Description
You're a DevOps engineer who builds infrastructure that runs itself. If you're drawn to untangling legacy systems, architecting leaner solutions, and automating every manual process you find, this role is built for you. We need a DevOps and AWS infrastructure specialist who operates confidently in high-pressure settings where 99.9% uptime is the baseline. You'll shepherd a portfolio of acquired products—each with unique challenges—into a unified, scalable AWS environment while implementing monitoring and automation that turns incidents into exceptions.
Most organizations ask you to support one stack. We're asking you to harmonize and refine several without causing disruptions. Where others separate databases, we take a different approach, consolidating them strategically to improve cost efficiency and simplify management across our product suite. This position isn't for someone content to maintain what exists; it's for someone who looks at fragmented, inconsistent infrastructure and immediately envisions something better.
You'll be accountable for infrastructure migrations, AI-powered automation, performance optimization, database transitions, and cost management. That includes troubleshooting and resolving issues, orchestrating smooth cloud migrations with minimal downtime, and using AI/ML-driven workflows to automate significant portions of your workload. You'll hold genuine decision-making authority over infrastructure—no delays waiting for sign-offs from stakeholders unfamiliar with the technical reality.
If you're a self-directed problem-solver who enjoys transforming complicated systems into reliable operations, this role will suit you perfectly. If you require constant guidance, feel overwhelmed managing diverse tech stacks, or prefer greenfield projects over bringing order to existing complexity, this won't be a good fit. If you're prepared to own a high-impact infrastructure position with the freedom to build, refine, and automate at scale, apply now!
What you will be doing
- Orchestrating complex infrastructure transformations, including migrations from legacy platforms to AWS cloud environments and lift-and-shift transitions
- Architecting and deploying monitoring strategies and creating automations for monitoring, software releases, and operational processes
- Conducting system monitoring, managing system backups, responding to incidents, migrating databases, configuring database systems, and optimizing costs
What you will NOT be doing
- Spending your days in Jira and status meetings - we prioritize those who deliver solutions, not just document issues
- Keeping obsolete systems running forever - you'll have the mandate to implement substantial improvements
- Waiting on bureaucratic approval processes - you'll possess the authority to apply immediate fixes when incidents occur
- Operating within narrow technical boundaries - this position demands both wide-ranging knowledge and deep expertise
- Justifying budget requests for essential infrastructure work - we recognize the value of infrastructure investment
Key responsibilities
- Establish reliability and standardization of cloud infrastructure throughout our expanding product portfolio by deploying comprehensive monitoring, automation, and AWS best practices.
Candidate requirements
- Deep AWS infrastructure expertise (this is our primary platform - other cloud experience alone won't cut it)
- Experience scripting with Python and Bash for day-to-day administration operations
- Experience managing and migrating production databases with multiple engines (including MySql, Postgres, Oracle, MS-SQL)
- Experience with infrastructure automation (Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation)
- Linux systems administration expertise
