Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain scalable AWS infrastructure using AWS CDK as our primary framework, establishing reusable construct libraries and multi-account environment patterns.
• Manage core cloud architecture across EKS, ECS, Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFront, Route 53, VPC networking, RDS, and IAM.
• Evaluate and support future infrastructure initiatives utilizing Terraform as operational needs evolve.
• Partner closely with application developers to troubleshoot infrastructure issues, optimize local development workflows, and streamline service integration.
• Establish self-service deployment patterns and shift-left practices that make secure, reliable software delivery easy for engineering teams to adopt.
• Produce clear, actionable architecture diagrams, operational runbooks, and developer documentation to accelerate cross-team onboarding and execution.
• Architect, harden, and optimize continuous delivery pipelines using GitHub Actions to support rapid, zero-downtime deployments.
• Embed automated security controls—including container scanning (Trivy), dependency checks, secrets detection, and SAST/DAST tooling—directly into CI/CD workflows without introducing unnecessary developer friction.
• Enforce least-privilege access, manage key rotation, and maintain technical alignment with SOC 2 Type II and PCI-DSS compliance requirements.
• Deepen platform visibility using Datadog for APM, centralized logging, custom dashboards, proactive alerting, and threat detection.
• Write clean, maintainable automation scripts in Python and Bash to handle vulnerability patching, operational tasks, and cloud management.
• Participate in system monitoring, lead post-incident post-mortems, and drive long-term remediation strategies to eliminate recurring failure modes.

Requirements

• 5+ years in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Cloud Infrastructure roles, with a track record of independent execution in production environments.
• Strong, direct production experience using AWS CDK (TypeScript or Python).
• Advanced experience with core AWS services, networking, and container management using Docker and Kubernetes (EKS).
• Strong proficiency with GitHub Actions, along with hands-on scripting abilities in Python and Bash.
• Practical experience with Datadog and integrating security/compliance controls into pipelines.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience with Terraform.
• Background in fintech, payment processing, PCI-DSS compliance, or SOC 2 environments.
