About Come Back Agency & Client Position
Come Back Agency supports US software and technology companies by running their hiring process. We work with delivery and leadership teams to define roles, screen candidates, and manage interviews. Successful candidates are hired directly by the company and become part of its team.
This position is with a US-based software company providing custom development and AI implementation for North American clients. The team builds and maintains production software, including AI-enabled systems, and works in long-term client engagements. Team members operate as part of an internal, distributed team and collaborate directly with client stakeholders.
About the Role
As we scale our operations and infrastructure, we are looking for a hands-on DevOps Engineer (AWS/EKS focus) who can design robust cloud environments, standardize infrastructure templates, and build scalable platform components for our US-based clients.
In this role, you will take ownership of building automated end-to-end cloud infrastructure, managing multi-account AWS environments, provisioning production-ready Kubernetes clusters, and optimizing CI/CD workflows. You will focus primarily on delivering clean, reliable, and scalable infrastructure without being bogged down by administrative compliance overhead.
What You Will Do
Cloud Architecture & Multi-Account Setup: Design, build, and maintain AWS infrastructure from scratch; standardize multi-account environments using AWS Organizations and repeatable landing zones.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Write modular, reusable IaC using Terraform and Terragrunt to manage scalable infrastructure across multiple environments.
Container Orchestration: Deploy, scale, and maintain production Kubernetes clusters (Amazon EKS), including Helm chart management and GitOps practices (ArgoCD / FluxCD).
CI/CD Optimization: Build and maintain scalable, automated deployment pipelines from scratch (primarily GitHub Actions) to enable smooth developer workflows.
System Migration: Lead and execute cloud application migrations to AWS, ensuring high availability and alignment with architectural best practices.
Observability & Reliability: Set up and standardize comprehensive logging, monitoring, and alerting frameworks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog/ELK) to ensure high system uptime and performance.
Collaboration & Security Baseline: Implement least-privilege IAM policies, secrets management (HashiCorp Vault / AWS Secrets Manager), and collaborate with the security team on infrastructure hardening.
Requirements
Experience: 2.5+ years of practical commercial experience as a DevOps Engineer (AWS/EKS focus) managing cloud environments.
AWS Expertise: Strong hands-on experience with core AWS services (VPC networking, IAM, EC2, RDS, Route53) and multi-account structures (AWS Organizations).
Kubernetes (EKS): Solid production experience deploying and maintaining Kubernetes clusters in AWS (Amazon EKS).
Infrastructure as Code: Advanced experience writing, refactoring, and maintaining clean Terraform (and/or Terragrunt) code.
CI/CD: Proven experience building automated CI/CD pipelines from scratch (GitHub Actions preferred, or GitLab CI).
Linux & Scripting: Strong knowledge of Linux administration and shell scripting (Bash, Python).
Communication: B2+ English level (Upper-Intermediate or higher) for effective daily communication with US-based stakeholders and cross-functional teams.
Nice to Have
AWS Certifications (e.g., AWS Certified Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer – Professional, or SysOps Administrator).
Practical experience with GitOps tools (ArgoCD or FluxCD).
Exposure to cloud cost optimization and rightsizing practices.
What We Offer
Working hours aligned with US time zones (16:00–00:00 Kyiv time).
Company-sponsored English lessons to support clear and confident communication.
