Senior DevOps Engineer (Infra / Platform Team)

About the Role We’re looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our Infrastructure team and help design, build, and operate secure, compliant, and automated cloud environments that power our internal systems and customer-facing platforms. You’ll work alongside experienced infrastructure and security engineers who believe in treating infrastructure as code, enforcing least-privilege access, and automating everything — from CI/CD pipelines to compliance evidence collection. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in AWS-based environments, enjoys writing Terraform modules and Python automation, and understands how to balance velocity, reliability, and compliance (ISO 27001, SOC 2, CIS Benchmarks). Responsibilities • Design, implement, and maintain AWS infrastructure across multiple accounts and regions (Control Tower, Organizations, SSO). • Develop, test, and version Terraform modules and reusable infrastructure blueprints. • Build and improve CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, self-hosted runners, OIDC). • Implement security automation: CloudWatch alarms, Security Hub, GuardDuty, AWS Config, KMS key policies, and compliance-as-code pipelines. • Manage observability stacks (CloudWatch, Grafana, Prometheus, ELK). • Support containerized workloads (ECS EC2, EKS, Lambda). • Contribute to ISO 27001 controls implementation and evidence collection (Vanta, Terraform compliance mappings). • Build developer-friendly tools and abstractions for provisioning and monitoring cloud resources. • Troubleshoot complex issues across systems, networks, and applications. Requirements • 5+ years of experience in DevOps, Infrastructure, or SRE roles. • Deep expertise in AWS (IAM, EC2, S3, CloudWatch, KMS, Config, Security Hub, etc.). • Production experience with Terraform (module authoring, testing, provider upgrades). • Strong scripting / automation skills in Python and Bash. • Solid understanding of CI/CD (GitHub Actions preferred) and infrastructure testing (pytest, Terratest, etc.). • Familiarity with ISO 27001, SOC 2, or CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark. • Experience with container orchestration (EKS/ECS), serverless (Lambda), and modern deployment patterns. • Excellent communication and documentation skills; experience working in distributed teams. Nice to Have • Experience with Vanta, Security Hub custom integrations, or GuardDuty alert routing. • Knowledge of MySQL/PostgreSQL operations, RDS, or Aurora. • Experience building internal tools (Terraform providers, Python CLIs, GitHub Apps). • Passion for clean, testable code and reproducible automation. What We Offer • Work directly with the engineers who build and maintain our Terraform modules, compliance automation, and self-hosted runners. • A culture that values security, simplicity, and ownership. • 100% remote, flexible hours, async-friendly environment. • Competitive compensation.
