Description

We are partnering with an organization seeking a DevOps Engineer to help drive cloud deployment automation, release engineering, and platform modernization initiatives. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building scalable CI/CD pipelines, improving deployment reliability, and supporting modern cloud-native application delivery.

The ideal candidate will bring strong experience in AWS-based environments, infrastructure automation, release engineering, and backend database technologies while thriving in a collaborative, fast-paced engineering culture.

What You'll Be Doing

Release Engineering & Pipeline Development

• Design, build, and maintain scalable CI/CD pipelines using AWS, Terraform, and GitHub Actions
• Support deployments for serverless and containerized applications
• Automate release processes to improve reliability, scalability, and deployment speed
• Manage infrastructure-as-code and cloud provisioning efforts
• Implement automated validation, regression testing, and deployment quality checks
• Support relational and NoSQL database-backed applications, including:
• Oracle
• MySQL
• PostgreSQL
• DynamoDB
• Monitor deployment health, identify anomalies, and improve operational stability
• Partner with internal and external teams to customize data feeds and mappings

Security & Automation

• Apply automated solutions for:
• WAF management
• Framework upgrades
• Dependency updates
• Security patching
• Promote DevSecOps best practices throughout the development lifecycle
• Improve automation around compliance, monitoring, and deployment governance

Project Delivery & Technical Contribution

• Independently manage and deliver small-to-medium technical projects end-to-end
• Participate in requirements gathering, solution design, testing, deployment, and post-production support
• Contribute technical expertise to larger enterprise initiatives and cross-functional programs
• Create and maintain technical documentation and operational procedures
• Leverage AI-assisted development tools such as Claude and GitHub Copilot to accelerate delivery and analysis workflows

Requirements

• Strong understanding of deployment automation, infrastructure-as-code, and release management best practices
• Experience supporting modern application architectures including serverless and containerized applications

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with monitoring, alerting, and operational tooling
• Exposure to DevSecOps practices and cloud security automation
• Experience working in Agile or product-oriented engineering teams
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
• Ability to balance hands-on technical work with project ownership and delivery

What Stands Out

• Opportunity to modernize cloud deployment and release engineering practices
• Highly collaborative engineering environment
• Exposure to modern tooling, automation, and AI-assisted development workflows
• Ability to influence CI/CD strategy and operational excellence initiatives
• Mix of hands-on engineering and project ownership responsibilities
