Project - the aim you'll have

We are looking for a DevOps Engineer (L3/L4) to join a growing Platform Engineering team focused on supporting software engineers across the organization.

Unlike traditional infrastructure roles, this position is highly customer-oriented. You'll serve as the first point of contact for internal engineering teams, helping troubleshoot cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, deployment, and platform-related issues while partnering with a back-end platform team for more complex challenges.

Beyond day-to-day support, you'll proactively identify recurring problems, automate repetitive tasks, and continuously improve the internal developer experience. As the platform evolves, you'll also contribute to larger infrastructure initiatives, helping shape the company's cloud strategy and build reliable, scalable AWS-based systems.

This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy solving technical problems, collaborating closely with software developers, and balancing operational excellence with hands-on engineering.

• Experience writing Infrastructure as Code using Terraform.
• Strong scripting skills using Python and Bash.
• Experience supporting Linux-based environments.

• Strong troubleshooting mindset with a customer-first approach.
• Comfortable working collaboratively across engineering teams.
• Ability to work Central or Eastern US business hours.

Nice to have

• Experience supporting internal developer platforms or Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) environments.
• Experience with Kubernetes (EKS), ECS, Docker, and container orchestration.

• Experience with observability platforms such as DataDog, OpenTelemetry, ELK Stack, New Relic, or Sentry.

• Serve as the first line of technical support, escalating complex infrastructure issues when appropriate.
• Troubleshoot deployment, networking, infrastructure, and CI/CD challenges.
• Perform root cause analysis and implement long-term solutions to recurring problems.
• Identify opportunities to automate manual operational tasks and improve engineering workflows.
• Build, maintain, and improve Infrastructure as Code using Terraform.
• Develop automation and tooling using Python and Bash.
• Design, deploy, and maintain scalable AWS cloud infrastructure.
• Collaborate closely with software engineers to understand platform needs and translate them into technical solutions.
• Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and architectural improvements.
