About the Role:

Mactores is an agent-native AWS modernization firm. We exist to ship production systems, retire legacy infrastructure, and measure outcomes. Our delivery is built on Aedeon, an agent platform that absorbs 60-70% of repetitive engagement work like discovery, dependency mapping, validation, and test generation. Forward-deployed engineers own the architecture, judgment, and cutover.

This is a senior role in our Application & Database Modernization pillar, leading a large-scale VMware-to-AWS migration into production. You will own the judgment calls, architecture tradeoffs, cutover sequencing, and risk decisions.

What you will do:

- Lead the design and implementation of infrastructure for a large-scale VMware-to-AWS migration.

- Architect secure, scalable, and highly available AWS environments, including Landing Zones.

- Design and implement containerized application platforms on Amazon EKS.

- Implement Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and AWS CloudFormation.

- Define best practices for security, backups, HA, DR, monitoring, and operations.

- Build CI/CD pipelines and manage the complete build and release lifecycle.

- Drive automation across provisioning, deployment, and operational workflows.

- Retire legacy infrastructure and land cloud-native architectures.

- Improve and maintain DevOps platforms like Jenkins and observability stacks.

- Provide L3-level support for complex infrastructure issues.

- Work with stakeholders on technical strategy and long-term architecture.

- Mentor engineers and contribute to talent evaluation.

What we are looking for:

- 6+ years of hands-on DevOps experience with strong cloud infrastructure expertise.

- Strong experience in VMware-to-AWS migration projects.

- 4+ years of Terraform and CloudFormation experience.

- 4+ years in configuration management and systems engineering.

- Solid Linux and/or Windows administration background.

- Deep understanding of AWS services (VPC, EC2, IAM, EKS, ECS, RDS, S3, Backup, CloudWatch).

- Experience with Kubernetes (EKS), ECS, and Docker in production.

- Hands-on experience designing HA, DR, security, and backup strategies.

- Experience with Landing Zone setup and multi-account strategy.

- Proficiency in Git branching and merging strategies.

- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and operational tooling.

- Proactive problem-solving mindset oriented toward reliability and scalability.

Preferred Qualifications:

- Experience across multiple cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).

- AWS certifications (Solutions Architect Associate/Professional or DevOps Engineer Professional).

- Exposure to data platforms like Amazon EMR, Redshift, Lake Formation, and SageMaker.

- Experience designing cloud architectures at an L3/Architect level.
