Job Description & How to Apply Below
We are looking for a Senior Dev Ops Engineer with deep AWS expertise to help scale and optimize our infrastructure and deployment processes. This is not a basic infrastructure role — we need someone who can architect robust systems, drive automation, optimize cloud costs, and lead the organization toward zero-downtime deployments.
A key focus of this role is improving engineering performance, with Lead Time to Change as the #1 delivery metric.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect, implement, and manage production-grade AWS environments.
- Develop and maintain infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC):
Terraform, Pulumi, AWS Cloud Formation, AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit) - Design and optimize CI/CD pipelines (Git Hub Actions preferred).
- Implement deployment strategies that enable minimal to zero downtime.
- Drive cloud cost management and optimization initiatives.
- Build and enhance automated testing frameworks and QA automation within the CI/CD lifecycle.
- Improve reliability, scalability, observability, and system performance.
- Partner with engineering teams to reduce lead time to change and increase deployment frequency.
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of Dev Ops or platform engineering experience.
- Strong hands-on AWS experience in production environments.
- Advanced experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, Cloud Formation, AWS CDK).
- Experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines (Git Hub Actions preferred).
- Experience with automated testing frameworks and QA automation.
- Proven ability to optimize cloud costs and improve infrastructure efficiency.
- Strong understanding of reliability engineering and high-availability systems.
Preferred Qualifications
- AWS Certifications (Solutions Architect, Dev Ops Engineer, etc.) — preferred but not required.
- Experience working with DORA metrics.
- Experience supporting high-growth or high-scale environments.
What Success Looks Like
- Reduced lead time to change.
- Fully automated, reliable CI/CD pipelines.
- Cost-efficient and scalable AWS infrastructure.
- Increased deployment frequency with high system reliability.
