Responsibilities:

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to own and evolve our AWS cloud infrastructure, drive our FinOps discipline, and ensure our systems are scalable, secure, and cost-efficient. This is a hands-on role with real ownership - you will architect solutions, automate operations, and work closely with R&D teams to deliver reliable infrastructure that powers SolarEdge products worldwide. We offer a hybrid model of work -two days at the office.

AWS Cloud Infrastructure

Design, build, and maintain scalable, highly available AWS infrastructure across multi-account environments.

• Own core AWS services including EC2, EKS, RDS, S3, VPC, IAM, Route53, CloudFront, and CloudWatch
• Implement and manage Infrastructure as Code using Terraform - reusable modules, remote state, workspaces, and policy-as-code.
• Architect secure, well-governed AWS environments using Organizations, SCPs, and Control Tower patterns.
• Ensure infrastructure security through IAM least-privilege policies, VPC design, encryption, and compliance controls.

FinOps & Cloud Cost Management

Own the FinOps practice: implement cost tagging strategies, enforce resource governance, and deliver regular cost visibility reports.

Identify and execute on rightsizing, Reserved Instance, and Savings Plan optimization opportunities.

Build budget alerting, cost anomaly detection, and automated guardrails to prevent cloud spend overruns.

Work with engineering teams to embed cost-awareness into architecture and development decisions.

Kubernetes & Containerization

• Provision, operate, and maintain EKS clusters for production and non-production workloads.
• Provision, operate, and maintain On-Prem Rancher cluster and non-production workloads
• Manage Helm chart deployments, configure autoscaling (HPA/VPA/Karpenter), and enforce RBAC and network policies.
• Support containerization efforts and ensure Docker best practices across development and production environments.

CI/CD & Automation

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines in GitLab, integrating automated testing, SAST/SCA scanning, and deployment gates.
• Automate operational tasks - provisioning, patching, scaling, backups, and incident remediation - using Python and Bash.

Observability & Reliability

• Build and maintain the observability stack: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch, and alerting pipelines.
• Define and monitor SLOs/SLIs, own incident response runbooks, and contribute to post-mortem culture.
• Proactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, reliability risks, and security gaps.

Requirements

Must-Have

• 3-5 years of hands-on DevOps or cloud engineering experience in production AWS environments.
• Strong AWS expertise: EC2, EKS, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM, CloudWatch, Cost Explorer - with the ability to design end-to-end solutions.
• Proven Terraform skills: writing modules, managing state, and enforcing infrastructure standards.
• Demonstrated FinOps experience: cost tagging, rightsizing, and budget governance.
• Hands-on Kubernetes experience: EKS, On-prem rancher rke2, Helm, RBAC, autoscaling, Vault and network policies.
• CI/CD pipeline experience with GitLab or equivalent; familiarity with SAST/SCA tooling.
• Scripting proficiency in Python and/or Bash for automation and operational tooling.
• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals: DNS, load balancing, VPC peering, TLS.

Nice to Have

• Experience with ArgoCD, GitOps workflows, or progressive delivery strategies.
• Familiarity with Pulumi or AWS CDK as IaC alternatives.
• Exposure to DevSecOps practices: secrets management (Vault, AWS Secrets Manager), container image scanning, and compliance-as-code.
• AWS certifications: Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer, or FinOps Practitioner (FinOps Foundation).
• Experience with observability tooling: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or OpenTelemetry.
• Interest in GenAI-powered automation and developer tooling.
