Job description

Company

Hypori, Inc. is a high‑growth cybersecurity SaaS company transforming how organizations think about secure mobility. Our virtual workspace platform enables users to access enterprise apps and data from any mobile device—without data stored on the device and with total personal privacy.

Overview

Hypori is seeking a Senior Cloud Ops Engineer to architect, build, and evolve the secure, scalable cloud infrastructure that powers our SaaS platform. This senior technical leadership role blends deep hands‑on cloud operations expertise with architectural judgment to define how the platform scales, secures, and recovers across AWS and AWS GovCloud environments.

Responsibilities

• Own the architecture and operation of secure, scalable, highly available AWS and AWS GovCloud infrastructure supporting the Hypori SaaS platform end to end.
• Set the technical direction for Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, OpenTofu, CloudFormation), establishing organization‑wide standards, reusable modules, and governance patterns.
• Drive engineering tasks for platform reliability, scalability, and capacity; help define SLA/SLO targets.
• Lead the end‑to‑end observability strategy—monitoring, logging, alerting, telemetry—across Datadog, Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK.
• Serve as incident commander for high‑severity production events; drive root‑cause analysis and lead systemic, multi‑phase remediation.
• Design and implement CI/CD platforms and deployment automation (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, AWS Code Pipeline).
• Lead the operation and evolution of containerized workloads on Kubernetes and Docker, making orchestration and scaling trade‑off calls for the platform.
• Proactively identify architectural scalability and performance bottlenecks before they become incidents, and design the systems that eliminate them.
• Partner directly with Security and Compliance leadership to implement secure‑by‑design infrastructure supporting FedRAMP, DoD IL5, and SOC 2 Type 2 requirements.
• Participate in owning disaster recovery and business continuity—design, test, and continuously validate RTO/RPO targets.
• Identify and develop solutions for cloud cost optimization as a discipline, not a cleanup task.
• Mentor engineers, lead design reviews, and shape the technical standards the broader team is measured against.
• Lead cross‑team resolution of systemic operational issues, delivering road‑mapped improvements with measurable impact.
• Represent Hypori in technical conversations with external cloud and infrastructure vendors, holding them to performance, reliability, and security commitments.
• Participate in a 24/7 on‑call rotation.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent hands‑on experience in cloud infrastructure, SRE, or systems engineering.
• 8+ years in Cloud Ops, SRE, DevOps, or Infrastructure Engineering, with a demonstrated track record of progression into senior/architectural ownership.
• Deep AWS expertise (EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, EBS, EFS, Route 53, CloudWatch); AWS GovCloud experience strongly preferred.
• Proven experience designing multi‑account AWS environments and landing zone frameworks (e.g., AWS LZA).
• Expert‑level Infrastructure as Code (Terraform and/or CloudFormation), with a track record of building reusable modules and organization‑wide standards.
• Production‑grade Kubernetes and Docker experience, with judgment to make orchestration and architectural trade‑offs.
• CI/CD architecture experience (GitHub Actions, Jenkins), with fluency in modern deployment strategies.
• Track record operating high‑availability SaaS platforms under strict security, reliability, and uptime SLAs.
• Advanced observability and incident management experience (Datadog, Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK).
• Demonstrated incident command experience—leading high‑severity incidents from detection through resolution and systemic RCA.
• Experience operating in regulated environments (FedRAMP, DoD IL4/IL5, SOC 2 Type 2), with working knowledge of NIST 800‑53.
• Strong grounding in cloud security, compliance, and resilient architecture design.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor senior and mid‑level engineers and set technical direction beyond individual work.
• Fluency in Git‑based workflows and modern development/deployment practices.
• Preferred certifications: AWS Solutions Architect Associate (or higher), AWS CloudFormation, AWS Lambda, AWS CodePipeline.
• Common Access Card (CAC) eligible under DoD 8140.

Personal Qualifications

• A strategic, hands‑on operator who can independently own ambiguous, high‑stakes infrastructure problems and turn them into scalable, durable solutions.
• Sharp architectural judgment—able to weigh trade‑offs, make sound calls under uncertainty, and defend those decisions to both engineers and leadership.
• Calm, decisive, and clear‑headed under pressure; a natural incident commander others look to during high‑severity events.
• A strong communicator who moves easily between engineering, security, and executive conversations, and who elevates the people around them.
• Deep sense of ownership and accountability—treats reliability, automation, and operational excellence as personal standards.
• Genuinely energized by hard infrastructure problems and staying ahead of the cloud landscape.
• Willing to serve as a escalation resource in a 24/7 on‑call rotation.
