About the Role:

We are seeking a DevOps Engineer to lead the migration of multiple applications and services into a new AWS environment. This role requires a strategic thinker with hands-on technical expertise, a deep understanding of DevOps best practices, and the ability to guide and mentor other engineers. You will work closely with architects and technical leads to design, plan, and execute cloud-native solutions with a strong emphasis on automation, scalability, security, and performance.

Key Responsibilities:

• 
  Take full ownership of the migration process to AWS, including planning and execution.

  Mentor and guide a team of DevOps Engineers, assigning tasks and ensuring quality execution.

• 
  Design and implement CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, with an emphasis on security, maintainability, and scalability.

• 
  Integrate static and dynamic code analysis tools (e.g., SonarQube) into the CI/CD process.

• 
  Manage secure access to AWS services using IAM roles, least privilege principles, and container-based identity (e.g., workload identity).

• 
  Create and manage Helm charts for Kubernetes deployments across multiple environments.

• 
  Conduct data migrations between S3 buckets, PostgreSQL databases, and other data stores, ensuring data integrity and minimal downtime.

• 
  Troubleshoot and resolve infrastructure and deployment issues, both in local containers and Kubernetes clusters.

• 
  Jenkins pipelines (DSL), SonarQube, Nexus or Artifactory

Candidate Expectations:

The ideal candidate should be able to:

• 
  Explain best practices around CI/CD pipeline design and secure AWS integrations.

  Describe container lifecycle, troubleshooting steps, and security hardening practices.

• 
  Detail Kubernetes architecture, Helm chart design, and access control configurations.

• 
  Show a deep understanding of AWS IAM, networking, service integrations, and cost-conscious design.

• 
  Discuss TLS certificate lifecycle, trusted CA usage, and implementation in cloud-native environments.

Preferred Qualifications:

• 
  AWS Certified DevOps Engineer or equivalent certifications.

• 
  Experience in FinTech, SaaS, or other regulated industries.

• 
  Knowledge of cost optimization strategies in cloud environments.

• 
  Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies.
