We are looking for a highly skilled and self-directed Senior DevOps Engineer to build, manage, and optimize the infrastructure that powers our innovative social platform. You will be responsible for ensuring the reliability, scalability, security, and cost-effectiveness of our AWS-based infrastructure. You will work closely with our backend and frontend engineers to create a seamless and efficient development and deployment pipeline. You are comfortable working in a flat organization, taking ownership, and implementing best practices across the infrastructure.

Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and manage our AWS infrastructure (EC2, S3, Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFront, RDS, Redis, etc.).
• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments.
• Implement robust monitoring, logging, and alerting systems.
• Ensure the security of our infrastructure and applications.
• Optimize infrastructure for performance and cost.
• Troubleshoot and resolve infrastructure-related issues.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning and management using infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation).
• Work closely with development teams to support their infrastructure needs.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest DevOps trends and technologies.
• Contribute to architectural decisions and help shape the technical direction of our platform.
• Understand the end-to-end flow of our application, from frontend to infrastructure.
• Think customer-centrically, ensuring infrastructure supports a seamless user experience.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, infrastructure engineering, or a related role.
• Extensive experience with AWS services (EC2, S3, Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFront, RDS, Redis, etc.).
• Strong experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes is a plus, but not strictly required given your current architecture).
• Experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI, AWS CodePipeline).
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation).
• Strong scripting skills (e.g., Python, Bash).
• Experience with monitoring and logging tools (e.g., CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack).
• Solid understanding of networking concepts (TCP/IP, DNS, VPCs, etc.).
• Excellent problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
• Ability to work independently and take ownership of projects.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills.

Bonus Points:

• Experience with blockchain infrastructure.
• AWS certifications.
