Job Title: AWS DevOps Engineer (Mid-Level) Location: Hybrid Role Overview As an AWS DevOps Engineer, youll own the end-to-end infrastructure lifecyclefrom design and provisioning through deployment, monitoring, and optimization. Youll collaborate closely with development teams to implement Infrastructure as Code, build robust CI/CD pipelines, enforce security and compliance guardrails, and integrate next-gen tools like Google Gemini for automated code-quality and security checks. Key Responsibilities Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Design, build, and maintain Terraform (or CloudFormation) modules for VPCs, ECS/EKS clusters, RDS, ElastiCache, S3, IAM, KMS, and networking across multiple Availability Zones. Produce clear architecture diagrams (Mermaid or draw.io) and documentation. CI/CD Pipeline Development: Implement GitHub Actions or AWS CodePipeline/CodeBuild workflows to run linting, unit tests, Terraform validation, Docker builds, and automated deployments (zero-downtime rolling updates) to ECS/EKS. Integrate unit tests (Jest, pytest) and configuration-driven services (SSM Parameter Store). Monitoring & Alerting: Define custom CloudWatch metrics (latency, error rates), create dashboards, and centralize application logs in CloudWatch Logs with structured outputs and PII filtration. Implement CloudWatch Alarms with SNS notifications for key thresholds (CPU, replica lag, 5xx errors). Security & Compliance: Enable and configure GuardDuty and AWS Config rules (e.g., public-CIDR security groups, unencrypted S3 or RDS). Enforce least-privilege IAM policies, key-management with KMS, and secure secret storage in SSM Parameter Store. Innovative Tooling Integration: Integrate Google Gemini (or similar) into the CI pipeline for automated Terraform security scans and generation of actionable security reports as PR comments. Documentation & Collaboration: Maintain clear README files, module documentation, and step-by-step deployment guides. Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and post-mortems to continuously improve our DevOps practices. Required Qualifications Experience: 3+ years in AWS DevOps or Site Reliability Engineering roles, designing and operating production-grade cloud infrastructure. Technical Skills: Terraform (preferred) or CloudFormation for IaC. Container orchestration: ECS/Fargate or EKS with zero-downtime deployments. CI/CD: GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline, and CodeBuild (linting, testing, Docker, Terraform). Monitoring: CloudWatch Dashboards, custom metrics, log centralization, and alarm configurations. Security & Compliance: IAM policy design, KMS, GuardDuty, AWS Config, SSM Parameter Store. Scripting: Python, Bash, or Node.js for automation and Lambda functions. Soft Skills: Strong problem-solving mindset and attention to detail. Excellent written and verbal communication for documentation and cross-team collaboration. Ability to own projects end-to-end and deliver under tight timelines. Preferred Qualifications Hands-on experience integrating third-party security or code-analysis APIs (e.g., Google Gemini, Prisma Cloud). Familiarity with monitoring and observability best practices, including custom metric creation. Exposure to multi-cloud environments or hybrid cloud architectures. Certification: AWS Certified DevOps Engineer Professional or AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate.
