About the Role

We are looking for a DevOps Engineer with strong AWS expertise to build and operate our company-wide event bus platform. You will extend our existing real-time event monitoring system into a scalable, self-service platform that enables teams across the organization to produce and consume events reliably.

What You'll Do

• Build & Operate Infrastructure: Design, deploy, and maintain AWS infrastructure for a company-wide event streaming platform using Infrastructure-as-Code (AWS CDK)

• Automate Everything: Create CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, and infrastructure provisioning workflows

• Scale the Platform: Architect highly available, fault-tolerant systems using AWS services (ECS, DynamoDB, VPC, IAM, Lambda, CloudWatch)

• Enable Teams: Build self-service tooling and documentation so other teams can onboard to the event platform independently

• Ensure Security: Implement IAM policies, network security, secrets management, and compliance controls

• Monitor & Optimize: Set up observability with Datadog, establish SLOs, and optimize infrastructure costs

• Collaborate: Work closely with development teams to understand requirements and translate them into reliable infrastructure

Your Profile

• 3+ years in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or SRE

• Strong hands-on AWS experience (compute, networking, storage, security, monitoring)

• Proficient with Infrastructure as Code: AWS CDK (preferred), Terraform, or CloudFormation

• Experience building CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar)

• Comfortable with Docker, Python scripting, and Linux administration

• Nice to have: Kafka or event streaming platforms, Kubernetes/EKS, Datadog, FinOps experience, internal developer platforms, AWS certifications

What Success Looks Like

• Infrastructure is fully automated, reproducible, and version-controlled

• Zero-downtime deployments with robust rollback capabilities

• Comprehensive monitoring and alerting with clear runbooks

• Self-service capabilities that reduce bottlenecks for other teams

• Secure, cost-efficient infrastructure that scales with demand

• Clear documentation enabling team autonomy
