About the Role
We are looking for a DevOps Engineer with strong AWS expertise to build and operate our company-wide event bus platform. You will extend our existing real-time event monitoring system into a scalable, self-service platform that enables teams across the organization to produce and consume events reliably.
What You'll Do
Build & Operate Infrastructure: Design, deploy, and maintain AWS infrastructure for a company-wide event streaming platform using Infrastructure-as-Code (AWS CDK)
Automate Everything: Create CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, and infrastructure provisioning workflows
Scale the Platform: Architect highly available, fault-tolerant systems using AWS services (ECS, DynamoDB, VPC, IAM, Lambda, CloudWatch)
Enable Teams: Build self-service tooling and documentation so other teams can onboard to the event platform independently
Ensure Security: Implement IAM policies, network security, secrets management, and compliance controls
Monitor & Optimize: Set up observability with Datadog, establish SLOs, and optimize infrastructure costs
Collaborate: Work closely with development teams to understand requirements and translate them into reliable infrastructure

Proficient with Infrastructure as Code: AWS CDK (preferred), Terraform, or CloudFormation
Experience with Kafka or event streaming platforms
Experience building CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar)
Comfortable with Docker, Python scripting, and Linux administration
Nice to have: Kubernetes/EKS, Datadog, FinOps experience, internal developer platforms, AWS certifications
What Success Looks Like
Infrastructure is fully automated, reproducible, and version-controlled
Zero-downtime deployments with robust rollback capabilities
Comprehensive monitoring and alerting with clear runbooks
Self-service capabilities that reduce bottlenecks for other teams
Secure, cost-efficient infrastructure that scales with demand
Clear documentation enabling team autonomy
