Description
You're a DevOps engineer who focuses not on firefighting, but on preventing fires from starting. If you're energized by dissecting complex legacy infrastructure, architecting more efficient systems, and automating every manual process you find, this opportunity is for you. We need a DevOps and AWS infrastructure specialist who excels in high-pressure settings where 99.9% uptime is the baseline expectation. You'll operate across a portfolio of acquired products, each presenting unique challenges, transitioning them into a unified, scalable AWS environment while establishing monitoring and automation that genuinely reduces incident frequency.
Most organizations ask you to support one stack. We need you to unify and refine multiple stacks without causing disruption. Where others separate databases, we take a different approach, deliberately consolidating them to enhance cost efficiency and management simplicity across our product portfolio. This position isn't designed for someone content with maintaining existing infrastructure; it's built for someone who encounters a disjointed, inconsistent environment and immediately envisions how to improve it.
You'll have end-to-end ownership spanning infrastructure migrations through AI-powered automation, performance optimization, database transitions, and cost management. This includes identifying and resolving existing issues, strategizing and implementing smooth cloud migrations with minimal downtime, and leveraging AI/ML-driven workflows to automate significant portions of operational work. You'll possess genuine authority to make infrastructure choices—no extended waits for sign-off from stakeholders disconnected from technical realities.
If you're a self-directed problem-solver who enjoys unraveling complicated systems and ensuring flawless operation, this position will be highly rewarding. If you require substantial guidance, become stressed managing diverse technology stacks, or favor greenfield projects over transforming chaos into structure, this role won't suit you. If you're prepared to assume ownership of a high-impact infrastructure position with opportunities to build, refine, and automate at scale, submit your application now!
What you will be doing
- Strategizing and executing sophisticated infrastructure transformations, including transitions from legacy environments to AWS cloud infrastructure and lift-and-shift migrations
- Architecting and deploying monitoring frameworks and creating automations for monitoring, software releases, and operational processes
- Conducting system monitoring, system backups, incident management, database migrations, database configurations, and cost optimization
What you will NOT be doing
- Spending time in Jira and continuous status updates - we prioritize individuals who deliver solutions, not merely document issues
- Supporting legacy systems perpetually - you'll be authorized to pursue substantial improvements
- Waiting through bureaucratic approval processes - you'll possess the authority to implement immediate remediation for incidents
- Operating within restrictive technical boundaries - this position demands both comprehensive and specialized knowledge
- Justifying budget for essential improvements - we recognize the value of infrastructure investment
Key responsibilities
- Advance reliability and consistency of cloud infrastructure throughout our expanding product portfolio by deploying comprehensive monitoring, automation, and AWS best practices.
Candidate requirements
- Extensive AWS infrastructure expertise (this is our core platform - experience with other clouds alone is insufficient)
- Proficient programming abilities in Python or JavaScript for developing automation and tooling
- Experience administering and migrating production databases across multiple engines (including MySql, Postgres, Oracle, MS-SQL)
- Expert-level Docker/Kubernetes capabilities
- Experience with infrastructure automation (Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation)
- Linux systems administration expertise
