Summary

Job description
In this role, you'll manage and maintain AWS-based infrastructure, ensuring systems remain secure, up-to-date, and operationally efficient. You'll lead upgrade and remediation efforts across services and dependencies while identifying opportunities to reduce operational overhead through automation and improved monitoring.
The ideal candidate has deep experience in infrastructure management, system lifecycle maintenance, and security best practices within cloud environments.

As an AWS Cloud Ops/System Admin, you will:
  • Own end-to-end planning and execution of software and version upgrades across AWS environments, including services, runtimes, and dependencies.
  • Identify and remediate systems approaching end-of-life or end-of-support (EOL/EOS), including operating systems, managed services (e.g., RDS, ElastiCache), and third-party components.
  • Manage large-scale patching initiatives and perform upgrades with minimal downtime and operational impact.
  • Identify repetitive operational tasks and implement automation, self-healing mechanisms, and monitoring improvements.
  • Monitor system health and performance using tools such as Datadog and CloudWatch, driving optimization and reliability.
  • Maintain and improve infrastructure using tools such as AWS SSM, Terraform, Atlantis, and Kubernetes.
Ideal candidate profile
Bonus Qualifications Multi Cloud Experience: Experience with Azure, Google Cloud Platform is a bonus.
Daily tasks
Company's Platform team is responsible for building the core abstractions and infrastructure on which the products can be built and iterated rapidly. We are looking for an Operations-focused AWS administrator with deep experience in infrastructure management, lifecycle maintenance, and security hardening. Scope of work: Software & Version Upgrade Management Our environment hosts numerous services, runtimes, and dependencies that require ongoing version currency. Contract admins will own end-to-end upgrade planning and execution across our AWS workloads. End-of-Life / End-of-Support (EOL/EOS) Remediation Upon approaching EOL/EOS status, contract admins will systematically identify, prioritize, and remediate these instances before they go out of support. This includes operating system versions, managed service engines (e.g., RDS, ElastiCache), and third-party libraries. Operational Burden Reduction: Identifying repetitive operational tasks with suggestions on self-healing and monitoring improvements.
Required skills
YOE: Minimum of 3 years of experience in AWS administration. AWS: Experience with core AWS services EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, RDS, EKS. Patching & Upgrades: Proven track record of managing large-scale patching programs and performing major version upgrades for OS and middleware with minimal downtime. Operational Tooling: Proficiency with AWS SSM, Terraform, Atlantis, and Kubernetes for configuration management and automation. Scripting: Familiarity with functional scripts (Bash, Python, etc.) that automate operational workflows-focused on system management rather than application development. Monitoring & Metrics: Experience using Datadog, CloudWatch, or similar tools to monitor system health and drive optimization efforts.
