Job description_

About the Role_

Join our client and help scale their AWS data platform through automation-first operations. You’ll identify repetitive operational work and replace it with Infrastructure as Code, automated runbooks, and self-service deployment capabilities, making the platform faster to change, cheaper to run, and compliant by design. This role blends cloud infrastructure engineering, DevOps / CI/CD, and FinOps and compliance automation, giving you the opportunity to shape how the platform is built, deployed, governed, and operated.

A day in this role_

• Identify repetitive operational tasks and design automation to eliminate manual effort.
• Implement Infrastructure as Code using Terraform across AWS environments.
• Automate governance and compliance checks across accounts and resources.
• Build self-service deployment capabilities for engineering and data teams.
• Automate cost reporting and remediation (e.g., idle resources, rightsizing, scheduling).
• Create operational dashboards and alerts to improve visibility and incident response.
• Improve CI/CD processes using GitHub (Actions, branching strategies, automated testing and promotion).
• Orchestrate operational workflows with AWS Step Functions, EventBridge, Lambda, and Systems Manager.
• Collaborate with platform, data, and security teams to define standards, guardrails, and best practices.
• Terraform modules and Infrastructure as Code for the platform.
• Automated operational runbooks.
• Compliance automation.
• Cost optimization automation.
• Deployment pipelines (CI/CD).

The expertise requested_

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, cloud infrastructure, or platform engineering roles.
• Strong expertise in Terraform and Infrastructure as Code practices (modules, state management, environments).
• Hands-on experience with AWS Step Functions, Amazon EventBridge, AWS Systems Manager, and AWS Lambda.
• Experience with GitHub and building CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or similar).
• Working knowledge of AWS Glue, Amazon Redshift, Amazon Athena, Amazon S3, and Amazon EC2.
• Strong scripting and development skills in Python and SQL.
• Experience implementing monitoring, alerting, and operational dashboards (CloudWatch or similar).
• Solid understanding of Agile, SDLC, and modern engineering best practices.

Desired or nice to have expertise_

• Experience with AWS Config, Security Hub, or policy-as-code tools (OPA, Sentinel, Checkov).
• Experience with FinOps practices and tools (Cost Explorer, Cost and Usage Reports, budgets).
• Familiarity with multi-account AWS setups (AWS Organizations, Control Tower).
• Exposure to AI-assisted engineering tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor) to accelerate automation.
• AWS certifications (e.g., DevOps Engineer - Professional, SysOps Administrator) or HashiCorp Terraform Associate.
