Build, optimize, and troubleshoot GitLab CI/CD pipelines for automated build, testing, security scanning, and deployment.

Containerize applications using Docker and support deployment in containerized environments.

Administer Linux-based systems, including system configuration, operational support, performance tuning, and troubleshooting.

Automate operational and deployment activities using shell scripting and related scripting techniques.

Collaborate with security teams to integrate controls, vulnerability scanning, and policy enforcement into engineering workflows, including tools such as Checkmarx and Google SecOps.

Identify and implement cost-saving opportunities without compromising security, performance, or reliability.

Standardize infrastructure modules, deployment patterns, and operating procedures to improve consistency and maintainability.

Produce clear and accurate documentation covering architecture, migration runbooks, implementation procedures, operational workflows, and support handover materials.

Work closely with cross-functional teams to improve platform maturity, reliability, migration readiness, and delivery efficiency.

Act as a dependable technical contributor who can independently drive workstreams, resolve issues proactively, and escalate risks appropriately.

The Ideal Candidate Will Demonstrate

A hands-on approach with the ability to actively execute engineering and migration tasks, not just provide guidance

A self-driven and independent working style, with the ability to manage priorities, drive workstreams, and deliver results with minimal supervision

Proven experience supporting complex enterprise migrations involving infrastructure, observability, network, and governance changes

Strong troubleshooting capability across AWS, networking, Linux, CI/CD, and containerized environments

Strong ownership mindset, accountability, and attention to detail

Excellent communication and documentation skills, including the ability to work effectively with engineering, network, security, and governance stakeholders

A strong commitment to security, operational excellence, resilience, and cost efficiency

Shape

Preferred Experience

Experience working in large-scale enterprise AWS environments

Experience leading or supporting AWS Organization / tenant migration programs

Experience delivering observability transformation initiatives, especially migration from Splunk to Google-native observability and security platforms

Experience coordinating DNS, certificate, TGW, Zscaler, WAF, and routing changes in production environments

Experience implementing and validating SCP changes within controlled governance frameworks

Experience supporting production cutovers, incident management, rollback planning, and post-migration stabilization

Experience developing reusable Terraform modules and platform standards

Exposure To

Kubernetes, Jira, Packer, AWS Bedrock, AWS Agent Core

Operational Excellence

Build reliable, supportable, and well-documented solutions that meet enterprise production standards.

Cost Optimization

Continuously evaluate and implement ways to reduce cloud and operational costs without compromising service quality.

Code Standardization

Maintain consistent standards across infrastructure code, automation scripts, and configuration management.

Reusable Design Patterns

Apply scalable, supportable, and repeatable design patterns across infrastructure and delivery pipelines.

DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself)

Promote modularity and reuse to reduce duplication across scripts, templates, and infrastructure components.
