Cloud Architect   $100,000 USD/year

Description

As a DevOps engineer, you focus not merely on operational continuity but on designing infrastructure that eliminates failure before it occurs. If you find satisfaction in analyzing fragmented legacy systems, architecting more robust solutions, and automating repetitive processes, this position will suit you. We require a DevOps and AWS infrastructure specialist who excels in demanding production environments where 99.9% uptime is the baseline expectation. Your work will span a portfolio of acquired products, each carrying distinct technical characteristics, as you migrate them into a unified, scalable AWS architecture and establish monitoring and automation frameworks that minimize incident occurrence.

While most organizations ask you to support a single technology stack, we expect you to rationalize and enhance multiple stacks without service disruption. Where others distribute databases across isolated instances, we pursue the opposite approach, strategically consolidating them to achieve cost efficiency and simplified management across our product portfolio. This role does not suit someone seeking to passively maintain existing infrastructure; it is designed for someone who encounters inconsistent, distributed environments and immediately envisions superior architecture.

Your ownership will extend from infrastructure migrations through AI-enabled automation, performance optimization, database migration, and cost management. This includes identifying and resolving existing issues, designing and executing cloud migrations with minimal downtime, and deploying AI/ML-driven workflows that automate significant portions of operational work. You will possess genuine decision-making authority over infrastructure choices—without waiting for approval from stakeholders lacking technical depth.

If you are a self-directed problem-solver who excels at rationalizing complex systems and ensuring flawless operation, this role will provide exceptional opportunity. If you require close supervision, struggle with heterogeneous technology stacks, or prefer greenfield projects to bringing order to existing complexity, this position will not be a good fit. If you are prepared to assume ownership of a high-impact infrastructure function with scope to build, optimize, and automate at scale, submit your application now.

What you will be doing

  • Designing and executing complex infrastructure transformations, including migrations from legacy platforms to AWS cloud infrastructure and lift-and-shift migrations
  • Creating and deploying monitoring strategies and developing automation for monitoring, software deployment, and operational processes
  • Conducting system monitoring, system backups, incident management, database migrations, database configuration, and cost optimization

What you will NOT be doing

  • Spending time in Jira and prolonged status meetings - we prioritize individuals who deliver solutions, not simply document issues
  • Sustaining obsolete systems without end - you will be authorized to implement substantive improvements
  • Waiting for bureaucratic approval processes - you will possess authority to implement immediate remediation during incidents
  • Operating within narrow technical boundaries - this role demands both comprehensive and specialized technical knowledge
  • Requesting budget approval for essential improvements - we recognize the value of infrastructure investment

Key responsibilities

  • Ensure reliability and standardization of cloud infrastructure across 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 cloud providers alone is insufficient)
  • Proficient programming capabilities in Python or JavaScript for developing automation and tooling
  • Demonstrated experience managing and migrating production databases across multiple engines (including MySql, Postgres, Oracle, MS-SQL)
  • Expert-level Docker/Kubernetes skills
  • Hands-on experience with infrastructure automation (Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation)
  • Linux systems administration expertise
