## Description

A senior hands-on contributor who designs, automates, and evolves secure, scalable AWS platform foundations and delivery pipelines for secure, scalable, and cost-efficient applications. Reporting to the Manager, DevOps (Platform Engineering), this role builds production-ready cloud architectures in AWS, codifies everything (Infrastructure as Code), and drives reliable CI/CD with strong guardrails. As a DevOps Engineer III, you'll own complex components, accelerate product teams, and collaborate across Security, App Dev, and SRE, without formal people management responsibilities. This role also carries hands-on database performance ownership - from query optimization up through deployment pipelines - and partners with full-stack engineering to help own infrastructure end-to-end as the business scales., * Technical Leadership & Collaboration
*

 + Serve as a senior individual contributor for cloud and delivery engineering, mentor junior teammates via reviews, pairing, and documentation
 + Translate business and compliance requirements into practical designs, tickets, and runbooks; communicate tradeoffs and timelines
 + Partner with Security, App Dev, Reliability, and Connectivity teams to align architecture, SLAs, and incident processes; contribute to technical standards
 * Cloud Architecture & Platform Engineering
 + Design and implement AWS architectures (ECS, VPC, ApiGateway, Lambda, Amplify, Route 53) for highly available apps
 + Engineer resilient data/service backends (RDS, S3, ElasticSearch, SQS, SNS) with appropriate networking, backup, and DR patterns
 + Implement secrets and configuration management (Secrets Manager, IAM roles) and environment isolation across dev/test/stage/prod
 + Evaluate and implement database scaling strategies (read replicas, partitioning, sharding)
 + Optimize queries, table indexing, database replication, and connection pooling
 + Configure and tune load balancers, DNS, VPC design, and SSL/TLS certificate management
 * CI/CD & Automation
 + Implement GitOps/continuous delivery with policy gates, approvals, environments, and automated rollbacks
 + Codify infrastructure using expert-level AWS CDK and CloudFormation, enforce drift detection, author and manage reusable versioned modules, and automated plan/apply with change controls
 + Write infrastructure-as-code using AWS CDK and CloudFormation
 + Implement GitLab CI pipelines (build, security scans, infra deploy, progressive delivery)
 + Own CI/CD pipeline maintenance and creation across the pipeline lifecycle
 + Build platform automation and internal tooling with PowerShell/Python + Microsoft Graph/Azure CLI; create self-service templates and golden images
 + Support SRE practices including SLOs, error budgets, and blue/green, canary, or zero-downtime deployment strategies
 * Cost & Performance Management
 + Use AWS cost tools to right-size compute/storage, tune autoscaling profiles, and optimize reservations/spot usage; publish cost dashboards and forecasts
 + Proactively reduce spend via architectural improvements (caching, CDN, data lifecycle policies, build farm efficiency)
 + Develop and implement reservation strategy across the organization
 * Observability & Security
 + Embed observability solutions (Cloudwatch, AWS X-Ray) across platform services
 + Improve platform observability by tracing performance metrics and building alerting systems
 + Enforce security guardrails through IAM policies, role separation, and least privilege principles
 + Design secure, compliant architectures aligned with frameworks (e.g., SOC2, HIPAA, ISO27001)
 * Documentation & Knowledge Management
 + Maintain high-quality architecture diagrams, pipeline docs, runbooks, architecture decision records, and "how-to" guides; keep standards current and searchable
 + Contribute patterns/modules to the internal platform catalog; champion reuse over one-offs, Note: This job description is not intended to be all-inclusive. Employees may perform other related duties as requested to meet the ongoing needs of the organization.
