• Implement logging, alerting, and observability best practices
• Manage networking, security groups, IAM roles, and secrets securely
• Drive cost optimization strategies in AWS
• Collaborate with developers to improve development-to-production workflows
• Participate in on-call rotation and incident resolution

Your profile

• 5+ years in a DevOps, SRE, or similar role
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS services (EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, API Gateway, RDS, S3, CloudFront, etc.)
• Proven experience with AWS CDK for Infrastructure as Code
• Proficiency with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, CodeBuild, CodePipeline, etc.)
• Good scripting skills (TypeScript, Python, or Bash)
• Solid knowledge of Docker and container orchestration (ECS, EKS, or Kubernetes)
