Job description

We are partnering with an organization seeking a DevOps Engineer to help drive cloud deployment automation, release engineering, and platform modernization initiatives. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building scalable CI/CD pipelines, improving deployment reliability, and supporting modern cloud-native application delivery.

The ideal candidate will bring strong experience in AWS-based environments, infrastructure automation, release engineering, and backend database technologies while thriving in a collaborative, fast-paced engineering culture.

What You'll Be Doing

Release Engineering & Pipeline Development

  • Design, build, and maintain scalable CI/CD pipelines using AWS, Terraform, and GitHub Actions
  • Support deployments for serverless and containerized applications
  • Automate release processes to improve reliability, scalability, and deployment speed
  • Manage infrastructure-as-code and cloud provisioning efforts
  • Implement automated validation, regression testing, and deployment quality checks
  • Support relational and NoSQL database-backed applications, including:
  • Oracle
  • MySQL
  • PostgreSQL
  • DynamoDB
  • Monitor deployment health, identify anomalies, and improve operational stability
  • Partner with internal and external teams to customize data feeds and mappings

Security & Automation

  • Apply automated solutions for:
  • WAF management
  • Framework upgrades
  • Dependency updates
  • Security patching
  • Promote DevSecOps best practices throughout the development lifecycle
  • Improve automation around compliance, monitoring, and deployment governance

Project Delivery & Technical Contribution

  • Independently manage and deliver small-to-medium technical projects end-to-end
  • Participate in requirements gathering, solution design, testing, deployment, and post-production support
  • Contribute technical expertise to larger enterprise initiatives and cross-functional programs
  • Create and maintain technical documentation and operational procedures
  • Leverage AI-assisted development tools such as Claude and GitHub Copilot to accelerate delivery and analysis workflows

Requirements

  • 4+ years of Release Engineering experience supporting cloud-based application deployments
  • Hands-on experience designing and developing CI/CD pipelines in cloud environments
  • Strong experience with:
  • AWS
  • Terraform
  • GitHub Actions
  • Experience supporting backend database technologies including:
  • Oracle
  • MySQL
  • PostgreSQL
  • Strong understanding of deployment automation, infrastructure-as-code, and release management best practices
  • Experience supporting modern application architectures including serverless and containerized applications, * Experience with monitoring, alerting, and operational tooling
  • Exposure to DevSecOps practices and cloud security automation
  • Experience working in Agile or product-oriented engineering teams
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to balance hands-on technical work with project ownership and delivery

What Stands Out

  • Opportunity to modernize cloud deployment and release engineering practices
  • Highly collaborative engineering environment
  • Exposure to modern tooling, automation, and AI-assisted development workflows
  • Ability to influence CI/CD strategy and operational excellence initiatives
  • Mix of hands-on engineering and project ownership responsibilities

Ideal Background

This role is well-suited for a DevOps or Release Engineer who enjoys automating deployments, improving cloud infrastructure, solving operational challenges, and building scalable engineering processes that enable high-performing development teams.
