Cloud DevOps Automation Engineer

About the role

The Cloud DevOps Automation Engineer is responsible for building and operating automation-first cloud platforms across AWS environments. This role unifies cloud infrastructure, DevOps practices, and scaffolding frameworks through robust automation to enable scalable, secure, and efficient service delivery. Acting as the bridge between infrastructure, platform engineering, and developer experience, the engineer will design systems where automation is the primary control plane—powering infrastructure provisioning, EKS operations, CI/CD pipelines, and self-service service onboarding.

Key responsibilities

• Design and implement end-to-end automation frameworks for AWS infrastructure, EKS platforms, and application delivery
• Own and operate AWS multi-account environments using AFT and CFCT, driven by automation
• Build and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows
• Develop reusable scaffolds and templates that are fully automation-enabled
• Design and automate AWS infrastructure provisioning including VPCs, EC2s, EKS, subnets, routing, and security groups
• Automate lifecycle management of Amazon EKS clusters and implement automated deployment patterns using Helm and GitOps
• Develop and maintain IaC-driven automation frameworks using Terraform and AWS CloudFormation
• Design and implement fully automated CI/CD pipelines using Bitbucket Pipelines
• Automate observability including logging, metrics, and alerting
• Operate AWS environments with a focus on automation-driven operations and participate in on-call rotations and incident response
