About the Role
We are an cutting edge technology company preparing multiple cloud-based software products for production deployment. We are looking for a hands-on AWS DevOps / Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to design, deploy, secure, monitor, and maintain our staging and production environments.
This is not a documentation-only role. We need someone who can understand a real product stack, propose a practical AWS architecture, implement it, troubleshoot it, secure it, and support it after deployment.
Additional product details will be shared only after screening and NDA.
Responsibilities
Design and implement AWS staging and production infrastructure.
Deploy containerized backend, frontend, worker, and API services.
Work with ECS on EC2 and/or EKS depending on the approved architecture.
Set up CI/CD pipelines for application deployments.
Configure production-grade networking, routing, load balancing, DNS, SSL/TLS, and security groups.
Configure and manage RDS databases, backups, restore procedures, and monitoring.
Configure Redis or equivalent caching/queue infrastructure.
Set up object storage, lifecycle policies, encryption, and access controls.
Manage IAM roles, policies, Secrets Manager, SSM Parameter Store, and KMS.
Implement monitoring, logging, alerts, dashboards, health checks, and incident-response workflows.
Create rollback, disaster-recovery, and restore-test procedures.
Prepare infrastructure-as-code using Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK, or similar tools.
Optimize AWS costs while maintaining reliability and security.
Document the infrastructure clearly enough for another engineer to operate it.
Work with backend, frontend, and product teams across time zones.
Required Skills
Strong hands-on AWS experience.
Production experience with ECS on EC2 and/or EKS.
Strong Docker and container deployment experience.
Linux server administration experience.
Experience with RDS, preferably MySQL and PostgreSQL.
Experience with Redis or similar queue/cache systems.
Experience with CI/CD pipelines.
Experience with AWS networking: VPC, subnets, routing, NAT, ALB, NLB, Route 53, ACM, and security groups.
Experience with IAM, Secrets Manager, SSM, KMS, and secure credential handling.
Experience with CloudWatch logs, metrics, alarms, and dashboards.
Ability to troubleshoot failed deployments, networking issues, IAM permissions, container crashes, database connectivity, and scaling problems.
Ability to create a practical architecture plan and then implement it.
Strongly Preferred
Experience deploying Python/FastAPI or similar backend services.
Experience with WebSocket-based production services.
Experience with Celery or similar background worker systems.
Experience with ML/API services or high-throughput API workloads.
Experience with repository, CI runner, or developer-platform infrastructure.
Experience securing build systems and avoiding unsafe Docker socket exposure.
Experience with Terraform.
Experience working in startup environments where ownership, speed, and clarity matter.
What We Do Not Want
Please do not apply if your experience is mainly:
writing architecture documents without implementation;
creating diagrams but not deploying production systems;
basic EC2 setup only;
WordPress or simple website hosting only;
copying generic AWS templates without understanding the system;
requiring step-by-step instructions for every task.
This role requires real ownership.
Working Style
We need someone who communicates clearly, gives realistic timelines, raises blockers early, and completes work without constant follow-up.
You should be able to explain infrastructure decisions in practical terms and balance cost, reliability, security, and speed.
Confidentiality
This role may involve access to private code, infrastructure, product architecture, and sensitive company materials. NDA and confidentiality agreement will be required before detailed product information is shared.
