Sr. Infrastructure Engineer – eApps

COMPANY OVERVIEW

We exist to make food the world loves. But we do more than that. Our company is a place that prioritizes being a force for good, a place to expand learning, explore new perspectives and reimagine new possibilities, every day. We look for people who want to bring their best — bold thinkers with big hearts who challenge one another and grow together. Because becoming the undisputed leader in food means surrounding ourselves with people who are hungry for what’s next.​

• Drive Infrastructure as Code and automation using Terraform as the primary tool, supported by Ansible, Python, and Shell scripting; use PowerShell where required for Windows administration.

• Partner with solution teams, Enterprise Applications stakeholders, security, network, and service teams to define hosting standards, technical specifications, operational readiness, and support models.

• Provide technical leadership, mentor engineers, and promote standardization, observability, ITSM discipline, and secure-by-design practices across the E-Apps platform.

KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES

• Operate and continuously improve the E-Apps infrastructure estate, including availability, performance, capacity, resilience, disaster recovery, patching, upgrades, and platform lifecycle management.

• Design and provision GCP infrastructure using approved architecture and security patterns across compute, networking, IAM, load balancing, DNS, certificates, logging, monitoring, storage, and secrets management.

• Build reusable Terraform modules and deployment patterns and develop Ansible playbooks, Python utilities, and Shell scripts to eliminate manual work and improve deployment consistency.

• Administer and troubleshoot web and application platforms including IIS, JBoss, and Apache, with understanding of Java application hosting, reverse proxy configuration, SSL/TLS offload, certificates, ports, and application integrations.

• Implement observability and operational insight using Datadog and GCP monitoring/logging capabilities, including dashboards, metrics, logs, traces, alerting, health checks, service-level indicators, and actionable runbooks.

• Apply ITSM practices across incident, problem, change, service request, knowledge, and major-incident management; maintain accurate operational documentation and participate in governance and change reviews.

• Act as a senior escalation point for outages, complex incidents, root-cause analysis, vendor coordination, security findings, and recovery activities; drive permanent corrective actions.

• Establish standards and governance for configuration, access, automation, monitoring, vulnerability remediation, backup, recovery, and operational readiness of new and existing applications.

• Mentor team members and coordinate support coverage while promoting knowledge sharing, effective handoffs, and continuous improvement across the platform team.
