Staff Cloud Engineer
PlayOn is looking for a Staff Cloud Engineer to own the technical direction of the AWS platform behind ticketing, streaming, and fundraising for high school sports across the country. Our workloads run on Amazon EKS and are provisioned through infrastructure as code, carrying the traffic patterns of live events: steady baseline punctuated by sharp, scheduled, and sometimes unpredictable spikes.
You'll partner with product engineering, security, and finance to solve two problems. Engineering teams today can't see how much their applications cost to run in the cloud, and the distance between a merged pull request and a safe production deployment is longer than it needs to be. This is a hands-on staff-level role with no direct reports.
The outcomes you'll deliver
- Give every engineering team clear visibility into what their applications cost to run in the cloud, so they can make informed decisions that lower spend
- Reduce cost to serve across our AWS footprint without sacrificing reliability during live events
- Shorten the path from merged pull request to safe production deployment
- Make environment provisioning self-service so product teams stop waiting on tickets
- Set multi-quarter technical direction for cloud infrastructure, documented well enough to outlast any single person</
