Role: Sr Devops Engineer

Experience Level: 8+ years

Employment type: Full Time

Location: Remote (USA)

What You Will Do:

Strategic Landscape Assessment & Consolidation:

• Lead Enterprise EKS Audit: Conduct a comprehensive architectural assessment of the current environment comprising 20+ disparate EKS clusters, analyzing workload distribution, compute utilization, and AWS security postures.
• Formulate Consolidation Roadmap: Architect a strategic consolidation plan to migrate workloads from legacy clusters into a streamlined, highly available, and cost-optimized multi-tenant EKS platform.

Enterprise Platform Architecture:

• Define CNI & Service Mesh Strategy: Serve as the technical authority to evaluate and resolve complex architectural decisions regarding Container Network Interfaces (e.g., AWS VPC CNI vs. Cilium) and Service Mesh implementations, optimizing for network performance, observability, and IPAM constraints.
• Architect the Golden Cluster Standard: Design and establish the standardized, production-ready "Golden Cluster" architecture. Develop the foundational Terraform frameworks to automate the deployment of the EKS control plane, VPC infrastructure, Karpenter/node groups, and core add-ons.
• Design Advanced Traffic & Storage Patterns: Architect a highly resilient ingress strategy utilizing the AWS Load Balancer Controller for secure external traffic routing, and establish enterprise patterns for persistent storage using EFS and EBS CSI drivers.

Security, Governance & Pilot Execution:

• Establish Zero-Trust Security Postures: Enforce strict least-privilege access by mandating EKS Pod Identity or IRSA across the platform. Architect secure cluster communications using Security Groups for Pods and strict Kubernetes

Network Policies:

• Lead Architectural Validation: Define the scope and success criteria for pilot migrations.
• Oversee the end-to-end deployment and validation of representative Python microservice workloads to prove out the AWS architecture, ingress, and mesh capabilities.

Lifecycle Governance & Platform Scalability

• Define Cluster Lifecycle Frameworks: Establish enterprise governance for zero-downtime EKS version upgrades, AMI lifecycles, and create comprehensive architectural runbooks for platform operations teams.
• Architect Disaster Recovery: Design and integrate enterprise-grade backup, restore, and disaster recovery capabilities for cluster state and persistent volumes using Velero and Amazon S3.
• Design CI/CD Infrastructure: Partner with engineering leadership to architect and deploy dynamic, scalable CI/CD execution environments (e.g., GitHub Actions Runner Controller) directly on the EKS platform.

Basic Qualifications (BQ):

• EKS Architectural Mastery: Deep expertise in designing multi-tenant, highly available EKS environments at enterprise scale, including control plane architecture, compute strategies, and Kubernetes core governance (RBAC, Pod Security Standards).

• Advanced AWS Networking & CNI Strategy: Expert-level understanding of AWS VPC topologies, Transit Gateway, and the strategic selection/implementation of CNIs (AWS VPC CNI, Cilium, Calico) to solve complex IPAM, scaling, and performance challenges.

• Enterprise Security & IAM: Authoritative knowledge of AWS IAM integration with Kubernetes, specifically architecting IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA), EKS Pod Identity, and AWS KMS encryption strategies.

• Traffic Management & Service Mesh: Proven experience architecting enterprise ingress patterns (AWS Load Balancer Controller, API Gateways) and designing Service Mesh architectures (Istio Ambient/Sidecar, Cilium Mesh) for zero-trust networking.

• IaC & Automation Governance: Advanced Terraform expertise, focusing on designing modular, scalable, and compliant IaC frameworks for EKS fleet management and foundational add-ons.

Other Qualifications (OQ):

• Enterprise Consolidation Leadership: Proven track record of leading massive cluster consolidation programs, migrating sprawling multi-cluster environments into streamlined, cost-optimized architectures.

• FinOps & Compute Strategy: Deep experience with advanced AWS compute scaling and cost-optimization strategies, including Karpenter, Spot Instances, and Graviton (ARM) processors.

• Stateful Workloads & DR: Experience architecting AWS persistent storage (EBS/EFS CSI drivers) and enterprise disaster recovery frameworks (Velero backing up to Amazon S3).

• Platform Engineering & CI/CD: Experience designing scalable, containerized CI/CD runner infrastructure (e.g., GitHub Actions Runner Controller) directly on EKS to support developer platforms.

What is in it for you:

• Join one of the world’s fastest-growing AI-first digital engineering companies and make a real impact at scale.

• Lead and collaborate with a high-energy team of talented, driven individuals solving complex, meaningful challenges.

• Work with Fortune 500 companies and disruptive innovators in a research-driven environment with 60+ patents.

• Stay ahead of the curve by gaining hands-on experience with cutting-edge AI, ML, data, and cloud technologies while continuously upskilling.
