve done
7+ years building and running production systems on AWS (VPC, EC2, ELB/ALB, S3, CloudFront, Route53, RDS/ElastiCache, IAM, CloudWatch, SNS/SQS, etc.).
5+ years Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CDK) and environment automation.
Proven CI/CD ownership for multi-service SaaS, including safe rollbacks and release hygiene.
Solid security fundamentals (least-privilege IAM, network segmentation, secrets, TLS) and familiarity with SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / GDPR expectations.
Observability end-to-end (logs/metrics/traces), incident leadership, and postmortem practice.
Proficient coding in JavaScript/Node.js (enough to contribute to internal tools, CLIs, or platform services).
Clear, pragmatic communicator who documents decisions and trade-offs.
