Senior Cloud Engineer

Join Fandom, a platform for over 300 million fans worldwide, as a Senior Cloud Engineer. In this hands-on role, you will design, architect, and scale high-availability routing architectures, manage and automate cloud and edge infrastructure, maintain and optimize large-scale production environments, develop internal tools for operational automation, and drive operational excellence. You will work closely with developers, product engineers, and other infrastructure teams, contributing to CI/CD, monitoring, automation, and cloud efforts.

Design, architect, and scale high-availability routing architectures to seamlessly balance and secure global user traffic across a hybrid footprint of on-premise datacenters, AWS, and GCP.

Responsibilities

• Manage and automate cloud and edge infrastructure as code (IaC) using Terraform and Chef, ensuring consistent configurations for Kubernetes, global Cloudflare services, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Maintain and optimize large-scale production environments, orchestrating high-availability MySQL replication, automated failover, robust disaster recovery, and system monitoring.
• This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys solving complex infrastructure challenges, improving deployment systems, and enabling engineering teams to move faster and safer

Requirements

• Demonstrated capability using generative AI tools (e.g., Gemini, NotebookLM) to enhance productivity, paired with the ability to critically audit and verify outputs for accuracy, security, and context
• Deep proficiency in Linux systems administration, networking protocols (TCP/IP, routing), secure systems practices, and scripting/programming (Go, Python, or Bash)
• Practical experience managing production MySQL database environments, including deep familiarity with replication topologies, failover mechanisms, and performance tuning
• Proven hands-on experience with core infrastructure tech: Kubernetes/container orchestration, CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins), and monitoring/reliability systems (e.g., Prometheus)
• 5+ years of experience in Technical/Network Operations, DevOps, or SRE roles managing large-scale production platforms (e.g., 10M+ monthly active users)
• Advanced Cloudflare expertise, including CDN optimization, WAF security, DNS management, edge performance tuning, and Cloudflare Tunnels
• Experience defining SLOs and instrumentation, implementing meaningful metrics, logs, and traces to reduce alert noise and drive postmortem action items
• Strong understanding of distributed systems architecture, edge caching, and centralized log management using the ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana)
