Position Overview

The Senior DevOps Engineer plays a key role in drive technical leadership within our innovative IT organization. This full-time role focuses on architecting and securing DevOps pipelines, cloud infrastructure, applications, and database environments, with a strong emphasis on AWS, including EKS, AWS Control Tower, Azure AKS and Azure cloud. The ideal candidate will have 8-10 years of DevOps experience, specializing in infrastructure, applications (Java, Node.js, .NET), and databases (MSSQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL) hosted on AWS RDS and Azure. You will lead the design and implementation of secure, scalable cloud solutions, leveraging AWS EKS for container orchestration, AWS Control Tower for governance, and infrastructure-as-code practices using Terraform. Expertise in ingress/egress network firewalls, security tools (e.g., Snyk, Orca, Nexus), and SOC controls is essential to ensure robust and compliant systems. This role will collaborate with development, operations, and security teams to champion secure and efficient DevOps practices, while providing technical mentorship and strategic direction.

Core Responsibilities

• Lead the design, implementation, and optimization of secure DevOps pipelines and infrastructure in AWS and Azure, with a focus on AWS EKS for Kubernetes-based workloads and AWS Control Tower for multi-account governance, adhering to cloud-native security and scalability best practices.
• Provide technical leadership for AWS EKS, overseeing cluster architecture, auto-scaling, security configurations (e.g., RBAC, Pod Security Policies), and integration with CI/CD pipelines for containerized applications.
• Architect and manage AWS Control Tower to enforce governance, compliance, and security policies across multi-account AWS environments, ensuring standardized account management and guardrails.
• Drive infrastructure-as-code (IaC) initiatives using Terraform to provision and manage AWS and Azure resources, ensuring consistency, reproducibility, and security.
• Secure AWS RDS instances hosting MSSQL, MySQL, and PostgreSQL databases, implementing encryption, access controls, auditing, and vulnerability management.
• Identify and resolve security vulnerabilities in infrastructure, applications (Java, Node.js, .NET), and database systems, promoting secure coding and configuration practices.
• Configure and manage ingress/egress network firewalls (e.g., AWS WAF, Azure Firewall) to safeguard cloud, on-premises, and database environments from unauthorized access and threats.
• Leverage security tools (e.g., Snyk, Orca, Nexus) to integrate security into the DevOps lifecycle, automate vulnerability scanning, and manage dependencies.
• Implement and maintain SOC controls and audit trails to ensure compliance with industry regulations and security standards.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate security best practices into application development and deployment processes.
• Mentor junior engineers and promote a culture of security and operational excellence.
