  • Harden security and compliance: IAM, KMS, WAF, secrets management (HashiCorp Vault), SSO/SAML, and audit remediation such as PCI DSS
  • Plan disaster recovery and backups, and reduce cloud spend through right-sizing and cost monitoring
  • Mentor engineers and report on reliability and cost to leadership.

Required Qualifications
  • 6+ years in DevOps, SRE or cloud infrastructure
  • Deep AWS experience (VPC, EC2, IAM, S3, RDS, Lambda, CloudFront or similar)
  • Production Kubernetes experience
  • Strong Terraform; experience with Ansible or similar configuration management
  • Hands-on CI/CD experience (CircleCI, Jenkins, Argo CD or GitHub Actions)
  • Experience with monitoring and logging platforms (Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, ELK/OpenSearch)
  • Scripting in Python and Bash
