Responsibilities:
- Design and implement complex, secure cloud solutions aligned to enterprise/functional architecture; document technical decisions.
- Lead development of AWS-based applications using Lambda, API Gateway, and ECS; prototype scalable APIs focused on integration, security, reliability, and observability.
- Build and automate infrastructure as code (IaC) with CloudFormation, AWS CDK, Terraform, and Ansible for reliable, repeatable deployments.
- Design, implement, and manage CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, CodePipeline) with automated testing, security scanning, and policy checks.
- Implement DevOps best practices using AWS CloudFormation, GitHub, and Docker; codify environments and promotion workflows.
- Deploy and operate containerized and serverless workloads (EKS/ECS/Fargate, Lambda/Step Functions, EventBridge); choose optimal compute strategies.
- Integrate AI tools (Amazon Q, Claude, Datadog AI, AWS AI/ML) to automate operations, improve monitoring, predictive scaling, and incident response.
- Develop/maintain AI-driven runbooks and workflows for anomaly detection, automated remediation, and continuous improvement.
- Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize performance, reliability, and cost using CloudWatch, Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, and AI observability platforms.
- Implement internal process improvements via automation, data-delivery optimization, and infrastructure redesign.
- Enforce security/compliance (IAM, KMS, Secrets Manager, security groups, encryption in transit/at rest) aligned to GxP, HIPAA, GDPR, and 21 CFR Part 11.
- Mentor engineers; collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams; champion AWS Well-Architected Framework; guide incident/problem management and cost governance.
Qualifications:
Required:
- Bachelor’s (8 years) / Master’s (7 years) / PhD (3 years); experience in application development.
- AWS: EC2, VPC, S3, Lambda, RDS/Aurora, DynamoDB, EventBridge, EKS/ECS/Fargate, API Gateway, Control Tower, Identity Center, CloudWatch.
- Landing zone & governance: Secure Landing Zone, AWS Organizations, multi-account guardrails, SCPs.
- IaC/automation: CloudFormation, AWS CDK, Terraform, Ansible; GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CodePipeline; Git, Python, Bash, PowerShell, Docker.
- DevOps/SDLC: trunk-based development, automated testing, GitOps (ArgoCD, Flux), policy-as-code, artifact management.
- AI/observability: Amazon Q, Claude, Datadog AI, AWS AI/ML; anomaly detection, predictive scaling, automated triage.
- Security/compliance: IAM, KMS, Secrets Manager, GuardDuty, Security Hub, AWS WAF; alignment to GxP/HIPAA/GDPR/21 CFR Part 11; Tenable/WizIO integrations.
- Monitoring/management: CloudWatch, ServiceNow, Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK (optional Splunk/SolarWinds/Dynatrace).
- Networking: VPC design, subnetting, NAT/Transit Gateway, VPN/Direct Connect, routing, load balancing.
- Containerization: Docker, Kubernetes (EKS), ECS, Fargate.
- Clear communication; effective cross-functional collaboration.
Preferred:
- 8+ years hands-on AWS engineering for large-scale platforms; multi-cloud (Azure/GCP) and pharma/regulatory experience.
- Deep serverless/containers experience (Lambda, API Gateway, ECS/EKS, service mesh, secure API design).
- Proven CI/CD & IaC track record (CloudFormation/Terraform/CDK).
- Experience integrating AI/ML tools into DevOps/monitoring/automation.
- Strong regulated-environment security grounding; monitoring/governance (CloudWatch + third-party tools like WizIO/ServiceNow).
- AWS resilience/DR patterns; chaos engineering/reliability testing.
- Mentorship/leadership; SME recognition.
- Certifications: AWS Solutions Architect—Professional; AWS DevOps Engineer/Cloud Practitioner; CISSP/CCSP advantageous.
Benefits (explicitly stated):
- Paid time off; medical/dental/vision insurance; 401(k) (eligible employees).
- Short-term incentive programs (eligible).
