Position: Senior AWS DevOps Engineer

Experience: 10–12+ Years

Note: Night Shift (PST)

Notice Period : Immediate Joiner

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly experienced Senior AWS DevOps Engineer with deep, hands‑on expertise in AWS cloud infrastructure and DevOps practices.

The ideal candidate must possess strong core knowledge of AWS services—especially Amazon S3, be client‑facing, and capable of guiding technical teams, proposing architectural improvements, and owning production‑grade cloud environments.

This role requires both technical depth and excellent communication skills.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and manage scalable, secure, and highly available AWS infrastructure.
• Act as a technical point of contact for clients, handling requirement discussions, solution design, and technical clarifications.
• Lead and mentor DevOps engineers, providing technical guidance and best‑practice recommendations.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab, and Argo CD.
• Manage containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes (AWS EKS mandatory).
• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform (modules, remote state, best practices).
• Support cloud migration and modernization initiatives (on‑premises to AWS).
• Configure and manage monitoring, logging, and alerting systems.
• Handle production incidents, root cause analysis (RCA), and operational improvements.
• Ensure security, compliance, and cost optimization across AWS environments.

Mandatory AWS S3 Expertise (Non‑Negotiable)

• S3 architecture, durability, availability, and storage classes.
• Cross‑account access using IAM roles and bucket policies.
• Versioning (use cases, delete markers, recovery scenarios).
• Replication (CRR and SRR configurations and limitations).
• S3 Access Points (multi‑account and VPC‑restricted access).
• Pre‑signed URLs for secure object uploads and downloads
• Performance optimization
  • Multipart uploads
  • Prefix design and request parallelization
• Security best practices
  • SSE‑S3, SSE‑KMS
  • Public access blocking
  • Object ownership and access control
• Cost optimization
  • Lifecycle policies
  • Intelligent‑Tiering and archival strategies

The candidate should be able to explain real‑world use cases, troubleshooting scenarios, and design decisions, not just theoretical concepts.

Required Technical Skills

• Extensive hands‑on experience with AWS cloud services (EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, RDS, ELB, Lambda, EKS)
• Terraform (mandatory) – real‑world infrastructure automation experience
• Strong expertise in Kubernetes (EKS) and Docker
• CI/CD and GitOps best practices
• Linux system administration and scripting (Bash / Python)
• Strong understanding of cloud security and networking principles

Monitoring & Operations

• Experience with CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, New Relic, or Dynatrace
• Proven exposure to production support, incident management, and RCA
• Ability to work in on‑call or critical support scenarios when required

Communication & Client‑Facing Skills (Mandatory)

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to provide clear, concise, and well‑structured explanations
• Strong experience in client interactions, technical discussions, and architecture walkthroughs
• Confidence in presenting solutions and explaining trade‑offs to stakeholders

Nice to Have

• Kubernetes certifications (CKA / CKAD)
• DevSecOps experience
• Experience managing large‑scale, high‑availability production systems
