If you’re a DevOps engineer who relishes the challenge of transforming chaotic infrastructure into a seamless, automated powerhouse, this is the role for you. We need an AWS and DevOps virtuoso who thrives on ensuring systems are not just operational, but optimized for peak performance. This role involves harmonizing a collection of diverse products into a unified, efficient AWS ecosystem, complete with innovative monitoring and automation strategies that minimize incidents.
Unlike typical roles that focus on a single tech stack, you’ll have the opportunity to merge and enhance multiple systems without causing disruption. Rather than isolating databases, you’ll strategically consolidate them to maximize cost-efficiency and manageability across our portfolio. This isn’t about maintaining what’s already there; it’s about envisioning and crafting a superior environment from a fragmented one.
You’ll be at the helm of infrastructure migrations, AI-driven automation, performance tuning, database transitions, and cost management. This involves diagnosing and resolving issues, orchestrating seamless cloud migrations with minimal downtime, and leveraging AI/ML to automate significant portions of your role. You’ll wield genuine decision-making power regarding infrastructure choices, bypassing the need for approvals from those less in-the-know.
If you’re a self-reliant problem-solver who delights in streamlining complex systems for flawless performance, you’ll thrive here. However, if you require constant guidance, feel overwhelmed by multiple tech stacks, or prefer starting from scratch rather than refining chaos, this may not be the fit for you. If you’re ready to take charge of a high-impact infrastructure position with the freedom to build, streamline, and automate on a grand scale, we want to hear from you!
