**Working Hours:** U.S. client business hours (with flexibility for deployments, incident response, and on-call rotations)

**About the Role:**

Our client is seeking a DevOps Engineer to build, maintain, and optimize infrastructure and deployment pipelines. This role requires expertise in cloud platforms, automation, monitoring, and CI/CD. The DevOps Engineer ensures systems are secure, scalable, and reliable, enabling development teams to ship code quickly and safely.

**Responsibilities**:

Infrastructure Management:

-   Provision and manage infrastructure on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
-   Implement Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation.
-   Configure networking, storage, and compute resources to scale with demand.

CI/CD Pipelines:

-   Build and maintain pipelines with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or CircleCI.
-   Automate builds, tests, and deployments across multiple environments.
-   Ensure rollback strategies and zero-downtime deployments.

Containerization & Orchestration:

-   Manage Docker containers and Kubernetes clusters.
-   Deploy microservices and monitor cluster health.
-   Optimize cost and performance for containerized workloads.

Monitoring & Incident Response:

-   Implement observability with Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or New Relic.
-   Configure logging and alerting pipelines (ELK stack, Splunk).
-   Participate in on-call rotations, performing root cause analysis post-incident.

Security & Compliance:

-   Apply cloud security best practices (IAM, least privilege, encryption).
-   Support SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, or GDPR compliance in infrastructure.
-   Run vulnerability scans and patch systems proactively.

Collaboration & Process Improvement:

-   Partner with developers to streamline deployments and remove bottlenecks.
-   Document infrastructure, pipelines, and workflows for team knowledge.
-   Identify opportunities for automation and performance optimization.

**What Makes You a Perfect Fit:**

-   Problem solver who thrives at the intersection of development and operations.
-   Calm and methodical in high-pressure incident scenarios.
-   Passionate about automation, scalability, and reliability.
-   Strong communicator who bridges technical and business needs.

**Required Experience & Skills (Minimum):**

-   3+ years experience in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering.
-   Proficiency with at least one cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure).
-   Strong knowledge of CI/CD tools and pipelines.
-   Experience with Docker and Kubernetes.

**Ideal Experience & Skills:**

-   Terraform or Pulumi Infrastructure-as-Code expertise.
-   Industry background in SaaS, fintech, healthcare, or enterprise applications.
-   Familiarity with serverless deployments (AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions).
-   Security certifications or cloud certifications (AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, CKA, etc.).

**What Does a Typical Day Look Like?**

A DevOps Engineer’s day revolves around keeping systems secure, automated, and reliable. You will:

-   Review monitoring dashboards for performance and incident alerts.
-   Update CI/CD pipelines to improve build/test/deploy efficiency.
-   Provision or modify infrastructure with Terraform or CloudFormation.
-   Collaborate with developers to troubleshoot deployments or optimize services.
-   Document workflows and update runbooks for incident response.
-   End the day by analyzing logs, reviewing metrics, and planning optimizations.

In essence: you are the custodian of infrastructure and automation, ensuring systems scale, stay secure, and support fast product delivery.

**Key Metrics for Success (KPIs):**

-   Deployment frequency (faster, more reliable releases).
-   System uptime ≥ 99.9%.
-   MTTR (Mean Time to Recovery) reduced for incidents.
-   Cost efficiency of infrastructure usage.
-   Positive developer feedback on deployment speed and reliability.

**Interview Process:**

1.  Initial Phone Screen
2.  Video Interview with Pavago Recruiter
3.  Technical Task (e.g., design a CI/CD pipeline or provision infrastructure with Terraform)
4.  Client Interview with Engineering/DevOps Leadership
5.  Offer & Background Verification
