Job Title: DevOps Engineer Position Type: Full-Time, Remote Working Hours: U.S. client business hours (with flexibility for deployments, incident response, and on-call rotations) About the Role: Our client is seeking a DevOps Engineer to build, maintain, and optimize infrastructure and deployment pipelines. This role requires expertise in cloud platforms, automation, monitoring, and CI/CD. The DevOps Engineer ensures systems are secure, scalable, and reliable, enabling development teams to ship code quickly and safely. Responsibilities: Infrastructure Management: - Provision and manage infrastructure on AWS, GCP, or Azure. - Implement Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation. - Configure networking, storage, and compute resources to scale with demand. CI/CD Pipelines: - Build and maintain pipelines with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or CircleCI. - Automate builds, tests, and deployments across multiple environments. - Ensure rollback strategies and zero-downtime deployments. Containerization & Orchestration: - Manage Docker containers and Kubernetes clusters. - Deploy microservices and monitor cluster health. - Optimize cost and performance for containerized workloads. Monitoring & Incident Response: - Implement observability with Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or New Relic. - Configure logging and alerting pipelines (ELK stack, Splunk). - Participate in on-call rotations, performing root cause analysis post-incident. Security & Compliance: - Apply cloud security best practices (IAM, least privilege, encryption). - Support SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, or GDPR compliance in infrastructure. - Run vulnerability scans and patch systems proactively. Collaboration & Process Improvement: - Partner with developers to streamline deployments and remove bottlenecks. - Document infrastructure, pipelines, and workflows for team knowledge. - Identify opportunities for automation and performance optimization. What Makes You a Perfect Fit: - Problem solver who thrives at the intersection of development and operations. - Calm and methodical in high-pressure incident scenarios. - Passionate about automation, scalability, and reliability. - Strong communicator who bridges technical and business needs.
