Senior DevOps Engineer

About the role

Snapsheet is building out its DevOps function, and this is a key hire in that journey. As a Senior DevOps Engineer reporting to the Director of IT, you will own the infrastructure layer underpinning our AWS cloud platform — including cloud networking, database infrastructure, availability architecture, security hardening, and operational automation. You'll serve as the infrastructure platform partner for our Full Stack engineers and a close collaborator with SRE, which owns CI/CD, developer tooling, and observability.

Responsibilities

• Own infrastructure architecture and standards — naming, tagging, resource sizing, lifecycle management, and documentation — while auditing and closing gaps across environments
• Own internal and customer-facing cloud networking (VPCs, subnets, security groups, Transit Gateway, VPN/Direct Connect) and define standards for secure inter-service connectivity
• Manage database infrastructure including clustering, failover, encryption, backups, and performance tuning, with multi-AZ high-availability strategies to meet recovery objectives
• Design and maintain high-availability and disaster recovery strategies (RTO/RPO targets, runbooks, tested recovery processes), plus build cost/FinOps reporting to drive AWS spend visibility
• Administer AWS IAM (roles, policies, least-privilege, cross-account access) and enforce infrastructure security baselines in partnership with IT Security
• Co-own Terraform HCL infrastructure with SRE, writing modular, production-grade IaC and engaging with evolving workflow tooling (Terragrunt, Spacelift, etc.)
• Manage IT-layer AWS footprint (RPA server infrastructure, VDI) and co-own GitHub administration, and partner with Full Stack engineers on AWS service selection (Lambda, Fargate, App Runner, ElastiCache)

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, infrastructure, or platform engineering roles preferred
• Deep hands-on experience with core AWS services: EC2, ECS/Fargate, Lambda, RDS/Aurora (MySQL & PostgreSQL), DynamoDB, ElastiCache, OpenSearch, CloudFront, VPC, IAM, Secrets Manager
• Expert-level Terraform (HCL) experience, including environment orchestration and workflow automation/state management best practices
• Strong networking background: VPCs, routing, security groups, NACLs, Transit Gateway, VPN, and Route 53
• Security expertise across IAM policies, SCPs, VPC isolation, GuardDuty, Security Hub, and encryption standards
• Experience with Docker image hardening, ECS/Fargate deployment patterns, and scripting proficiency in Python, Bash, or Ruby
• Working proficiency in Ruby on Rails and TypeScript to understand application requirements and troubleshoot AWS interactions
