As an Infrastructure Engineer at DeleteMe, you can expect a comprehensive benefits package that includes health benefits, a flexible work schedule with 100% remote work, generous 401k matching, paid time off, company-paid holidays, childcare expense reimbursement, fitness reimbursement, and even birthday time off!

To ensure security and compliance of infrastructure systems, I implement best practices such as regular audits, using infrastructure-as-code tools for traceability, and ensuring that all configurations meet standards such as SOC 2. My experience in setting up monitoring systems helps to maintain continuous visibility.

I have extensive experience with tools like Terraform and CloudFormation, which I utilize to automate the deployment and management of infrastructure. This includes writing reusable modules, managing infrastructure versions, and facilitating consistent environments across development and production.

I begin by analyzing monitoring data to identify bottlenecks or anomalies and work my way up from infrastructure metrics to application logs. I also employ various tools to simulate load and stress test the infrastructure, which helps me pinpoint the root causes effectively.

In managing Kubernetes clusters, I focus on best practices such as implementing role-based access control for security, using Helm charts for deployment, and configuring Kubernetes resource requests and limits to optimize performance and ensure system stability.

My collaboration process begins with clear communication to understand the requirements from engineering and other teams. I set up regular check-ins and use project management tools to ensure alignment and track progress, allowing me to iteratively deliver effective infrastructure solutions.

To handle infrastructure monitoring, I deploy tools like Prometheus and Grafana to visualize metrics and set alerts based on predefined thresholds. I regularly review performance data to proactively identify issues and iterate on solutions to maintain optimal uptime.

I have significant experience managing and deploying infrastructure across both AWS and GCP. This includes working with services such as EC2, S3, Cloud Functions in AWS, and Compute Engine, GKE in GCP, as well as ensuring correct IAM policies and cost management across these platforms.

I prioritize tasks based on their impact on business objectives and urgency. I often use a mix of agile methodologies to assess and organize tasks, ensuring that crucial infrastructure projects align with the organization's goals and stakeholder requirements.

In a previous role, we faced severe performance issues during a product launch. I led a team to identify the root cause, which was insufficient resource provisioning, and implemented auto-scaling strategies that effectively handled the increased load without incurring additional costs.

I believe in lifelong learning and stay updated with the latest industry trends through courses, webinars, and attending conferences. Additionally, I actively participate in online communities to share knowledge and learn from peers, continually honing my skills.
