Cloud System Engineer III – AWS DevSecOps & GitLab CI​/CD

The remote
Cloud System Engineer III – AWS Dev Sec Ops  & Git Lab CI/CD will serve as a senior, hands‑on cloud engineer responsible for designing, building, securing, and optimizing CI/CD capabilities within a modern AWS environment in a remote work arrangement.

This role combines deep AWS engineering expertise with advanced Git, Git Lab CI/CD, automation, and Dev Sec Ops  experience. The successful candidate will architect reusable delivery pipelines, manage Git Lab runners and repository workflows, automate cloud deployments, integrate security controls into the software delivery lifecycle, and help engineering teams adopt consistent cloud‑native development practices.

The ideal candidate is not simply a CI/CD administrator. You should be comfortable working deeply within AWS, troubleshooting cloud infrastructure and deployment issues, designing secure delivery patterns, and using Git and Git Lab as core components of enterprise software engineering.

Success in this role means creating secure, scalable, and reliable delivery platforms that allow engineering teams to build, test, and deploy applications into AWS quickly and consistently while maintaining strong security, governance, and operational standards.

The Cloud System Engineer III will provide senior technical leadership for AWS‑based Dev Sec Ops  and Git Lab CI/CD engineering, supporting secure application development and automated cloud deployment.

Responsibilities include:

• Architect, build, maintain, and optimize enterprise Git Lab CI/CD pipelines supporting application build, testing, security validation, and deployment into AWS.
• Serve as a senior technical resource for AWS cloud engineering, CI/CD architecture, Git Lab, Git workflows, and automated deployment practices.
• Design standardized, reusable Git Lab pipeline templates, modules, and deployment patterns that can be adopted across multiple applications and engineering teams.
• Configure, manage, scale, and troubleshoot Git Lab runners and supporting infrastructure.
• Design and maintain Git‑based software‑development workflows, including repository structure, branching strategies, merge requests, code‑review practices, protected branches, and release processes.
• Integrate Git Lab CI/CD with AWS services such as EC2, ECS, EKS, Lambda, S3, IAM, and related cloud services.
• Design secure AWS deployment architectures incorporating IAM, networking, access controls, secrets management, and cloud security best practices.
• Automate cloud infrastructure and application deployments using Terraform, AWS Cloud Formation, or comparable Infrastructure as Code technologies.
• Implement automated testing, quality gates, security scanning, vulnerability detection, artifact management, and other Dev Sec Ops  controls throughout the CI/CD lifecycle.
• Support containerized application deployments using Docker, Kubernetes, Amazon ECS, and/or Amazon EKS.
• Troubleshoot complex AWS, Git Lab, Git, pipeline, runner, infrastructure, networking, IAM, and application deployment issues.
• Identify performance bottlenecks and reliability issues within pipelines and cloud deployment workflows and implement improvements.
• Partner with developers, cloud engineers, security teams, architects, and other stakeholders to establish scalable engineering and deployment standards.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineering teams using Git Lab, Git, AWS, Infrastructure as Code, and modern Dev Sec Ops  practices.
• Establish technical standards, documentation, operational procedures, and reusable engineering patterns.
• Evaluate technical requirements, identify risks, and recommend appropriate AWS architecture and deployment approaches.
• Develop tools and automation that improve developer productivity,…
