Description

• Design, build, and maintain a fully automated CI/CD pipeline to facilitate seamless code deployment from development to production environments. • Design, implement, and manage infrastructure as code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform and AWS CloudFormation to automate the provisioning and configuration of infrastructure resources in AWS. • Develop and implement automated processes for rapid creation and deployment of new environments (QA, developer, staging, demo, production) using IaC principles. • Build and manage deployment pipelines that support red-black/red-green deployment strategies to minimize downtime and ensure high availability during updates. • Utilize AWS native tools (e.g., CloudFormation, CloudWatch, IAM, Lambda, Aurora, SNS, SQS, EventBridge) to build scalable, resilient, and secure solutions. • Design and implement resilient infrastructure solutions that ensure high availability, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery capabilities. • Implement zero-trust security models to protect systems and data, ensuring that every access request is authenticated and authorized. • Implement monitoring and logging solutions (e.g., CloudWatch, ELK stack) to ensure the health, performance, and security of services, and troubleshoot issues proactively. • Develop automation scripts and tools using scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash) to automate repetitive tasks, streamline workflows, and improve operational efficiency. • Collaborate closely with development, QA, and other stakeholders to understand requirements, provide technical guidance, and ensure alignment on DevOps practices and standards. • Document infrastructure configurations, deployment processes, and best practices, and share knowledge and expertise with team members through documentation, presentations, and training sessions.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or related field; or equivalent practical experience. • 3+ years of experience in DevOps, system administration, software engineering, or related roles, with a focus on designing, implementing, and maintaining cloud-based infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines. • Strong understanding of AWS cloud computing concepts and services, with hands-on experience using AWS tools and services (e.g., EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM, CloudFormation, Lambda). • Experience with configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Chef, Puppet) and version control systems (e.g., Github), and experience managing code repositories, branching strategies, and code review processes. • Solid understanding of networking concepts, protocols, and security principles, with experience configuring and troubleshooting network infrastructure and security groups in AWS environments. • Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools and practices, such as CloudWatch and the ELK stack, and experience setting up monitoring dashboards, alerts, and automated responses. • Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash) and automation frameworks, with experience developing automation scripts, tools, and infrastructure as code templates. • Strong problem-solving skills and analytical thinking, with the ability to troubleshoot complex issues, perform root cause analysis, and implement effective solutions in a timely manner. • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team environment and communicate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
