Summary

Join an innovative organization as a Cloud DevOps Engineer in a full-time role focused on designing, implementing, and maintaining scalable and secure cloud-native infrastructure with emphasis on AWS and Kubernetes. You'll contribute to cloud migrations, security implementations, and DevOps best practices while supporting the reliability and performance of cloud environments. This position involves working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver infrastructure solutions that align with application and business needs. You'll continuously improve systems through automation, monitoring, and operational best practices while growing your technical skills and sharing knowledge within the team. This role combines hands-on engineering work with opportunities to participate in proof-of-concept efforts for new tools and technologies, contributing implementation feedback and helping shape infrastructure standards.

This is an excellent opportunity for a DevOps professional with strong Linux and cloud experience to work with cutting-edge cloud-native technologies in a collaborative environment. The role offers significant technical depth, working extensively with Kubernetes on AWS EKS while implementing observability solutions, Infrastructure as Code, and CI/CD pipelines. You'll gain valuable experience across the full cloud infrastructure stack, from container orchestration to security implementations and application modernization efforts. The position provides opportunities to participate in proof-of-concept initiatives, allowing you to evaluate and implement new technologies while influencing infrastructure direction. Working with cross-functional teams including application developers and platform engineers, you'll develop strong collaboration skills while solving complex technical challenges. The focus on automation, monitoring, and operational excellence means you'll build systems that improve reliability and performance at scale. With participation in on-call rotations and incident response, you'll gain critical operational experience and contribute to continuous improvement through post-incident learnings. The role emphasizes both technical growth and knowledge sharing, creating an environment where curiosity and learning are valued. Preferred certifications in AWS or Google Cloud Platform and experience with monitoring tools like Grafana, Prometheus, or AlertManager provide clear pathways for professional development.
