We are looking for a hands-on AWS DevOps Subject Matter Expert (SME) to design, build, and operate secure, scalable CI/CD and platform automation across AWS. The ideal candidate will lead DevOps and DevSecOps practices, implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC), enable self-service PaaS capabilities for application teams (containers and serverless), and drive reliability, observability, and operational excellence for production workloads.

Total Experience - 12 to 15 years of proven experience. This role emphasizes end-to-end DevOps ownership across build, release, deployment, and run operations. The ideal candidate will support architecture implementation, troubleshoot production issues, and drive CI/CD pipeline efficiency across cloud-native environments.

Key Responsibilities:

- Enable container platform delivery and operations on Amazon EKS (cluster add-ons, ingress, autoscaling, upgrades, multi-tenant consumption, and release governance)




- Automate cloud platform provisioning and application delivery using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and reusable modules/templates:
- Terraform, AWS CDK, and CloudFormation (with proper state, drift, and change management)
- Implement, optimize, and govern CI/CD pipelines including build/test automation, artifact management, promotion strategies, and approvals:
- Jenkins, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, and AWS native tooling (CodePipeline/CodeBuild/CodeDeploy)
- Own production support for deployment and platform issues; perform root-cause analysis and drive continuous improvements via automation and runbooks
- Partner with architects, security, and product teams to define DevOps standards, reference architectures, and platform roadmaps
- Strong scripting/programming skills (Python, Bash,) and experience building automation around AWS APIs
- Drive DevSecOps controls in pipelines and platforms (secrets management, IAM least privilege, policy-as-code, image scanning, SAST/DAST integration)
- Strong AWS foundations: VPC, Route 53, Transit Gateway, WAF, security groups/NACLs, IAM, KMS, and multi-account networking patterns

Qualifications:

- AWS Certified DevOps Engineer Professional (preferred)
- AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate or Professional
