Cloud Engineer - DevOps

Remote, USA
Posted Jun 14, 2026
Full-time

As a DevOps Engineer, you’ll design and implement scalable, secure AWS infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code while supporting multiple client engagements in parallel. One engagement you may be building automated CI/CD pipelines and containerized deployments using ECS or EKS, the next you’re implementing monitoring, observability, and reliability frameworks that ensure production systems run efficiently at scale. You’ll partner closely with architects and client teams to translate requirements into robust cloud solutions, drive DevOps best practices, and deliver highly available, well-architected AWS environments.

 

What You’ll Do:

Design and implement scalable, secure AWS infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices across multiple client engagements simultaneously.

You'll build CI/CD pipelines, automate deployment processes, and establish monitoring and observability solutions that enable clients to operate efficiently in the cloud.

Working closely with solutions architects and project managers, you'll translate client requirements into technical solutions while maintaining high standards for security, reliability, and performance.

Collaborate with client technical teams to implement DevOps best practices, troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues, and provide knowledge transfer to ensure long-term success.

You'll balance multiple project priorities, adapt to varying client environments, and contribute to our internal tooling and methodology improvements.

Your work will directly support our AWS DevOps Competency and help clients achieve their digital transformation objectives.
