Project – the aim you’ll have

We’re seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Cloud DevOps Engineer to accelerate reliability, scalability, and performance across cloud‑native platforms. If you thrive on AWS and live and breathe automation, this role is for you.

Position – how you’ll contribute

• Design & run CI/CD — Build and maintain resilient pipelines for scalable, repeatable releases (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins; GitOps with Argo CD/Flux where it fits).
• Automate everything — Replace manual workflows across build, test, deploy, and ops with automation; lean on AWS where relevant and keep vendor lock‑in low.
• Own cloud infrastructure — Manage and optimize AWS environments (cost, performance, HA/DR). Evolve landing zones, shared services, and platform patterns with IaC.
• Make systems observable — Lead end‑to‑end observability with Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetryand ELK/EFK. Integrate CloudWatch/X‑Ray where useful for AWS‑native signals.
• Troubleshoot at pace — Rapidly diagnose and resolve infra, deployment, and performance issues; use automation and guardrails to prevent regressions.
• Plan & execute migrations — Design and run secure migrations out of AWS (e.g., to Azure): hybrid networking (Site‑to‑Site VPN/Transit Gateway), AWS MGN, AWS DMS, data moves, cutover/runbooks.
• Raise the bar — Continuously evaluate services and patterns that improve speed, stability, and security—balancing managed services with portability.
• Partner with developers — Embed cloud best practices into the SDLC, champion DevSecOps and shared ownership.
• Secure by design — Apply identity, network, data, and pipeline hardening (IAM, least privilege, KMS, secrets management, policy as code).

Expectations – the experience you need

• 5+ years in a senior DevOps/SRE role with deep AWS experience.
• Strong scripting in Python and Bash (Ruby a plus).
• Containers at scale — Docker; Kubernetes (EKS preferred; ECS a plus).
• IaC mastery — Terraform (Ansible a plus) with AWS‑ready modules, workspaces, and remote state best practices.
• End‑to‑end CI/CD fluency — GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Jenkins; CD via Argo CD/Flux or equivalent.
• AWS fundamentals — EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, IAM, VPC (networking, security, multi‑account patterns).
• Observability — Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry; ELK/EFK. (CloudWatch/X‑Ray integration where needed.)
• Logging — ELK/EFK stacks; structured logging and correlation end‑to‑end.
• Migration know‑how — VPNs/Transit Gateway, AWS Application Migration Service (MGN), AWS DMS, phased cutovers and rollback plans.
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and a pragmatic, ownership mindset.

Additional skills – the edge you have

• Certifications: AWS DevOps Engineer, AWS Solutions Architect.
• Azure familiarity (AKS, ACR, VNet, Azure DevOps) to collaborate effectively during/after migration.
• Data layer experience (SQL/NoSQL) on AWS and/or Azure.
• Microservices patterns and service meshes; secure SDLC and compliance automation (OPA/Conftest, policy as code, KMS/CMK/CMEK).
