Solvd Inc. is a rapidly growing AI-native consulting and technology services firm delivering enterprise transformation across cloud, data, software engineering, and artificial intelligence. We work with industry-leading organizations to design, build, and operationalize technology solutions that drive measurable business outcomes.
Following the acquisition of Tooploox, a premier AI and product development company, Solvd now offers true end-to-end delivery—from strategic advisory and solution design to custom AI development and enterprise-scale implementation. Our capability centers combine deep technical expertise, proven delivery methodologies, and sector-specific knowledge to address complex business challenges quickly and effectively.
We are looking for an experienced Cloud / DevOps Engineer to join an ongoing infrastructure modernization engagement. You'll be working across a production AWS environment — upgrading core infrastructure components, hardening security, reducing cloud spend, and cleaning up accumulated technical debt. The work is hands-on and spans Kubernetes, databases, observability, and IaC.
This is a great fit if you're comfortable operating independently in a live environment, have strong AWS fundamentals, and take pride in leaving infrastructure cleaner than you found it.
What you'll do
Upgrades & Maintenance
Upgrade Kubernetes clusters to a current, supported version across all environments.
Upgrade Teleport to the latest version — validate bastion/emergency EC2 access before and after cutover.
Upgrade Redis and PostgreSQL (target: 16.x) across all relevant environments.
Upgrade DevOps repositories (Terraform, Lambda, and related tooling) across multiple repos.
Infrastructure & Reliability
Ensure bastion EC2 instances provide reliable DB access as a fallback when Teleport is unavailable.
Sync and standardize Karpenter configuration across all clusters for consistent cost optimization.
Correct Kubernetes internal IP ranges from public (192.171/16) to private (192.168/16).
Observability & Hygiene
Assess and implement NewRelic agent upgrade strategy on Kubernetes (manual vs. app-version-driven).
Deprecate unused AWS resources — security groups, EC2 instances, IAM users, and related artifacts.
What you bring
4+ years of hands-on experience with AWS infrastructure in production environments.
Strong working knowledge of Kubernetes — cluster operations, networking, and upgrades.
Experience with Terraform and infrastructure-as-code practices.
Experience with Teleport or similar zero-trust access tooling.
Familiarity with Karpenter or other Kubernetes autoscaling solutions.
Experience upgrading managed or self-hosted PostgreSQL and Redis in AWS.
Exposure to NewRelic or similar APM/observability platforms.
Comfort working across mixed IaC codebases (Terraform, Lambda, SAM).
When you join Solvd, you'll…
Shape real-world AI-driven projects across key industries, working with clients from startup innovation to enterprise transformation.
Be part of a global team with equal opportunities for collaboration across continents and cultures.
Thrive in an inclusive environment that prioritizes continuous learning, innovation, and ethical AI standards.
