• continuously evaluating and optimizing aws environments to ensure performance, availability, scalability, cost efficiency, and operational stability;
• designing, building, and maintaining ci/cd pipelines using github actions, aws code pipeline, or jenkins, including integration of automated testing, security scanning, and compliance checks (e.g., orca security or similar tools);
• leveraging automation and ai-based tools to strengthen the efficiency and intelligence of ci/cd and devops processes;
• implementing security best practices across identity and access management, network architecture, encryption, monitoring, logging, and incident response in coordination with the information security team;
• supporting vulnerability management, incident response, remediation, and follow‑up to ensure secure and compliant cloud operations;
• setting up and maintaining monitoring, logging, alerting, and siem integrations using platforms such as aws cloud watch, logicmonitor, splunk, or orca security;

**** critical note: this is not a traditional devops cloud engineer and traditional devops cloud engineers should not invest time in applying. The requirements for consideration are shared specifically below this critical note, and to provide important and essential insight for you to be considered, the following is being shared:

all applicants must have hands‑on experience at some point in their professional work experience foundational or traditional it infrastructure skills—not cloud based (e.g., actual non‑cloud based system administration, network engineering/administration, firewalls/security) with background/experience in building/administering/engineering/supporting/operating either on‑premises or hybrid it infrastructures, who grew into more of the devops space, would be highly preferred versus a pure cloud‑only person.

a completed and verifiable bachelor’s degree in computer science, information systems, or a related stem field is required. This is an absolute must.

must have 3 years of work experience as a network engineer, systems administrator, or infrastructure engineer with non‑cloud traditional technologies prior to moving into cloud technologies to include devops best practices, cloud automation, etc. This is an absolute must.

your employment track record: changing jobs every 1‑2 years as a consultant or full‑time employee is not a career track record we will consider. This is an absolute must.

ai‑generated resumes and applications created using ai tools or services will be automatically removed from consideration.

5 years of overall experience is a minimum requirement and you must have strong, hands‑on expertise with aws compute, storage, networking, database, serverless, and security services, including ec2, lambda, s3, rds, cloud formation, vpc, iam, and container services…
