Acting as a key technical enabler, you will ensure systems are reliable, secure, observable, and cost-efficient. The position requires strong architectural thinking combined with hands-on engineering execution in complex cloud environments. You will collaborate closely with engineering, security, and architecture leadership to shape governance and operational excellence. This is a high-impact role where your work directly accelerates delivery across multiple teams while strengthening system resilience.

• Design, build, and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure on AWS using Terraform, Docker, and infrastructure-as-code best practices.
• Own and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines in GitLab to ensure secure, efficient, and reliable software delivery workflows.
• Implement and evolve DevSecOps practices including automated security scanning, vulnerability management, and compliance enforcement.
• Define and enforce cloud governance frameworks, cost optimization strategies, and architectural guardrails across engineering teams.
• Develop observability, monitoring, and alerting systems to improve system reliability, performance, and incident response.
• Collaborate with security leadership to ensure audit readiness, ITGC compliance, and control framework implementation.
• Enable developer productivity through automation, self-service tooling, and standardized deployment patterns.
• Contribute to architecture decisions and engineering standards in partnership with technical leadership.
• Mentor engineers on cloud infrastructure, DevOps practices, and operational excellence.

Requirements:

• 7+ years of experience in DevOps, platform engineering, or infrastructure roles with strong AWS expertise.
• Solid experience with Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation.
• Strong background in containerization technologies including Docker and orchestration tools such as ECS or EKS.
• Experience with serverless architectures such as AWS Lambda and Step Functions.
• Proven expertise in CI/CD pipeline design and implementation, ideally using GitLab.
• Strong understanding of DevSecOps principles, including security automation and compliance practices.
• Deep knowledge of AWS cloud governance, cost management, and architectural best practices.
• Ability to translate business and technical requirements into scalable infrastructure solutions.
• Strong analytical thinking, communication skills, and ability to influence stakeholders.
• Experience working in Agile environments and managing complex delivery timelines.
• Background in regulated industries or financial services is an advantage.
• AWS certifications are considered a strong asset.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation aligned with senior technical leadership roles.

• Flexible work environment with remote collaboration.
• Opportunity to shape enterprise-scale DevSecOps and cloud platform strategy.
• Exposure to modern AWS-native architectures and advanced infrastructure practices.
• High-impact role influencing engineering velocity, security, and scalability across the organization.
• Collaborative environment working closely with engineering, architecture, and security leadership teams.
