Key Responsibilities:

• Cloud Architecture Oversight: Lead efforts around designing, deploying, and maintaining cloud infrastructure (AWS) that is both secure and scalable.

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Build and maintain automation for deployment, configuration, and provisioning using tools such as Terraform, Ansible, and AWS-native templates.

• Performance Monitoring & Resource Optimization: Establish monitoring systems and alerting mechanisms to detect issues early, and continuously review resource usage for potential improvements in efficiency and cost.

• Development Collaboration: Work closely with engineering teams to embed CI/CD practices and support rapid, stable deployments.

• Technical Documentation: Maintain clear, thorough documentation for infrastructure and DevOps processes to support internal knowledge sharing.

• Problem Resolution: Dive into complex issues, resolve incidents, and provide hands-on technical support.

• Scalability & Planning: Evaluate usage trends and proactively prepare infrastructure to handle increased demand.

• Tech Evolution: Keep up with cloud industry trends and AWS innovations, recommending enhancements where applicable.

What You Bring to the Team:

• 5–7 years of experience working in DevOps or AWS-centric engineering roles.

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant technical field or equivalent practical experience.

• Strong development background with proficiency in scripting and programming languages (Python, Bash, Java, Go, JavaScript, etc.).

• AWS certifications (e.g., DevOps Engineer, Solutions Architect, SysOps Administrator) are strongly preferred.

• Deep understanding of core AWS offerings including but not limited to EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS, IAM, ECS, VPC, and CloudWatch.

• Hands-on experience with IaC tools like CloudFormation or Terraform.

• Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and orchestration platforms like Kubernetes is beneficial.

• Expertise in CI/CD tooling, particularly GitHub Actions.

• Solid grounding in networking fundamentals, cloud security frameworks, and performance optimization.

• Ability to communicate effectively across technical and non-technical audiences and thrive in team-oriented environments.

Compensation & Requirements:

• Salary Range: $160,000 – $180,000 annually, based on experience

• Bonus Potential: 10% annual bonus

• Candidates must be local to Atlanta and authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship — this role does not offer visa support.
