Senior DevOps Engineer

We are looking for an engineer who has designed and owned production infrastructure end-to-end, rather than someone who has only maintained existing DevOps tooling. The ideal candidate combines deep AWS and Terraform expertise with strong CI/CD ownership, reliability engineering, automation, and the ability to work across engineering and data teams.

Responsibilities:

• Architect, implement, and operate scalable AWS infrastructure supporting business-critical applications and data platforms.
• Design and manage Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform.
• Build reusable Terraform modules and establish best practices around state management, environments, and infrastructure lifecycle.
• Modernize existing infrastructure by importing and migrating brownfield AWS resources into Terraform.
• Design, build, and own CI/CD pipelines from code commit through production deployment.
• Implement progressive delivery strategies such as blue-green and canary deployments.
• Build automated rollback mechanisms based on application health, deployment metrics, and SLO breaches.
• Manage and optimize AWS services, including EC2 RDS, ElastiCache, IAM, VPC, networking, and cost-management tooling.
• Build and operate stateful systems supporting real-time and batch analytics at a large scale.
• Partner with engineering, data, analytics, and product teams to translate business requirements into production-grade infrastructure.
• Establish and improve observability across infrastructure and applications using metrics, logs, traces, and alerts.
• Define and monitor Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and drive improvements in platform reliability.
• Automate operational workflows and reduce manual intervention and on-call burden.
• Troubleshoot complex infrastructure, networking, deployment, and production reliability issues.
• Drive cloud cost optimization and infrastructure efficiency across AWS environments.
• Establish engineering standards around security, scalability, reliability, and operational excellence.

Requirements:

• 7+ years of experience in DevOps, platform engineering, SRE, or infrastructure engineering.
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS in production environments.
• Deep knowledge of EC2 RDS, ElastiCache, IAM, VPC, AWS networking, and cloud cost optimization.
• Strong expertise in Terraform with experience in Terraform module architecture, state management, remote state, infrastructure lifecycle management, brownfield infrastructure import and migration, and multi-environment infrastructure.
• Proven experience owning production CI/CD pipelines.
• Hands-on experience with GitHub Actions or equivalent CI/CD platforms.
• Experience implementing progressive delivery and automated deployment rollback.
• Strong understanding of cloud networking, security, IAM, and infrastructure architecture.
• Experience with observability and monitoring platforms.
• Strong understanding of reliability engineering, SLOs, incident management, and production operations.
• Experience working with large-scale data, analytics, or distributed systems environments.

Good to Have:

• Experience with Kubernetes and containerized workloads.
• Experience with AWS CloudFormation or other IaC technologies.
• Experience with ArgoCD, Spinnaker, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar deployment platforms.
• Experience with Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, CloudWatch, OpenTelemetry, or similar observability tools.
• Experience operating infrastructure supporting large-scale or petabyte-scale data platforms.
• Strong scripting skills in Python, Bash, or similar languages.
• Experience with FinOps and cloud cost optimization.
• Experience designing highly available and fault-tolerant systems.

Core Tech Stack:

• Cloud: AWS.
• IaC: Terraform.
• CI/CD: GitHub Actions / equivalent.
• Infrastructure: EC2 RDS, ElastiCache, VPC, IAM.
• Observability: CloudWatch / Prometheus / Grafana / Datadog / OpenTelemetry.
• Scripting: Python / Bash.
• Deployment: Progressive Delivery, Automated Rollbacks.
