  • Work with compliance teams to ensure adherence to regulations and industry standards such as SOC2 and StateRamp. 
  • Design, build, and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or CircleCI.
  • Facilitate seamless integration and continuous deployment processes to ensure rapid and reliable delivery of new features and patches.
  • Set up and manage comprehensive monitoring and alerting systems using tools like CloudWatch, Prometheus, or Grafana.
  • Develop and implement incident response protocols; lead incident investigations and post-mortems.
  • Provide mentorship and training to junior engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define technical requirements and deliver high-quality solutions.


Requirements and Preferred Experience:
  • BA/BS in a computer-science-related discipline or equivalent experience required
  • 6+ years of experience in software engineering with a deep focus on cloud operations, security, and DevOps.
  • 2+ years of running Kubernetes at scale and in production on public clouds
  • Proficiency in at least one modern programming language (e.g., Python, Java, Go, or Ruby).
  • Proven track record in designing and managing AWS infrastructure for SaaS applications.
  • Extensive experience with infrastructure as code tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation.
  • Strong knowledge of AWS services, including EC2, RDS, S3, VPC, IAM, and Lambda, among others.
  • Expertise in CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or equivalent.
  • Advanced skills in monitoring and logging tools such as CloudWatch, Prometheus, or Grafana.
  • Experience with Windows management tools and SQL is desirable
