Summary
Role Overview
We are looking for an AWS DevOps Engineer to design, automate, and maintain scalable, reliable, and secure cloud infrastructure on Amazon Web Services (AWS). In this role, you will bridge software development and operations by building automated CI/CD pipelines, enforcing Infrastructure as Code (IaC), containerizing applications, and implementing proactive monitoring and cloud security best practices.
Key Responsibilities
1. Cloud Infrastructure & Automation (IaC)
Design, build, and maintain high-availability, scalable AWS infrastructure using Terraform or AWS CloudFormation.
Automate infrastructure provisioning, environment management, and routine operational tasks using Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
Manage core AWS computing and networking services, including EC2, S3, RDS, DynamoDB, VPC, Subnets, Route 53, and Elastic Load Balancing (ELB).
2. CI/CD Pipeline Management
Build, optimize, and maintain Continuous Integration & Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines using Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline / CodeBuild, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI/CD.
Automate code quality checks, security scans, unit tests, and production release deployments with minimal to zero downtime.
3. Containerization & Orchestration
Containerize microservices architectures using Docker.
Orchestrate and manage container fleets deployed on Amazon EKS (Kubernetes) or Amazon ECS.
4. Security, Compliance & DevSecOps
Enforce cloud security using AWS IAM policies, role-based access control (RBAC), KMS encryption, and AWS Secrets Manager.
Implement DevSecOps practices by integrating vulnerability scanning tools (Trivy, SonarQube, Snyk) directly into deployment workflows.
5. Monitoring, Alerting & Incident Response
Configure application performance monitoring and centralized logging using Amazon CloudWatch, AWS X-Ray, Datadog, Prometheus, or Grafana.
Establish proactive alerts, auto-scaling policies, and disaster recovery (DR) strategies to ensure 99.9%+ system uptime.
Lead troubleshooting and root-cause analysis (RCA) for production failures.
