Greenfield: define the cloud foundation - account structure, networking, Kubernetes platform, CI/CD, observability - before the first production workload lands, then scale it to sportsbook peak traffic for millions of players. The platform must hold under live-betting spikes, strict uptime expectations for a money-moving system, and gaming-regulator audit and compliance requirements. Hands-on technical leader: writes infrastructure code daily, sets platform standards, and is the technical authority on how software is built, shipped and operated.\nWhat you will do:\nDesign the AWS foundation from scratch: multi-account architecture (AWS Organizations), landing zone, VPC and networking, IAM strategy, cost governance\nBuild and operate the container platform - Amazon EKS, service mesh, autoscaling tuned for spiky sportsbook load, multi-AZ (and where justified multi-region) resilience\nDefine everything as code: Terraform for all infrastructure, GitOps delivery (Argo CD or similar), paved-road CI/CD pipelines so product teams ship safely and often\nEstablish the observability stack - metrics, logging, tracing, alerting (Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry, CloudWatch) - and drive an SLO-based reliability practice with error budgets\nOwn production readiness: incident response, on-call design, runbooks, chaos/load testing ahead of major sporting events, blameless postmortems\nBuild the infrastructure side of the migration off the current third-party platform: dual-running environments, data migration pipelines, cutover mechanics\nEmbed compliance into the platform: audit trails, environment segregation, backup/DR, controls that satisfy gaming regulators by construction\nPartner with the AI coding platform team: provision and operate the infrastructure behind AI-assisted development, and bring AI tooling into DevOps workflows\nMentor engineers across teams on cloud-native and operational best practices; set organization-wide standards\nRequirements\nMust have:\n10+ years of DevOps / platform / infrastructure engineering, including 3+ years at staff/principal level with organization-wide influence\nDeep hands-on AWS: EKS, EC2, RDS/Aurora, networking (VPC, Transit Gateway, Route 53), IAM at scale, multi-account architectures (AWS certifications such as SA Professional / DevOps Professional are a plus)\nExpert-level infrastructure as code with Terraform\nStrong Kubernetes operational depth: day-2 operations, upgrades, capacity, cost\nTrack record of building CI/CD and developer platforms engineering teams adopted willingly - golden paths, not gatekeeping\nObservability and SLO/error-budget practice (Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry, CloudWatch)\nExperience operating high-availability, high-throughput production systems with real traffic spikes, with documented playbooks from real incidents\nStrong scripting/programming (Python, Go or Bash) and comfort reading application code\nExperience designing backup, disaster recovery and business continuity for systems where data loss is not an option\nExcellent written and spoken English; communicates platform decisions clearly to engineers and executives\nNice to have:\n Hands-on use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex) for infrastructure, pipelines and ops automation - a significant plus\nSecurity engineering: cloud security posture management, secrets management (e.g. Vault), vulnerability management, SAST/DAST/SCA in CI/CD, ISO 27001 / SOC 2 / PCI DSS\niGaming, sports betting, fintech or another regulated, high-transaction-volume domain\nMigration off a third-party vendor platform\nEvent-streaming infrastructure (Kafka/MSK) and database operations at scale\nPolish and/or Spanish","description_format":"text","description_chars":3813,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Poland","iso":"PL","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T05:12:04Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":11,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.308,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":14,"expected_fill_days":7,"reasons":["conf:1","agency","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T06:34:16Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/all-rights-reserved-principal-devops-engineer-platform-infrastructure-aws","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/all-rights-reserved-principal-devops-engineer-platform-infrastructure-aws.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T17:51:21Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":22912,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2313062},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2313062"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fall-rights-reserved-principal-devops-engineer-platform-infrastructure-aws"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fall-rights-reserved-principal-devops-engineer-platform-infrastructure-aws"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fall-rights-reserved-principal-devops-engineer-platform-infrastructure-aws"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/all-rights-reserved-principal-devops-engineer-platform-infrastructure-aws\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fall-rights-reserved-principal-devops-engineer-platform-infrastructure-aws"}]}
