Job description

ABOUT QUINCE Quince is a destination for builders, creators, innovators, and operators who want to come together and challenge the status quo. Our mission is simple: make really high quality essentials for really low prices, fairly and sustainably. We deliver on that mission through a unique manufacturer-to-consumer (M2C) model eliminating the layers of traditional retail that add cost and result in consumers paying more than they need to. We find, build relationships with, and work directly with the manufacturing partners behind some of the world’s finest products. From there, our teams design smart, efficient operational processes and build and deploy proprietary technology, AI, and analytics to help us scale fast. What began with a small assortment of elevated basics has quickly grown into a cross-category brand spanning apparel, accessories, home goods, and more. Today, tens of millions of people across a growing number of countries come – and return – to Quince because they trust us to deliver. OUR CULTURE Quince is a culture built for builders by builders. Our way of working starts with a blank sheet of paper. We question conventional thinking, use technology and data to uncover new opportunities, and move quickly to turn ideas into reality. We aren’t interested in replicating how others do retail. We’re building a better way – at a speed and scale unlike anything that’s been done before. We dream big and chase the hard problems others shy away from. Rejecting long-held assumptions is part of our company's DNA. Where conventional wisdom says you have to choose – soft or durable, speed or rigor, quality or price – we ask why that trade-off has to exist in the first place. Our pace is fast and the bar is high because our customers expect a lot from us and we refuse to let them down. We believe the best results come from challenging ourselves, learning from one another, and building on each other's strengths. Here, responsibility is not determined by role, tenure, or seniority. Every team member - no matter their level - has the opportunity to drive our business and shape our trajectory. If you’re someone who likes to imagine new possibilities and build better systems rather than plug-in to outdated ones, Quince is the place for you. THE ROLE Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer III As a Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer III, you will be a key individual contributor responsible for designing, building, and maintaining stable, secure, and highly scalable cloud infrastructure across development, staging, and production environments.

Observability & Monitoring: Implement and manage monitoring, logging, and alerting systems to ensure high availability and proactive incident management. Reliability & Performance: Lead capacity planning, automated scaling strategies, disaster recovery testing, and blue-green deployment strategies. Security & Best Practices: Enforce security best practices, networking standards, access controls, and data protection across public cloud infrastructure. Developer Experience: Automate repetitive operational tasks to empower product teams and reduce developer friction throughout the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Requirements Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or Infrastructure Engineering. Cloud Expertise: Deep working knowledge of AWS cloud services (EC2, EKS, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM, etc.). Infrastructure as Code: Strong experience with IaC tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi. Containers & Orchestration: Proven experience with Docker and Kubernetes (EKS) in production environments. CI/CD Tools: Hands-on experience building pipelines using tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or ArgoCD. Observability Tools: Experience with monitoring and logging platforms such as Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, or the ELK stack. Systems & Networking: Strong understanding of Linux/Unix environments, networking protocols, load balancing, CDN, and DNS administration. Databases & Caching: Familiarity managing and supporting databases (e.g., MySQL, DynamoDB) and caching solutions (e.g., Redis). Communication: Excellent technical communication and problem-solving skills with a collaborative mindset. All posted ranges are reflective of base salary and may vary depending upon experience level and location. Bonus and equity may also be provided for eligible roles.
