The AWS DevOps Engineer is a senior specialized role requiring 510 years of experience, dedicated to designing, deploying, and managing containerized, cloud-native applications in AWS environments.

Located in Bangalore, the incumbent must possess strong expertise in AWS cloud services, Kubernetes orchestration, DevOps tooling, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

This role is central to provisioning scalable infrastructure, optimizing CI/CD pipelines, and ensuring robust security and operational excellence.

Job Summary :

We are seeking an experienced AWS DevOps Engineer (510 years) with mandatory strong expertise in AWS, Kubernetes, and IaC.

The ideal candidate will design, deploy, and manage containerized applications, including provisioning scalable AWS infrastructure (VPC, EC2, S3) using Terraform/CloudFormation.

Key responsibilities span the full lifecycle : architecting CI/CD pipelines, orchestrating workloads with Kubernetes/EKS, implementing security standards, and establishing comprehensive monitoring for cloud-native applications.

This role requires collaboration with architects to define quality gates and drive continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities and Technical Deliverables :

Cloud Architecture & Deployment :

- Design, implement, and optimize scalable cloud infrastructure on the AWS platform (e.g., VPC, EC2, S3, RDS, IAM).

- Provision and configure AWS networking components (e.g., Load Balancers, Route 53, Transit Gateway) for high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR).

- Ensure all deployed infrastructure adheres to Well-Architected Framework principles for cost, security, performance, and operational excellence.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Automation :

- Implement and maintain infrastructure provisioning using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools, primarily Terraform or AWS CloudFormation.

- Develop and manage robust CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, AWS CodePipeline) for continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous deployment.

- Automate routine administrative and operational tasks using scripting languages like Python or Shell.

Kubernetes & Container Management :

- Deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications utilizing Docker and Kubernetes orchestration platforms, with primary focus on AWS EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service).

- Manage and optimize Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, and associated configurations (e.g., networking, storage, security).

- Implement service mesh technologies (e.g., Istio, App Mesh) where required for advanced traffic routing and security.

Cloud Security, HA/DR, & Hybrid Administration :

- Implement and enforce Cloud Security best practices, including IAM policy management, security groups, network ACLs, and compliance checks.

- Design and test High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) strategies for cloud-native workloads, including cross-region replication and backup solutions.

- Support and administer hybrid cloud infrastructure elements, ensuring seamless connectivity and security across on-premises and AWS.

Monitoring & Operational Excellence :

- Establish comprehensive Monitoring & Operational Excellence solutions using AWS CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK/EFK stack.

- Implement alerting, logging, and tracing mechanisms for rapid incident detection and performance analysis.

- Perform capacity planning, cost management, and resource optimization within the AWS environment.

Collaboration & Quality Assurance :

- Work closely with application architects to identify, integrate, and configure performance, code quality, and coverage tools (e.g., SonarQube, Fortify) into the CI/CD pipeline.

- Define and maintain technical quality gates in CI/CD pipelines to enforce security scans, coding standards, and successful unit/integration tests before deployment.

- Participate in architecture reviews and drive continuous improvement initiatives across infrastructure, security, and deployment processes.

Mandatory Skills & Qualifications

- Experience : 510 years of relevant experience.

- Cloud : Strong expertise in AWS cloud services (VPC, EC2, S3, RDS, IAM).

- Orchestration : Expertise in Kubernetes and AWS EKS for container management.

- IaC/Automation : Proficiency with Terraform/CloudFormation and CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, AWS CodePipeline).

- Scripting/Tools : Experience with Python/Shell scripting and monitoring tools (CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana).

Preferred Skills

- AWS Certified DevOps Engineer Professional or Solutions Architect Professional.

- Experience with Service Mesh technologies (Istio, App Mesh).

- Knowledge of serverless architecture (AWS Lambda, DynamoDB).

- Advanced experience with security tools like HashiCorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager
