Position Summary & Responsibilities

Team Charter:

The Cloud Engineering team is dedicated to maintaining and evolving cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, Application Security, Change Management, and Backend application golden templates. We are the backbone of the technical organization, ensuring the foundation of our services is robust, secure, and efficient.

About the role:

We are looking for a Senior Cloud Engineer to join our Cloud Engineering team. This team is tasked with ensuring scalability, reliability, and security for all backend services and keeping the SDLC running smoothly for engineers across the company.

As a senior member of the team, you will own meaningful pieces of our cloud platform end-to-end — from design through deployment and operation — while helping shape the standards, tooling, and golden templates that the rest of the engineering organization builds on. You will balance deep, hands-on technical ownership with mentoring teammates and influencing the technical direction of the systems that power a large-scale mobile marketplace.

What we love about this role:

  • Scale & Impact: You will work on systems that drive the end-user experience and support every technical team across the organization, operating across a multi-account AWS and GCP footprint.
  • Ownership: You will own critical infrastructure and platform capabilities end-to-end, making architectural decisions that affect reliability, security, and cost at scale.
  • Force Multiplier: The templates, pipelines, and tooling you build raise the productivity and safety of every engineer at OfferUp.
  • Emerging Technology: You will help bring new capabilities — including AI/ML developer tooling and infrastructure — into the hands of our engineers.

In this role, you will design, build, and operate the cloud infrastructure, platform tooling, and CI/CD systems that underpin OfferUp's core applications. Day to day, that means you will:

  • Build cloud infrastructure as code — design, implement, and maintain AWS and GCP infrastructure with Terraform, optimizing for reliability, security, and cost.
  • Own our Kubernetes & GitOps platform — run and evolve EKS/GKE (cluster upgrades, Envoy/Gloo networking, Helm, ArgoCD delivery).
  • Keep the SDLC fast and sa
