We are looking for Principal DevOps Engineer to design and build the AWS infrastructure and delivery platform the new gaming platform will run on. Greenfield: define the cloud foundation — account structure, networking, Kubernetes platform, CI/CD, observability — before the first production workload lands, then scale it to sportsbook peak traffic for millions of players. The platform must hold under live-betting spikes, strict uptime expectations for a money-moving system, and gaming-regulator audit and compliance requirements. Hands-on technical leader: writes infrastructure code daily, sets platform standards, and is the technical authority on how software is built, shipped and operated.
What you will do:
- Design the AWS foundation from scratch: multi-account architecture (AWS Organizations), landing zone, VPC and networking, IAM strategy, cost governance
- Build and operate the container platform — Amazon EKS, service mesh, autoscaling tuned for spiky sportsbook load, multi-AZ (and where justified multi-region) resilience
- Define everything as code: Terraform for all infrastructure, GitOps delivery (Argo CD or similar), paved-road CI/CD pipelines so product teams ship safely and often
- Establish the observability stack — metrics, logging, tracing, alerting (Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry, CloudWatch) — and drive an SLO-based reliability practice with error budgets
- Own production readiness: incident response, on-call design, runbooks, chaos/load testing ahead of major sporting events, blameless postmortems
- Build the infrastructure side of the migration off the current third-party platform: dual-running environments, data migration pipelines, cutover mechanics
- Embed compliance into the platform: audit trails, environment segregation, backup/DR, controls that satisfy gaming regulators by construction
- Partner with the AI coding platform team: provision and operate the infrastructure behind AI-assisted development, and bring AI tooling into DevOps workflows
- Mentor engineers across teams on cloud-native and operational best practices; set organization-wide standards
Must have:
- 10+ years of DevOps / platform / infrastructure engineering, including 3+ years at staff/principal level with organization-wide influence
- Deep hands-on AWS: EKS, EC2, RDS/Aurora, networking (VPC, Transit Gateway, Route 53), IAM at scale, multi-account architectures (AWS certifications such as SA Professional / DevOps Professional are a plus)
- Expert-level infrastructure as code with Terraform
- Strong Kubernetes operational depth: day-2 operations, upgrades, capacity, cost
- Track record of building CI/CD and developer platforms engineering teams adopted willingly — golden paths, not gatekeeping
- Observability and SLO/error-budget practice (Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry, CloudWatch)
- Experience operating high-availability, high-throughput production systems with real traffic spikes, with documented playbooks from real incidents
- Strong scripting/programming (Python, Go or Bash) and comfort reading application code
- Experience designing backup, disaster recovery and business continuity for systems where data loss is not an option
- Excellent written and spoken English; communicates platform decisions clearly to engineers and executives
Nice to have:
- Hands-on use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex) for infrastructure, pipelines and ops automation — a significant plus
- Security engineering: cloud security posture management, secrets management (e.g. Vault), vulnerability management, SAST/DAST/SCA in CI/CD, ISO 27001 / SOC 2 / PCI DSS
- iGaming, sports betting, fintech or another regulated, high-transaction-volume domain
- Migration off a third-party vendor platform
- Event-streaming infrastructure (Kafka/MSK) and database operations at scale
- Polish and/or Spanish
Skills Required
- 10+ years of DevOps, platform, or infrastructure engineering experience
- 3+ years at staff or principal level with organization-wide influence
- Deep hands-on AWS experience, including EKS, EC2, RDS/Aurora, VPC, Transit Gateway, Route 53, IAM, and multi-account architectures
- Expert-level Terraform infrastructure-as-code experience
- Strong Kubernetes operational experience, including day-two operations, upgrades, capacity, and cost management
- Experience building CI/CD and developer platforms adopted by engineering teams
- Observability and SLO/error-budget experience with Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, or CloudWatch
- Experience operating highly available, high-throughput production systems with real traffic spikes
- Strong scripting or programming skills in Python, Go, or Bash, with ability to read application code
- Experience designing backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity for systems where data loss is unacceptable
- Excellent written and spoken English
- AWS Solutions Architect Professional or DevOps Engineer Professional certification
- Hands-on use of AI coding tools such as Claude Code or Codex
- Security engineering experience, including cloud security posture management, secrets management, vulnerability management, SAST, DAST, SCA, ISO 27001, SOC 2, or PCI DSS
- Experience in iGaming, sports betting, fintech, or another regulated high-transaction-volume domain
- Experience migrating off a third-party vendor platform
- Event-streaming infrastructure and database operations at scale, including Kafka or MSK
- Polish and/or Spanish language skills
