Senior DevOps Engineer (Remote, Contract)

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.
