Working Hours: U.S. Client Business Hours (with flexibility for deployments, incident response, and on-call rotations)
Our client is seeking a highly skilled DevOps Engineer to build, maintain, and optimize cloud infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and system reliability across production environments.
This role requires deep expertise in cloud platforms, automation, CI/CD, container orchestration, monitoring, and infrastructure security. The DevOps Engineer will play a critical role in ensuring systems remain scalable, secure, resilient, and highly available while enabling development teams to ship code efficiently and safely.
The ideal candidate is proactive, automation-driven, calm under pressure, and passionate about improving infrastructure reliability and operational efficiency.
- Provision, configure, and maintain infrastructure on AWS, GCP, or Azure cloud platforms
- Implement Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) using Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation
- Configure networking, compute, storage, IAM, and cloud security policies
- Optimize infrastructure performance, scalability, and cost efficiency
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or CircleCI
- Automate build, testing, deployment, and rollback workflows across environments
- Ensure zero-downtime deployments and reliable release processes
- Improve deployment speed, consistency, and operational reliability
- Manage Docker containers and Kubernetes clusters for microservices deployment
- Monitor cluster health, resource allocation, and workload performance
- Optimize orchestration strategies for scalability and reliability
- Troubleshoot container and deployment-related issues across environments
- Implement observability and monitoring solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or New Relic
- Configure centralized logging and alerting pipelines using ELK Stack, Splunk, or similar tools
- Participate in incident response and on-call rotations
- Perform root cause analysis (RCA) and implement preventive solutions post-incident
- Apply infrastructure security best practices including IAM, encryption, secrets management, and least-privilege access
- Support compliance requirements such as SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or GDPR where applicable
- Conduct vulnerability scans, patch management, and security hardening activities
- Ensure infrastructure remains secure, compliant, and audit-ready
- Partner closely with development teams to improve deployment workflows and automation
- Support developers with infrastructure troubleshooting and environment management
- Identify opportunities to improve reliability, scalability, and operational efficiency
- Maintain clear documentation for infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and operational procedures
- Strong problem solver who thrives at the intersection of development and operations
- Calm, analytical, and methodical during incidents and high-pressure situations
- Passionate about automation, infrastructure scalability, and reliability engineering
- Strong communicator who collaborates effectively across technical teams
- Proactive mindset focused on preventing issues before they impact production
- 3+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or Infrastructure Engineering
- Proficiency with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
- Strong experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines
- Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes
- Infrastructure-as-Code expertise with Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation
- Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or New Relic
- Scripting experience with Python, Bash, or similar languages
- Strong understanding of cloud security best practices and infrastructure reliability
- Experience with microservices and distributed systems
- Familiarity with serverless technologies (AWS Lambda, Cloud Functions)
- Experience managing production-grade Kubernetes environments
- Cloud certifications such as AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, CKA, or equivalent
- Background supporting SaaS, fintech, healthcare, or enterprise applications
A DevOps Engineer’s day revolves around keeping systems secure, automated, scalable, and reliable. You will:
