• Contribute to architectural decisions that support scalable, secure, and maintainable systems, including the use of AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS).
• Identify and implement performance improvements and workflow enhancements.
• Optimize AWS infrastructure using tools like Terraform and Terragrunt to balance performance, cost-efficiency, and maintainability.

Quality Assurance and Testing:

• Work closely with QA to ensure robust testing strategies, including automated testing where appropriate.
• Support the adoption of a “shift-left” testing approach by addressing quality early in the development cycle.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues in production environments, ensuring minimal downtime and optimal system performance.

Collaboration and Agile Practices:

• Participate in Agile development processes, including sprint planning, standups, and retrospectives.
• Partner with other team members to own DevOps role responsibilities, to help maintain and enhance CI/CD infrastructure as code pipelines using tools like Jenkins and Argo CD for automated deployments.

Key Qualifications:

• Expertise in DevOps practices, including CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, ArgoCD), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and infrastructure as code (Terraform, Terragrunt).
• Strong debugging, problem-solving, and performance optimization skills, with a proven ability to troubleshoot complex production environments.
• 5+ years of experience in software engineering.
• Proven experience building and scaling SaaS products on AWS, including leveraging service-based architectures and AWS EKS.
• Hands-on experience with Agile development methodologies and tools such as Jira.
• Familiarity with Redis, Mongo, and Elastic Search
• Strong debugging, problem-solving, and performance optimization skills.
• US Citizenship is required

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with data-intensive platforms or workflows.
