- Provision and manage AWS resources, including VPCs, subnets, route tables, NAT gateways, EC2, Auto Scaling, load balancers, IAM, S3, RDS, and EKS.
- Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) best practices using Terraform variables, outputs, data sources, modules, workspaces, remote backends, and state locking.
- Manage Terraform lifecycle operations, including initialization, validation, planning, deployment, destruction, and state troubleshooting.
- Develop and maintain GitLab CI/CD pipelines using .gitlab-ci.yml and GitLab runners to automate Terraform validation, planning, and infrastructure deployment.
- Integrate Terraform workflows with Git, branching strategies, merge requests, code reviews, approvals, and controlled deployment processes.
- Implement DevSecOps practices, including IaC security scanning, policy validation, vulnerability checks, secrets management, and compliance controls.
- Apply AWS security best practices, including IAM roles and policies, least-privilege access, secure authentication, and network security.
- Troubleshoot Terraform deployment failures, AWS infrastructure issues, state inconsistencies, and CI/CD pipeline failures.
- Collaborate with cloud and platform engineering teams to design secure, scalable, highly available AWS infrastructure.
- Automate infrastructure provisioning and operational processes using scripting and CI/CD tools.
- Support containerized environments using Docker and Kubernetes/EKS where required.
Requirements :
- 6 - 10 years of experience in DevOps, cloud infrastructure, or related engineering roles.
- Expert-level hands-on experience with Terraform for AWS infrastructure provisioning and lifecycle management.
- Strong experience with AWS services, particularly VPC, EC2, IAM, S3, RDS, load balancers, Auto Scaling, CloudWatch, and AWS networking.
- Proven experience developing reusable Terraform modules and managing remote state, state locking, workspaces, and multi-environment deployments.
- Strong hands-on experience creating and maintaining GitLab CI/CD pipelines, including GitLab runners, .gitlab-ci.yml, automated Terraform workflows, and deployment approvals.
- Strong understanding of Infrastructure as Code, Git, CI/CD, and infrastructure change management.
- Knowledge of DevSecOps practices, including IaC scanning tools such as Checkov, tfsec, or TFLint, secrets management, and security compliance.
- Strong understanding of AWS IAM, security groups, network security, and least-privilege access.
