Senior DevOps Engineer (Remote, Contract)

INFUSE is looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to own and evolve our AWS infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and observability stack. You will bridge cloud engineering and software development across our entire product suite, including production LLM products and legacy systems requiring modernization.

We need a proactive technical partner to lead our transition to EKS and GitHub Actions, enforce zero-trust security baselines, and mentor engineering teams along the way.

As part of our dynamic team, your responsibilities in this role will include:

Design, build and run secure AWS infrastructure (EC2 with Docker Compose, EKS) with Terraform and Ansible; move suitable workloads from EC2 to EKS

Build and maintain CI/CD in GitHub Actions; move remaining Jenkins jobs to GitHub Actions

Keep new and existing services at our security baseline: Cloudflare proxy with WAF and rate limiting, origins open only to Cloudflare, SSM access, no public SSH, least-privilege IAM, secrets rotation, regular patching and rebuilds, no containers running as root

Own monitoring, alerting and logs on our standard stack (Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Sentry); on-call, incident response, post-incident reviews

Own backups and regular restore tests

Control AWS cost: tags, rightsizing, removing unused resources, estimates for new projects

Regularly review the infrastructure we run, find risks and waste, and come with a plan without waiting for a ticket

Take over infrastructure that is undocumented or run by contractors; document it and bring it under IaC, CI/CD and our standards

Join new projects at kickoff: review hosting design, estimate cost, prepare infrastructure for the production-readiness review

Work with internal teams and contractors; set and enforce standards; mentor other engineers.

Our ideal candidate possesses the following skills:

5+ Years in DevOps / SRE: Proven background operating mission-critical production environments, including 3+ years of hands-on experience running AWS at scale

IaC & CI/CD Mastery: Expert with Terraform, highly proficient with Ansible, and experienced in designing production workflows with GitHub Actions

Containerization & Kubernetes: Strong production experience with Docker and Kubernetes (specifically managed AWS EKS and Helm)

Production Security & Incident Management: Hands-on practice with platform hardening, zero-trust patterns, automated secrets management, system patching, and Cloudflare WAF/proxy configuration. Comfortable with on-call rotations, incident response, and executing verified backup restore drills

English proficiency at B2 level or higher.

What Else We Expect & Value:

Application Ecosystem Familiarity: Experience supporting Node.js and Python microservices paired with PostgreSQL and Redis, as well as web stacks (WordPress, Nginx, PHP-FPM, MySQL) behind Cloudflare

Modern Observability: Practical setup and maintenance of Grafana, Prometheus, and OpenTelemetry pipelines

Core Scripting & Systems: Deep fluency in Linux administration, Bash, and Python scripting.

Collaborative Leadership: Ability to effectively manage, document, and standardize work across internal teams and external contractor groups.

AI-Augmented Workflow: Daily experience leveraging modern AI developer tools and agents (Claude Code preferred) to accelerate engineering output.

Proactive & Autonomous Mindset: A self-starter who actively audits environments, catches vulnerabilities before they become outages, and brings actionable proposals to the table.

Nice to have:

Kafka (MSK), Jenkins, ClickHouse, Backstage, Sentry, Langfuse, SonarQube/Trivy/gitleaks, Cloudflare Zero Trust, AIOps, leading a small DevOps team, AWS/CKA certifications.
