Your Mission
As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer, you’ll help raise the reliability, operability, and resilience of the infrastructure that powers Propeller’s engineering organisation.
You’ll work across a broad infrastructure environment spanning AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform, observability, automation, and on-premise systems. Your focus will be making our platform easier to understand, safer to change, faster to recover, and simpler for teams to operate.
This role is about more than keeping systems running. You’ll help shape how reliability works at Propeller, improving service health standards, evolving SLOs and scorecards, strengthening observability, reducing operational toil, and turning production learnings into durable improvements.
As a senior engineer, you’ll be expected to lead through technical depth, judgment, and influence. You’ll take ambiguous reliability problems, find pragmatic paths forward, mentor others, and help teams make high-quality infrastructure decisions.
Day to day responsibilities
- Own and evolve critical infrastructure: operate, maintain, and improve the AWS, Kubernetes, networking, shared services, and on-premise systems that power Propeller
- Raise our reliability bar: improve the operational maturity of our platform through better observability, alerting, SLOs, scorecards, and production readiness practices
- Automate and simplify: turn repeated operational pain into tooling, workflows, and Infrastructure as Code patterns that make infrastructure safer and easier to change
- Strengthen how we respond to incidents: help mature our incident response practice through clearer runbooks, better post-incident learning, and durable fixes that prevent recurrence
- Be a trusted reliability partner: work alongside engineering teams as a teammate, not a gatekeeper, helping them reason through trade-offs, recover from incidents, and build systems they can operate with confidence.
