It helps its clients drive their digital transformation and obtain tangible and sustainable benefits. The Group provides end-to-end solutions to make large companies and organisations more competitive by combining in-depth knowledge of a wide range of business sectors and innovative technologies with a collaborative approach. Sopra Steria places people at the heart of everything it does and is committed to putting digital to work for its clients in order to build a positive future for all. In 2025, the Group generated revenues of €5.6 billion.\nThe world is how we shape it.\n The role is the technical lead for production operations within an international L1/L2/L3 organisation. They operate an existing AWS platform, understand its components and dependencies, and personally diagnose and resolve complex incidents. They work with the SDM, L1/L2, Build teams and specialist experts. The SDM organises and manages the service; L3 owns technical diagnosis and resolution. The role requires a hands-on Production/SRE profile with proven AWS expertise in production, an end-to-end view of the business application and its flows, and a high level of autonomy from the start to secure operations and prepare transitions.\nIncidents and Service Restoration\nProvide L3 support for complex incidents escalated by L2.\nHandle P1/P2 incidents in the crisis bridge and provide technical diagnosis.\nInvestigate applications and flows end to end: front/back end, APIs, microservices, Kubernetes, middleware, networking, data and AWS services.\nAnalyse and correlate logs, metrics, events and changes to locate failures.\nUnderstand business consequences and prioritise recovery actions.\nPerform appropriate fixes or recovery operations, engage the required experts and verify service restoration.\nPrevention and Operability\nLead RCA, document causes and define measures to prevent recurrence.\nDefine probes, metrics, thresholds and preventive checks based on component and flow knowledge.\nChallenge Build teams on operability, configurations, observability, resilience and production risks.\nSupport the operational acceptance of new components.\nAutomation and Knowledge Transfer\nDefine and evolve technical standards and operating practices.\nStandardise and automate recurring operations.\nStructure runbooks, documentation and knowledge transfer.\nGuide L1/L2 and strengthen their autonomy.\nTechnical Skills\nObservability: direct use of Elastic/Kibana and CloudWatch for monitoring, investigation and correlation.\nApplications: front/back end, REST APIs/API Gateway, microservices, data flows and dependencies.\nMessaging and events: SQS, EventBridge and understanding of interactions with Kafka/Confluent.\nAWS infrastructure: EC2, Auto Scaling, IAM, S3/EFS, VPC, Route 53, ALB/NLB, Transit Gateway and cross-account traffic.\nDatabases: PostgreSQL/Aurora investigation in a production context.\nAutomation: Terraform, GitLab CI/CD and Bash/Python scripting.\nContainers: strong Kubernetes/EKS troubleshooting and end-to-end application understanding.\nData exchange: production data exchange, ideally AWS Transfer Family/SFTP, including exchange and dependency troubleshooting.\nLambda: hands-on Lambda operations and troubleshooting of interactions with other services.\nPreferred: AS2, Docker/Helm, GitOps/ArgoCD. Prometheus, Grafana and OpenTelemetry can complement observability. Kafka/Confluent skills can be developed with support from the existing team.\nCertifications\nMandatory: AWS certification, supported by significant and recent AWS production experience.\nPreferred: Kubernetes certifications and advanced or professional AWS certifications.\nRequired Experience\nSignificant, recent AWS production experience.\nOperation of business-critical applications and personal handling of major P1/P2 incidents.\nDeep expertise in at least one core component, ideally one or two, combined with broad production support coverage and end-to-end understanding of dependencies.\nTransfer Family and Lambda are particularly sought; strong production data exchange experience on another solution remains relevant.\nExperience assembling, operating and troubleshooting multiple cloud services, including in startup environments. A smaller platform may be relevant if its dependencies and operational challenges are comparable.\nMust confirm personal incident actions, architecture and flow understanding, observability tools used and preventive practices, and be able to explain decisions and ask relevant operability questions.\nA background focused only on Build, architecture, lift and shift, infrastructure or CI/CD is insufficient.\nA mainly Azure profile does not meet AWS requirements. AWS expertise is needed from the start; this assignment is not for learning AWS fundamentals.\nAutonomy, production reflexes, analytical thinking, technical decision-making, clear communication and awareness of business impact.\nProfessional English is required. French is optional.\nTotal Experience Expected: 08-10 years\n BE/B.Tech\n At our organization, we are committed to fighting against all forms of discrimination. We foster a work environment that is inclusive and respectful of all differences.\nAll of our positions are open to people with disabilities.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5398,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["IT Consulting & Digital Transformation","IT Outsourcing & Dedicated Teams","Systems Integrators","Custom Software Development"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-13T08:38:40Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":63,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.632,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:5","stale_co","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-14T05:58:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/sopra-steria-aws-cloud-devops-senior-infrastructure-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/sopra-steria-aws-cloud-devops-senior-infrastructure-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-14T18:47:50Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":22577,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":52881},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=52881"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsopra-steria-aws-cloud-devops-senior-infrastructure-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsopra-steria-aws-cloud-devops-senior-infrastructure-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsopra-steria-aws-cloud-devops-senior-infrastructure-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/sopra-steria-aws-cloud-devops-senior-infrastructure-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsopra-steria-aws-cloud-devops-senior-infrastructure-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4227953}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"soprasteria.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4227953},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
