Job summary

Alchemy Cloud Inc. is seeking a senior DevOps/SRE for a remote-friendly, hybrid role to operate and modernize our cloud platform.

You will expand Terraform coverage, maintain CloudFormation, and own CI/CD pipelines across AWS ECS/Fargate and Aurora MySQL in multiple regions. In this hands-on role, you’ll manage on-call incidents, improve observability, reduce cloud costs, and produce security and compliance documentation.

Qualifications

• Terraform — modules, state, multi-environment and multi-region layout, and specifically import, state mv/rm, targeted applies, and diagnosing drift on infrastructure you did not create.
• AWS depth, not breadth — VPC and networking (peering, NAT, security groups, NACLs), IAM, ECS/Fargate, Aurora MySQL including Serverless v2, ALB/NLB, S3, Secrets Manager and SSM, CloudWatch, Lambda, Batch.
• CloudFormation you can author and deploy, not only read — legacy templates are still load-bearing here and will be for a while.
• CI/CD ownership — GitHub Actions and Jenkins, building and maintaining pipelines rather than consuming them.
• Bash and Python for automation, tooling and operational glue.
• Aurora MySQL operations — sizing and scaling, snapshots, clones and restores, failover; connection and pool behaviour; and reading a slow query. The application’s schema is not yours to own.
• Incident discipline — scope by time window, form a hypothesis, prepare a rollback before you touch anything, write up what happened.
• Cost awareness as an engineering skill, not a finance report.
• AI-assisted engineering - Practical experience using coding agents, writing clear guidance for them and building automated checks around their output. Sound engineering judgment and human review of production changes are essential.
• Clear written English and the habit of documenting so someone else can operate it. Strongly preferred
• Multi-region operations (EU + US) and data-residency awareness.
• Experience with AWS GovCloud or other regulated cloud environments, including controlled access and operational requirements.
• Deploying a product into a customer’s own cloud account, and writing the documents their security review consumes.
• PR-based infrastructure change and review culture — plan output read as evidence, not as a formality.
• SSO/OIDC, CloudFront behaviour and debugging.
• Vulnerability patching at image and dependency level (ECR, Trivy, Scout, Dependabot or equivalents).
• ISO 27001 / SOC 2 exposure from the engineering side. Nice to have
• AWS certifications (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer Professional).
• Azure or GCP exposure.
• Java / Spring Boot familiarity, enough to read the application and reason about deployment behaviour.
• WAF and edge security, EKS/Kubernetes, Datadog or Grafana-stack experience are signals of range, not requirements.

Responsibilities

• Expand and maintain Terraform coverage, safely bring existing resources under code management, diagnose configuration drift and maintain CloudFormation infrastructure as it is progressively modernized.
• Own and improve GitHub Actions and Jenkins pipelines, environment automation and regular releases across our cloud environments.
• Monitor and troubleshoot application infrastructure, databases, containers and networking. Handle incidents, improve observability and take substantial on-call responsibility as part of a small team.
• Improve cloud efficiency through right-sizing, capacity planning, resource lifecycle management and cost visibility.
• Support deployments into customer-managed AWS environments and produce clear technical documentation for customer infrastructure and security teams.
• Remediate infrastructure and dependency vulnerabilities, strengthen platform security and support audit evidence and compliance requirements.
• Build and improve tools for environment management, deployments and operational visibility. Java or Vue expertise is not required, but practical automation and tool-building skills are essential.
