Cloud Dev Ops 4 BELONG. CONNECT. GROW. with K .

Lead the modernization and migration of legacy applications to cloud‑native architectures—primarily on AWS—while building and operating secure, scalable, and cost‑effective platforms. This hands‑on technical role includes ownership of automation (IaC, CI/CD), container platforms, observability, compliance guardrails, and developer enablement. Partner closely with Enterprise/Solutions Architecture to set cloud adoption roadmaps, governance, and standards that drive business outcomes.

• Cloud Modernization & Architecture
  • Lead migration and modernization of mission‑critical legacy applications to AWS, establishing cloud‑first patterns that maximize scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency.
  • Define and enforce platform governance, security, and performance standards with Enterprise/Solutions Architecture and application teams.
  • Translate business needs into secure, efficient, cloud‑native solutions and drive transformation projects from concept through completion.
• Dev Ops Engineering & Automation
  • Design, develop, and operate AWS environments using Terraform, AWS CDK/Cloud Formation; build reusable modules, manage state, and enforce standards.
  • Automate provisioning, monitoring, auditing, and de‑provisioning using Ansible and scripting in Python, Bash/Shell, or Power Shell.
  • Engineer solutions leveraging S3, Cloud Front, EKS, Lambda, Aurora Serverless, and AWS Batch as appropriate for product needs.
  • Own CI/CD using Git Lab and Git Lab Runners; implement staged deployments (blue/green, canary) and automated rollbacks; maintain branch strategies, approvals, environment promotion, and artifact management.
• Security, Compliance & Governance
  • Develop and operate platforms in accordance with FedRAMP and FISMA standards, incorporating AWS security controls into infrastructure, deployment pipelines, monitoring, and daily operations.
  • Establish robust guardrails for identity management, secret protection, logging, auditing, and change control to meet compliance requirements.
  • Collaborate with security leadership and auditors to ensure ongoing compliance, efficient evidence collection, and thorough mapping of all controls.
• Observability, Reliability & Operations
  • Develop tooling for monitoring, logging, and alerting; create runbooks and lead troubleshooting and incident response for core business applications.
  • Partner with architects/engineers to design networks, systems, and storage that meet security requirements and SLO/SLAs.
  • Drive resilience through autoscaling, health checks, fault isolation, and disaster recovery strategies.
• Fin Ops & Cost Optimization
  • Apply Fin Ops principles—tagging standards, show back/chargeback readiness, rightsizing, commitment management—to maintain performance and reduce waste.
  • Present cost‑saving recommendations and maintain dashboards for spend visibility and anomaly detection.
• AI‑Augmented Engineering (Generative AI)
  • Leverage Generative AI tools and agents to increase developer productivity, reduce toil, accelerate documentation, and improve incident response playbooks.
  • Design guardrails for responsible AI use and track outcomes such as cycle‑time reduction and fewer manual steps.
• Leadership & Collaboration
  • Mentor junior engineers and foster continuous learning across cross‑functional teams.
  • Align modernization decisions with business outcomes, communicating trade‑offs and technical risks clearly to stakeholders and senior leadership.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field.
• 10+ years progressive experience in cloud engineering/Dev Ops/enterprise architecture with a strong AWS emphasis.
• 5+ years implementing Dev Ops practices (CI/CD, containerization, automation) in regulated environments (FedRAMP Moderate or equivalent).
• Technical depth:
  IaC with Terraform or AWS CDK; configuration management (Ansible/Chef/Puppet); scripting (Python/Bash/Power Shell); AWS security and network controls.
• Demonstrated experience using Generative AI tools/agents to improve developer efficiency and operational workflows.
• Three years of continuous U.S. residency required; equivalent education…
