Here’s what you’ll be doing
You’ll own key parts of Toddle’s product and platform end‑to‑end – building infra, shaping backend services, and evolving our AWS platform (IaC, CI/CD, observability, security, performance). This role is for generalists who enjoy working across frontend, backend, and infrastructure.
As a SRE, you will play a major role in championing, leading, and maintaining infrastructure at Toddle.
- Architect and evolve core platform primitives (networking, runtime, data, observability) for high availability and scale.
- Build golden paths and internal tooling to improve developer experience (templates, CLIs, paved roads, test/data pipelines).
- Define and automate security baselines (WAF, IAM policies, key management, secret management) and compliance evidence collection.
- Implement robust CI/CD (pipelines, artifact management, SBOM) and release strategies.
- Optimise Postgres at scale (query tuning, indices, replication, backups, PITR) and caching layers (Redis/Edge).
- Partner with product teams to enable rapid, safe delivery; contribute to backend APIs and occasional React tooling/screens.
Must have Skills:
- 3–5 years in platform/infra roles within product engineering organizations.
- Deep AWS experience (networking, security, compute, storage, databases, CDN) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred).
- Strong understanding of security, privacy, and compliance practices.
- Expertise in CI/CD, containerization, Linux, Git, Node.js, build tooling (e.g., Webpack), and monitoring/alerting.
- Proficiency in at least one backend stack (Node.js/TypeScript preferred); familiarity with React.
- Clear communication, bias for action, ownership, and empathy.
Good to have:
- Cost governance & capacity planning; led incident and cost programs.
- RDS/PostgreSQL at scale – replication, read replicas, partitioning; multi-region topologies.
- Serverless architectures (Lambda-first mindset).
- Event-driven systems & job orchestration (SQS, Step Functions, Temporal, BullMQ).
- Compliance & security program experience (ISO 27001, SOC 2).
- Team building: forming platform teams/guilds; interviewing & onboarding engineers.
- Performance profiling across web/mobile APIs & databases; cost optimization.
Is this someone that looks like you?
