About the Role
We're looking for a Senior Engineer, DevOps to join the Live & Collect Infrastructure team in Los Angeles. You'll design, build, and operate the cloud foundation that powers Fanatics' Live & Collect platforms across AWS and GCP. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys solving hard infrastructure problems at scale, applying AI/ML tooling to infrastructure and operations, mentoring other engineers, and championing DevOps maturity across the org.
What You'll Do
- Design, build, and maintain scalable, resilient infrastructure across AWS and GCP using infrastructure-as-code (Terraform).
- Own core cloud platform services — Kubernetes, networking, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Evaluate and integrate AI-assisted tooling (e.g., LLM-based automation, AIOps, intelligent monitoring) to improve infrastructure efficiency and operations.
- Partner with product and platform engineering teams to architect cloud solutions that support high-traffic, high-availability Live & Collect systems.
- Administer and tune managed and self-hosted databases (Cloud Spanner, AWS RDS, PostgreSQL), including performance tuning, capacity planning, backup/recovery, and query optimization.
