The role involves working closely with engineering, data, and product teams to ensure systems are secure, reliable, and scalable, while also improving infrastructure processes.

Responsibilities:

• Architect and manage scalable, secure, and highly available cloud infrastructure primarily within Amazon Web Services (AWS), including EC2, RDS, S3, VPC, and IAM
• Lead the implementation and maintenance of infrastructure using Terraform or similar tools, ensuring all environments are version-controlled and reproducible
• Develop and maintain automation scripts (Python, Bash, or Go) to eliminate manual tasks and improve operational efficiency
• Manage and optimize containerized application environments using Docker and orchestration platforms (e.g., Kubernetes or AWS ECS)
• Design and support robust Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines to automate application releases and reduce deployment risk
• Implement and manage modern observability frameworks (logging, metrics, and tracing) to proactively monitor system health and performance
• Monitor system capacity and performance, performing right-sizing exercises and scaling configurations to meet business growth
• Enforce infrastructure security best practices, including access control (Least Privilege), network hardening, and automated vulnerability scanning
• Partner with leadership to monitor cloud spend and implement cost-optimization strategies
• Troubleshoot complex infrastructure-related issues and participate in a blameless post-mortem culture to prevent recurrence
• Maintain high-quality technical documentation for infrastructure designs, standard operating procedures, and disaster recovery plans
• Participate in an on-call rotation to ensure the 24/7 reliability of production systems
• Other duties as assigned

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field preferred. Equivalent practical experience may be considered
• 3–5 years of experience in infrastructure engineering, DevOps, systems engineering, or related technology roles
• Proven experience managing production-grade AWS environments
• Strong hands-on experience with Terraform (module development and state management)
• Experience managing Linux-based systems at scale (Ubuntu, Amazon Linux, or RHEL)
• Direct experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins)
• Deep understanding of AWS networking (VPC, Peering, Transit Gateways) and security groups
• Proficiency in Docker; experience with Kubernetes (EKS) is highly desirable
• Proficiency in at least one scripting language (Python preferred)
• Expert knowledge of Git-based workflows
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex, distributed systems
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• Experience with Serverless architectures (AWS Lambda, Fargate)
• AWS Certified Solutions Architect or SysOps Administrator certification
• Experience with Data Infrastructure (managing Snowflake, Redshift, or Kafka clusters)
• Familiarity with container orchestration technologies such as Kubernetes or ECS
