Job Description

You'll combine strategic thinking and hands-on engineering with deep technical expertise to ensure our cloud platform remains reliable, scalable, and secure. You'll collaborate closely with DevOps, AWS Admins, and the Developer Team – with a strong focus on automation, observability, and security across a complex multi-account AWS organization structure.

What You’ll Do:

Architecture & Design

• Design and implementation of best practices for cloud architectures
• Advice on selection of platform components for existing or new products

Operations & Observability

• Design and implement scalable, highly available cloud-native systems within a complex, multi-account Organization structure.
• Design and implementation of a telemetry stack that is cost effective, compliant and can be used across multiple organizations
• Helping setup our Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and Service Level Indicators (SLIs) to actively managing the service qualities

Automation & Infrastructure as Code

• Drive IaC best practices
• Automate provisioning and configuration tasks to streamline operations and ensure consistency, including strategies for secure cross-account deployments.
• Lead CI/CD implementation for operational pipelines

Security & Identity

• Design and implement IAM-Strategy (e.g. Zero Trust, RBAC, SSO).
• Collaborate with other teams including OU structures and shared service account functionality.
• Design and implement compliance automation with policies as code e.g. Service Control Policies, AWS Config and AWS Security Hub

• 5+ years of experience as a DevOps Engineer, Site Reliability Engineer or Cloud Engineer in production-grade AWS environments or similar environments
• Experience in Kubernetes declarative deployments, Helm, IAM integration, autoscaling, and advanced troubleshooting
• Experience with policy-as-code frameworks such as AWS Service Control Policies (SCPs), AWS Config Rules, or equivalent governance tools.
• Strong proficiency in core AWS services is a plus – including EC2, RDS, VPC, IAM, Route 53, CloudTrail, AWS Organizations, Resource Access Manager (RAM), and AWS SSO.
• Strong proficiency in Infrastructure as Code using modern frameworks such as AWS CDK, Terraform, and CloudFormation, with a focus on reusable, cloud-agnostic infrastructure patterns.
• Experience with modern observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry (OTel) for metrics, logging, and distributed tracing.
• Experience in designing secure cloud network architectures and implementing compliance-aligned access controls across cloud-native environments.
• Excellent troubleshooting skills and an ownership mindset
