Senior DevOps Engineer (Infra / Platform Team)
Job description
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.
