What you will do at GoHenry:

Design, implement, and own infrastructure systems end-to-end, from initial design through to production operation.

  • Write high-quality, well-tested infrastructure code using Terraform, Helm charts, and CI/CD pipelines, actively contributing to team-wide standards.

  • Take ownership of complex production incidents—diagnosing, resolving, and driving blameless post-incident reviews to prevent recurrence.

  • Contribute to architectural discussions with well-reasoned proposals backed by practical experience.

  • Stay current with the cloud ecosystem and bring concrete, considered recommendations for tooling and approaches to the team.

Platform Quality & Reliability

  • Maintain a consistently high bar for scalability, resilience, and reliability across your areas of ownership.

  • Implement and improve observability using meaningful metrics, structured logging, and actionable alerting that surfaces real signals.

  • Ensure all infrastructure is version-controlled, reviewable, and reproducible, following infrastructure-as-code principles throughout.

  • Design and operate systems with security and compliance in mind—ensuring adherence to industry best practices and supporting audit requirements such as PCI-DSS and SOC 2.

Cross-Team Collaboration

  • Work closely with tech squads to help them consume platform capabilities effectively and unblock their delivery.

  • Partner with backend, data, and security engineers to align on shared infrastructure patterns and standards.

  • Communicate clearly about infrastructure changes, risks, and ongoing work to the teams that depend on the platform.
