• Help evolve development guidelines, practices, and principles for a world where service development and delivery are moving faster than ever.
• Design, build, and maintain immutable infrastructure workflows using Terraform, Packer, Puppet, and other CI/CD tools across AWS environments.
• Implement, improve, and support DevOps tools for software configuration management, build, deploy, continuous integration, automated testing, and automated self‑service release management.
• Manage, maintain, and improve automated code deployment practices.
• Administer and maintain version control software and code repository.
• Define, manage, and respond to data‑driven metrics for continuous improvement.
• Work closely with the development team to develop best practices and processes around coding, code management, code quality, code architecture, and code branching strategies.
• Work closely with Operations, QA, and Development teams to define and maintain requirements and procedural documentation for production platforms and services.
• Evaluate emerging build/deploy technologies and tools including cloud‑based development.

Technical Qualifications

• 4+ years of hands‑on experience with applicable products and tools and demonstration of working knowledge of:
• Operating AWS‑native services at scale, including compute, networking, identity, storage, monitoring, and container platforms (e.g., EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, RDS, ELB/ALB, CloudWatch, EKS, ECS).
• Production experience with Terraform for infrastructure provisioning, including modules, state management, environment promotion, and code review practices.
• Building and maintaining machine images with Packer for repeatable, secure baseline builds.
• Hands‑on Puppet experience in Linux environments, including catalog management, roles/profiles, or equivalent patterns, and idempotent resource management.
• Installation, configuration, patching, and troubleshooting of Ubuntu and other enterprise Linux distributions at scale in production.
• Automation through scripting languages such as Bash and/or Python for operational tasks beyond configuration management and infrastructure as code tools.
• Experience with Git repositories such as GitHub and Git‑based continuous integration/delivery processes and tools (e.g., GitHub Actions).
• Docker container‑based infrastructure technologies and tools such as service discovery (etcd, Consul), service meshes (Istio, Envoy), and schedulers (Kubernetes, ECS).
• Highly available and secure systems/environments, including least‑privilege access, secrets handling, and secure deployment patterns.

Additional Desirable Experience and Skills

• Big data technologies (Elasticsearch, Kafka, etc.).
• Networking concepts (routes, subnets, ports, firewalls, security groups/NACLs, etc.) and tools.
• Security concepts and tools.
• Performance monitoring and log management systems (CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch stack, etc.).
• Ansible or CloudFormation experience alongside the primary infrastructure toolchain.
• Azure or other public cloud platforms as secondary exposure.
• Migration and modernization of legacy deployment patterns.

General Skills

• A passion for uptime, security, and operational excellence.
• Strong understanding of the software development life cycle.
