AWS DevOps Engineer

If you want to work on high impact global systems for a pioneering company located in over 100 countries, this is your chance.

The role requires deep hands-on experience with AWS (EC2, ECS/EKS, RDS, S3, VPC, IAM, CloudFront, Lambda); deep experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred, Jenkins); experience with monitoring and alerting solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, ELK/OpenSearch); hands on experience implementing security controls in CI/CD pipelines (SAST, DAST, dependency scanning).

The right person for this role is a pragmatic doer - you bias towards action and delivering results over endless discussions; comfortable working in agile teams (Scrum/SAFe) alongside developers, architects, and product owners; has a strong sense of ownership - if it's broken, it's your problem until it's fixed; has the abbility to prioritize ruthlessly - you know what matters and focus on high-impact work
