Position: DevOps Engineer (senior)

We’re looking for a Senior Dev Ops Engineer who can take ownership of our AWS infrastructure and make it reliable, predictable, and easy to operate. Our systems run on ECS/Fargate with CDK-managed and manually‑provisioned resources. Today, spinning up new environments is slow and error‑prone, and our networking setup is overly complex. We need someone who can stabilize what exists, simplify it where possible, and set the foundation for long‑term scalability.

This role is hands‑on: understanding our current state, reducing complexity, improving CI/CD, fixing networking pain points, and building proper visibility into production.

This is not about over‑engineering. We need someone who can make things reliable, secure, and easy to operate  you enjoy bringing order to complex cloud estates and making production environments secure, observable, and predictable, we’d love to hear from you.

Responsibilities
  • Understand and document the current AWS landscape (multi‑account, VPCs, networking, ECS /Fargate, CDK stacks, and the manually‑created pieces we rely on).
  • Untangle and simplify networking (VPCs, transit configuration, DNS, TLS/mTLS, routing issues, and environment‑to‑environment connectivity).
  • Standardize our infrastructure using CDK and remove manual snowflake resources where possible.
  • Fix CI/CD pipelines (Git Hub Actions), including environment‑specific workflows, deployment rules, secrets management, and automated promos.
  • Improve environment creation so new dev/stage/test environments can be brought up consistently and without manual chaos.
  • Harden AWS security (IAM, S3 policies, encryption, Cloud Trail, Security Hub, least privilege).
  • Improve observability with Cloud Watch: logs, metrics, alarms, dashboards, runbooks, and rollback strategies.
  • Support developers by ensuring ECS /Fargate deployments, Lambdas, and networking don’t get in their way.
  • Continuously optimize cost, performance, and resiliency—and keep documentation up to date.
