DevOps Engineer
First seen by Alion on Sep 18, 2026.
Role Summary:
You will own the infrastructure and delivery lifecycle end-to-end: architect and provision the AWS footprint (EC2, ECS, Lambda, RDS, S3, ECR, Route 53), containerise and orchestrate services with Docker and Kubernetes, and run the data-and-messaging backbone (PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka).
You will build the CI/CD pipelines that ship the Node/React/Python stack safely, tame the runtime and web tier, and keep every environment fast, observable, and cost-effective.
The AI-Augmented Edge:
At the company, AI is your primary workforce. Use Claude Code, Cursor, and Gemini to draft IaC, generate pipeline configs, review infra diffs, and reason about failure modes targeting efficiency gains.
Core Responsibilities:
- Multi-Service AWS Footprint: Design, provision, and harden EC2, ECS, Lambda, RDS (PostgreSQL), S3, ECR, and Route 53 as reproducible infrastructure.
- Infrastructure-as-Code: Own the estate in Terraform/CloudFormation with modular, version-controlled definitions.
- Containers & Orchestration: Containerise every service and run it on Kubernetes (EKS or self-managed) with autoscaling and zero-downtime rollouts.
- CI/CD & Delivery: Co-own GitHub Actions with reproducible builds, artifact versioning, and blue-green/canary rollouts.
- Observability & SRE: Stand up metrics, logs, and traces (CloudWatch, Prometheus/Grafana, ELK) with actionable alarms.
Must-Have Skills:
- 6-10 years of experience running production infrastructure for a SaaS/cloud-native product.
- Deep AWS expertise (EC2, ECS, Lambda, RDS, S3, ECR, Route 53, IAM).
- Multi-cloud exposure (AWS plus GCP/Azure/DigitalOcean).
- Strong Docker and Kubernetes (EKS or self-managed) skills.
- IaC (Terraform/CloudFormation) and CI/CD pipeline ownership.
- PostgreSQL, Redis, and web tier (nginx/Apache, Caddy/Traefik) operations.
