- Architect and operate AWS-based infrastructure with a focus on automation, security, scalability, and cost optimization, leveraging best practices for multi-account, multi-region setups.
- Lead GitOps adoption by implementing continuous deployment patterns, declarative configuration management, and automated reconciliation using ArgoCD
- Build and extend the Internal Developer Portal (IDP) — such as Backstage — to improve developer experience, service onboarding, and self-service infrastructure provisioning.
- Collaborate closely with application development, architecture, and platform engineering teams to integrate DevOps best practices throughout the application lifecycle.
- Implement observability frameworks including monitoring, alerting, logging, and tracing to ensure the reliability and performance of all environments (e.g., OpenSearch, New Relic, CloudWatch).
- Drive automation across infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, and deployment workflows
- Support and optimize containerized and serverless workloads using Kubernetes (EKS), Docker, and AWS Lambda, ensuring high availability and efficient resource utilization.
- Participate in architecture and design reviews, contributing DevOps and cloud automation perspectives
- Champion CI/CD platform, self-service, reusability, consistency, security, policies and compliance automation
- Mentor engineers and contribute to platform documentation to promote best practices in CI/CD, GitOps, and cloud automation across teams.
What You'll Need
- 5+ years of experience designing and implementing cloud-native architectures and DevOps automation solutions at scale.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
- Expert-level experience (5+ years) building and maintaining scalable CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions or similar tools, including multi-environment deployment automation, release governance, and rollback workflows.
- Deep hands-on expertise in Kubernetes and Amazon EKS, including cluster provisioning, scaling strategies, workload orchestration, Helm, and manifest management.
- Strong experience with Docker and containerized application lifecycle management across Dev, Stage, and Prod environments.
- Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform (preferred), AWS CDK, or CloudFormation, with emphasis on reusable modules, versioning, and environment consistency.
- Advanced AWS proficiency, including EC2, S3, RDS, IAM, VPC, Lambda, CloudFormation, and related networking, monitoring, and security components.
- Proven experience implementing GitOps practices using tools like ArgoCD or Flux, supporting automated, declarative deployments and continuous reconciliation.
- Experience with Internal Developer Portals (IDP) such as Backstage, Humanitec, or Port, to streamline developer onboarding, service catalogs, and self-service infrastructure provisioning.
- Strong scripting and automation skills (Terraform, Python, Bash, or Go) for building internal tooling, automation pipelines, and platform integrations.
- Knowledge of observability tools and practices, including metrics, tracing, and logging solutions (e.g., CloudWatch, OpenSearch, New Relic, Datadog).
- Understanding of security and compliance frameworks (HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2) and how to integrate them into CI/CD and cloud automation pipelines.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally with Architecture, SRE, Platform, and Engineering teams to drive adoption of modern DevOps and platform engineering practices.
- The base salary range for this position is $168K to $175K/year. Offered salary will be determined by several factors, including but not limited to: applicant’s education, experience, knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as internal equity and alignment with geographic market data.
