Job Description
Senior DevOps Engineer
ItsaCheckmate
• Design, implement, and maintain cloud infrastructure on AWS using Terraform and Ansible, following existing conventions and extending them thoughtfully. • Manage and support AWS services across our stack including EC2, ECS, RDS, S3, IAM, VPC, CloudFront, and related services. • Maintain and improve infrastructure-as-code practices, ensuring consistency, reproducibility, and auditability across environments. • Participate in capacity planning and cost optimization, identifying opportunities to improve resource efficiency without compromising reliability. • Build, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or equivalent) to support reliable, automated delivery across development, staging, and production environments. • Work with engineering teams to improve build speed, deployment safety, and rollback capabilities. • Support blue/green and canary deployment strategies as appropriate for our platform needs. • Participate in on-call rotation and own production incidents end-to-end — from detection through root cause analysis, resolution, and post-mortem. • Use observability tooling (Datadog, CloudWatch, or equivalent) to monitor system health, establish alerting thresholds, and proactively surface issues before they impact customers. • Contribute to runbooks, incident documentation, and process improvements that reduce mean time to resolution over time. • Apply security best practices across infrastructure — IAM policy scoping, secrets management, network segmentation, vulnerability patching, and access controls. • Support compliance and audit requirements by maintaining clear documentation and ensuring infrastructure changes are tracked and reviewable. • Work closely with the senior engineer on the team to learn existing systems deeply and contribute to architectural improvements over time. • Proactively identify areas for improvement — tooling, automation gaps, manual processes, reliability risks — and raise them constructively with the team. • Document infrastructure clearly so that other engineers can understand and operate the systems they depend on.
Job Requirements
- 8+ years of professional DevOps, infrastructure, or platform engineering experience in production environments.
- Hands-on proficiency with Terraform for infrastructure provisioning — writing modules, managing state, and working across environments.
- Deep familiarity with AWS — including compute (EC2, ECS), storage (S3, RDS), networking (VPC, Route 53, CloudFront), and IAM.
- Experience with Ansible for configuration management and automation across server fleets or container environments.
- Strong understanding of CI/CD principles and hands-on experience building or maintaining pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, or equivalent).
- Experience with Linux system administration, shell scripting (Bash), and general infrastructure debugging.
- Demonstrated ability to work within an established infrastructure — understanding existing design decisions, following conventions, and improving incrementally rather than replacing wholesale.
- Solid grasp of security fundamentals: IAM least-privilege, secrets management, network access controls, and patching hygiene.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English — able to collaborate asynchronously across time zones and document work clearly.
- BSc in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience.
- Must be comfortable working in 2 PM to 11 PM IST.

Senior DevSecOps Engineer
Bravo17 DigitalBravo17 is a growing federal digital services firm. We operate with high accountability, lean teams, and a strong sense of ownership. This role requires comfort with ambiguity, initiative, and a bias toward action.
Role Description We are seeking a visionary Senior DevSecOps Engineer to architect, secure, and scale cloud infrastructure. With a minimum of 4 years in the field, you aren't just managing servers; you are building the automated "paved road" that allows developers to ship code securely and rapidly. In this role, you will bridge the gap between development, security, and operations. You will be responsible for moving security "left" in our CI/CD pipelines, ensuring that cloud-native applications are resilient by design. As a Lead, you will influence the long-term technical roadmap. - Cloud Architecture & IaC: Architect, implement, and maintain highly available, fault-tolerant, and multi-cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI) using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible. - DevSecOps & Security Leadership: Lead the DevSecOps strategy, moving security "left" by integrating automated security scanning (SAST, DAST), container security, and compliance checks directly into CI/CD pipelines. - CI/CD Orchestration: Lead the evolution of deployment pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) to enable secure, rapid, and zero-downtime application deployments. - Cloud Governance: Establish and manage comprehensive cloud governance, including Identity and Access Management (IAM), encryption (at rest/in transit), and cloud-native security toolsets. - Site Reliability Engineering (SRE): Implement robust observability (monitoring, logging, alerting) with tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and CloudWatch. Drive continuous improvement by leading incident response and post-mortem processes. - Capacity Planning & Reliability: Collaborate with development teams to embed reliability into application design, and lead capacity planning to forecast resource needs and ensure effective system scaling. - Technical Leadership & Documentation: Provide technical leadership and mentorship to DevOps engineers, conducting code reviews and promoting a culture of continuous learning. Author detailed technical documentation for all development and operational processes. Qualifications - Minimum 4+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or Cloud Engineering, with at least 2 years focused specifically on security. - BS or equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Information Systems, or a related technical degree. - Preferred Certifications: CompTIA Security+ or equivalent (IAT-2). Requirements - Deep mastery of AWS; experience managing multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud environments is required. - Expert-level knowledge of Kubernetes (K8s) orchestration, including securing container images and runtime environments. - Advanced scripting skills in Python, Go, or Bash. - Deep understanding of CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Argo CD). - Solid understanding of security frameworks and compliance standards (e.g., SOC2, ISO 27001, NIST, or CIS benchmarks). - Proven ability to explain complex security risks to non-technical stakeholders and advocate for best practices. - US citizenship required. - Top Secret clearance. Benefits - Competitive compensation. - Health and welfare benefits. - Flexible ways of working. - Generous time off policies including vacation/PTO, sick leave, and parental leave.
