Role Overview
We are looking for a strong, hands-on, highly motivated Senior DevOps Engineer to design, build, secure, and operate the cloud platform that powers the Service Layer (SL-QTC) ecosystem supporting Quote-to-Cash (QTC), customer lifecycle, and enterprise integration workloads. You will be responsible for building and operating a cloud-native, event-driven platform based on AWS, Kafka/MSK, serverless technologies, databases, observability platforms, and DevSecOps toolchains. You will work closely with Engineering, Architecture, Security, and Product teams to ensure the platform is reliable, scalable, secure, cost-efficient, and operationally resilient. The ideal candidate combines strong expertise in AWS, Infrastructure-as-Code, CI/CD, networking, cloud security, observability, and platform engineering with experience supporting mission-critical distributed systems at scale.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain AWS cloud infrastructure supporting highly available event-driven workloads based on Kafka, serverless services, databases, APIs, and enterprise integrations.
- Design and implement Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) solutions using Terraform and automation frameworks to enable repeatable, scalable, and secure platform provisioning.
- Build and maintain secure CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, release strategies, automated testing, and environment management practices.
- Design, implement, and manage AWS networking architecture, including VPCs, subnets, route tables, NAT Gateways, Transit Gateway, PrivateLink, security groups, and hybrid connectivity.
- Design and manage application ingress, traffic routing, and content delivery using Route53, API Gateway, Application Load Balancers (ALB), Network Load Balancers (NLB), and CloudFront.
- Implement and maintain cloud security controls using AWS WAF, AWS Shield, IAM, encryption, secrets management, vulnerability management, audit logging, and compliance frameworks.
- Configure and support enterprise identity and access management integrations using Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), SAML, OAuth2, OpenID Connect (OIDC), and Single Sign-On (SSO).
- Implement and manage observability solutions, including monitoring, centralized logging, tracing, alerting, dashboarding, and operational analytics.
- Support Kafka/MSK platform operations, including topic management, access controls, capacity planning, monitoring, scaling, and disaster recovery.
- Partner with Engineering teams to improve platform reliability, scalability, security, performance, and operational supportability.
- Drive DevSecOps practices through integration of security scanning, policy enforcement, infrastructure validation, container security, dependency management, and compliance checks within CI/CD pipelines.
- Perform platform performance tuning, capacity planning, backup and recovery validation, disaster recovery testing, and business continuity readiness activities.
- Drive FinOps initiatives by monitoring cloud consumption, optimizing resource utilization, improving cost efficiency, and implementing governance controls.
- Troubleshoot production issues, perform root cause analysis, and drive corrective and preventive actions for business-critical systems.
- Contribute to platform standards, operational runbooks, automation initiatives, engineering best practices, and continuous improvement programs.
Must Have Skills
