Job description

We are looking for a Senior Cloud/DevOps Engineer to design, build, and operate secure, scalable, and highly available platforms on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

This role combines cloud architecture, DevOps engineering, and production operations, with a strong focus on automation, reliability, and scalable delivery of enterprise applications.

The ideal candidate brings deep hands‑on expertise in AWS, Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, and cloud operations, and collaborates effectively with engineering, security, and business teams to deliver resilient and cost‑efficient solutions.

Roles & Responsibilities

Cloud Architecture & Platform Engineering

• Design and implement secure, scalable, and highly available AWS architectures for microservices, APIs, and enterprise systems.
• Translate functional and non‑functional requirements (availability, performance, DR, compliance, cost) into robust cloud architecture patterns.
• Define and maintain architecture artefacts (network topology, HA/DR models, scaling strategies).
• Standardize AWS service usage across compute, storage, networking, identity, observability, and security.

DevOps, CI/CD & Automation

• Build and manage CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or AWS native tools.
• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and/or CloudFormation.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning, deployments, and operational workflows.
• Drive DevOps/SRE best practices (automated testing, blue‑green/canary deployments, rollback strategies).

Cloud Operations, Reliability & Observability

• Operate and optimize AWS services (EC2, ECS/EKS, VPC, IAM, RDS, S3, etc.).
• Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting using CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, etc.
• Lead incident management, root cause analysis, and postmortems.
• Design and maintain backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity strategies.
• Drive cost optimization (FinOps) through right‑sizing and architectural improvements.

Security, Compliance & Governance

• Embed security‑by‑design principles across cloud architecture and pipelines.
• Implement IAM, network security, encryption, and secrets management aligned with AWS best practices.
• Contribute to cloud governance, policies, and standards.

Containerization & Platform Services (Nice to Have / Optional Section)

• Design and operate container platforms using ECS, EKS, or Kubernetes.
• Build and manage container image pipelines and registry systems.
• Implement runtime security and scaling strategies.

Stakeholder & Team Collaboration

• Partner with engineering, QA, security, and business teams to align solutions with goals.
• Provide technical leadership, mentoring, and best practice guidance.
• Identify opportunities to improve reliability, reduce operational overhead, and accelerate delivery.

Qualifications & Skills

Experience

• 7+ years in Cloud Engineering / DevOps / SRE roles, with strong AWS exposure.
• Proven experience in designing and operating production‑grade AWS environments.
• Experience in enterprise or regulated environments is a plus.

Technical Skills

• Strong expertise in AWS services: EC2, EKS/ECS, Lambda, RDS/Aurora, S3, VPC, IAM, CloudWatch.
• Hands‑on experience with Terraform and/or CloudFormation.
• Experience with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, AWS CodePipeline).
• Proficiency in Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
• Solid understanding of networking & cloud security.
• Experience with observability, backup, and disaster recovery.
• Exposure to Docker & Kubernetes is an advantage.

Professional Skills

• Strong problem‑solving and analytical thinking, especially in production environments.
• Excellent communication skills with technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Ability to work independently and in cross‑functional teams.

Education & Certifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline (required).
• AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate or equivalent AWS Associate‑level certification (mandatory).
• AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional and/or AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional (preferred).
