Role Overview

We are seeking a highly experienced Senior AWS DevOps Engineer with deep, hands-on

expertise in AWS cloud infrastructure and DevOps practices.

recommendations.

Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab, and Argo

CD.

Manage containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes (AWS EKS

Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform (modules, remote state, best

practices).

Support cloud migration and modernization initiatives (on-premises to AWS).

Configure and manage monitoring, logging, and alerting systems.

Handle production incidents, root cause analysis (RCA), and operational

improvements.

Ensure security, compliance, and cost optimization across AWS environments.
