Senior DevOps Engineer (Infra / Platform Team)

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our Infrastructure team and help design, build, and operate secure, compliant, and automated cloud environments that power our internal systems and customer-facing platforms.

You’ll work alongside experienced infrastructure and security engineers who believe in treating infrastructure as code, enforcing least-privilege access, and automating everything — from CI/CD pipelines to compliance evidence collection.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in AWS-based environments, enjoys writing Terraform modules and Python automation, and understands how to balance velocity, reliability, and compliance (ISO 27001, SOC 2, CIS Benchmarks).
Responsibilities

-
Design, implement, and maintain AWS infrastructure across multiple accounts and regions (Control Tower, Organizations, SSO).

-
Develop, test, and version Terraform modules and reusable infrastructure blueprints.

-
Build and improve CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, self-hosted runners, OIDC).

-
Implement security automation: CloudWatch alarms, Security Hub, GuardDuty, AWS Config, KMS key policies, and compliance-as-code pipelines.

-
Manage observability stacks (CloudWatch, Grafana, Prometheus, ELK).

-
Support containerized workloads (ECS EC2, EKS, Lambda).

-
Contribute to ISO 27001 controls implementation and evidence collection (Vanta, Terraform compliance mappings).

-
Build developer-friendly tools and abstractions for provisioning and monitoring cloud resources.

-
Troubleshoot complex issues across systems, networks, and applications.

Requirements

-
5+ years of experience in DevOps, Infrastructure, or SRE roles.

-
Deep expertise in AWS (IAM, EC2, S3, CloudWatch, KMS, Config, Security Hub, etc.).

-
Production experience with Terraform (module authoring, testing, provider upgrades).

-
Strong scripting / automation skills in Python and Bash.

-
Solid understanding of CI/CD (GitHub Actions preferred) and infrastructure testing (pytest, Terratest, etc.).

-
Familiarity with ISO 27001, SOC 2, or CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark.

-
Experience with container orchestration (EKS/ECS), serverless (Lambda), and modern deployment patterns.

-
Excellent communication and documentation skills; experience working in distributed teams.

Nice to Have

-
Experience with Vanta, Security Hub custom integrations, or GuardDuty alert routing.

-
Knowledge of MySQL/PostgreSQL operations, RDS, or Aurora.

-
Experience building internal tools (Terraform providers, Python CLIs, GitHub Apps).

-
Passion for clean, testable code and reproducible automation.

What We Offer

-
Work directly with the engineers who build and maintain our Terraform modules, compliance automation, and self-hosted runners.

-
A culture that values security, simplicity, and ownership.

-
100% remote, flexible hours, async-friendly environment.

- Competitive compensation.
