DevOps Engineer

Position Description:

We’re seeking a DevOps Engineer to own our cloud infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and site reliability. You’ll architect AWS environments, automate everything with Terraform and Ansible, and ensure our services maintain 99.99% uptime. Our stack is heavily automated: Terraform for IaC, GitHub Actions for CI/CD, Kubernetes for orchestration, and extensive monitoring with Datadog. You’ll build the platform that enables our engineering teams to ship fast and confidently.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement AWS infrastructure using Terraform, CloudFormation, and AWS CDK
• Manage Kubernetes clusters (EKS) with GitOps using ArgoCD or Flux
• Build CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or CircleCI for automated deployments
• Implement observability: logging (ELK), metrics (Prometheus/CloudWatch), tracing (Jaeger/X-Ray)
• Automate provisioning, scaling, and disaster recovery across multi-region deployments
• Configure service mesh (Istio/Linkerd) for traffic management, security, and observability
• Manage secrets with HashiCorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager; implement security best practices
• Conduct incident response, write postmortems, and drive reliability improvements
• Optimize cloud costs through rightsizing, reserved instances, and spot instances

Qualifications:

• 4+ years of DevOps/SRE experience with AWS or GCP in production environments
• Strong Linux systems knowledge; troubleshooting from kernel to application layer
• Expertise with container technologies: Docker, Kubernetes, and container orchestration patterns
• Infrastructure-as-Code proficiency: Terraform (preferred), CloudFormation, or Pulumi
• Scripting skills: Python, Bash, or Go for automation and tooling
• Experience with configuration management: Ansible, Chef, or Puppet
• Deep understanding of networking: VPC, load balancers, DNS, TLS, and service discovery
• Security mindset: IAM policies, VPC peering, WAF, and compliance (SOC2, HIPAA)
• Bachelor’s in CS/IT or equivalent; AWS/GCP professional certification is a plus
