Job description

$145000 - $165000

A Senior DevOps Engineer/SOC will join a lean infrastructure team responsible for building and operating secure, highly automated cloud environments supporting security-conscious and regulated customers. You’ll have substantial ownership across AWS architecture, infrastructure automation, Python tooling, CI/CD, and Linux systems, with an emphasis on maintaining strong isolation and auditability across a large multi-account cloud footprint.

Terraform and Python sit at the heart of the environment, alongside GitHub Actions, configuration management, and modern identity and networking patterns. This role is particularly well suited to an experienced infrastructure engineer who enjoys working across both software and systems engineering while introducing automation that improves reliability at scale.

You’ll also have the opportunity to incorporate AI-assisted engineering workflows while helping establish secure patterns for emerging automation capabilities.

Required Skills & Experience

• Deep AWS experience spanning compute, networking, storage, security, and identity services such as EC2, VPC, S3, IAM, KMS, ECS, Route 53, and ACM, with experience in multi-account cloud architectures, cross-account access, and centralized connectivity or identity patterns.

• Advanced infrastructure-as-code experience using Terraform at significant scale, along with configuration management and CI/CD engineering using GitHub Actions, including secure cloud authentication patterns and self-hosted build infrastructure.

• Experience designing infrastructure for regulated or security-sensitive environments where tenant isolation, traceability, and auditable controls are critical, including familiarity with frameworks such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001.

Desired Skills & Experience

• Experience using AI coding agents as part of engineering workflows, with an understanding of the security considerations involved in exposing infrastructure, tools, or services to agent-driven automation.

• Additional experience with Go, automated machine or cloud image creation, modern data platforms such as Snowflake or Delta Lake, or enterprise analytics administration.

Daily Responsibilities

• Hands-On Engineering: 75%

• Team Collaboration & Cross-Functional Work: 25%
