(2252) Senior Devops Engineer (aw Sn)

Key Responsibilities

We are seeking an experienced Senior AWS DevOps Engineer to join our Infrastructure and Cloud Engineering team. You will own the design, implementation, and maintenance of our multi-cloud Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) framework, with a focus on AWS, CI/CD automation, and data platform orchestration (Snowflake + dbt). This strategic role bridges infrastructure engineering and data platform operations and requires expertise in both traditional infrastructure provisioning and modern data engineering practices.

• Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) & Cloud Architecture — Design, develop, and maintain Terraform and CloudFormation stacks for AWS, following enterprise-grade standards.

• Architect multi-stack, multi-environment deployments with clear separation of concerns and independent lifecycles; implement stack governance, naming conventions (environment-environment-project-stackname-resource patterns), and AWS resource tagging strategies.

• Manage state files in S3 with proper locking, versioning, and disaster recovery procedures; own provider version pinning, dependency management, and upgrade strategies.

• CI/CD Pipeline Development — Design and implement Azure DevOps (ADO) pipelines for infrastructure deployment, including approval workflows and environment promotion gates.

• Build release orchestration pipelines for multi-stack, coordinated deployments with distributed locking and idempotency; create and maintain deployment templates (Terraform, CloudFormation, Docker, Assets) used across multiple projects.

• Implement infrastructure validation, testing, and pre-deployment compliance checks.

• Data Platform Operations (Snowflake + dbt) — Manage Snowflake baseline infrastructure (accounts, databases, roles, warehouses, security policies).

• Architect and maintain dbt Cloud integration with ADO, including CI schema isolation and deployment workflows; own data environment separation (dev/test/qa/prod) and role-based access control (RBAC).

• Support dbt project deployment pipelines, version management, and artifact handling.

• Docker & Container Management — Build and maintain Docker images for CI/CD tools, data processing, and infrastructure management.

• Implement image versioning, registry management (ECR), and artifact lifecycle policies; optimize Dockerfile patterns for security, performance, and reusability.

• Security & Compliance — Enforce least-privilege IAM policies across all infrastructure; implement encryption at rest and in transit for all data services.

• Manage credentials and secrets via AWS Secrets Manager and Azure DevOps libraries (never in code); ensure GxP/compliance tagging on resources and maintain audit trails.

• Conduct security reviews of infrastructure changes before deployment.

• Team Leadership & Governance — Mentor junior engineers on IaC best practices, AWS architecture, and CI/CD patterns; own framework evolution and contribute to architectural decision records (ADRs/DDRs).

• Establish and enforce coding standards, naming conventions, and deployment procedures; collaborate with project teams to standardize infrastructure patterns across the organization.

• Troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues and lead post-incident reviews.

Profile Requirements

========================

For this position, we are looking for someone with:

• Experience 7+ years hands-on experience with Terraform or CloudFormation (or both) in production AWS environments.

• 4+ years designing and implementing CI/CD pipelines, preferably with Azure DevOps or Jenkins.

• 3+ years with AWS services including: VPC, EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, IAM, CloudWatch, ECR.

• 2+ years with Docker and container orchestration experience.

• 2+ years working with data warehousing or analytics platforms (Snowflake preferred) or dbt.

• Strong understanding of Infrastructure-as-Code principles, modular architecture, and state management.

• Demonstrated experience with Git workflows, code review, and branch protection policies.

• *Technical Skills — Proficiency in: Terraform (HCL) — modules, remote state, workspaces, provider management; CloudFormation (YAML/JSON) or CDK; Azure DevOps (pipelines, service connections, variable groups, security); AWS IAM, security groups, VPCs, subnets, routing; Bash/shell scripting and Python for automation; SQL (for Snowflake schema design and RBAC); dbt (DAG, models, tests, deployments).

• Familiar with: Docker, container registries (ECR); infrastructure testing frameworks (Terratest, AWS CloudFormation testing); monitoring and logging (CloudWatch, Application Insights); secrets management (AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault); Snowflake architecture (multi-tenant, warehouses, roles, resource monitors).

• *Professional Qualities — Strong problem-solving skills with ability to debug infrastructure issues across multiple layers.

• Excellent communication skills; able to explain complex infrastructure decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Passion for automation and continuous improvement; experience working in cross-functional teams with data engineers, software engineers, and business analysts.

• Comfort with ambiguity and willingness to learn new tools/frameworks; attention to detail and commitment to security best practices.
