including technical assessments and interview panels.\nBuild strong, trust-based relationships across engineering, product, and security teams.\nBuild & Automate:\nDesign, build, and own Novo's cloud infrastructure on AWS using infrastructure-as-code (Terraform / Terragrunt).\nAutomate everything - scaling, patching, incident response, secrets rotation, and day-2 operations.\nDeploy and maintain self-service tooling so both the DevOps team and all of Novo's engineering teams can move faster without bottlenecks.\nImplement and evolve Novo's CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) for speed, safety, and observability.\nPartner with developers to build services aligned with modern design patterns (12-Factor, GitOps).\nSecure & Observe:\nDevelop, document, and enforce security policies, protocols, and procedures across all environments (dev, QA, staging, prod).\nImplement and manage secure networking connectivity to private resources with a Zero-Trust approach.\nAutomated TLS certificate lifecycle management.\nMonitor and troubleshoot services using Prometheus/Grafana, ELK, and CloudWatch - and proactively identify gaps in observability coverage.\nDesign and maintain Nginx configurations, load balancing, and reverse proxy patterns.\nAutomation, AIOps & Modern Tooling:\nUse AI-assisted tools (Google Gemini, LLM-based runbook generation, intelligent alerting) to accelerate infrastructure delivery and reduce toil.\nEvaluate and adopt emerging AI DevOps tooling - from AIOps anomaly detection to AI-assisted incident triage.\nBuild internal AI-augmented automations: auto-remediation scripts, policy-as-code evaluators, and intelligent capacity recommendations.\nChampion a culture of \"automate before you delegate\" - if you're doing something manually twice, it should become a script or workflow.\nRequirements for the role:\n8+ years in cloud infrastructure, with 3+ years hands-on AWS - owning complex systems end-to-end and driving technical decisions across engineering teams\nCloud & Infrastructure:\nDeep expertise in AWS services, such as: EC2, EKS, ECS, RDS, Elasticache, S3, IAM, VPC, Route 53, CloudFront.\nExpert-level Terraform (Terragrunt a strong plus), able to define custom internal modules to bootstrap complete solutions.\nConfident managing multi-account AWS environments.\nStrong Linux systems knowledge -
