Cloud Engineer - DevOps

<p> </p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt; line-height: 115%; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="font-family: Raleway, sans-serif;">As a DevOps Engineer, you’ll design and implement scalable, secure AWS infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code while supporting multiple client engagements in parallel. One engagement you may be building automated CI/CD pipelines and containerized deployments using ECS or EKS, the next you’re implementing monitoring, observability, and reliability frameworks that ensure production systems run efficiently at scale. You’ll partner closely with architects and client teams to translate requirements into robust cloud solutions, drive DevOps best practices, and deliver highly available, well-architected AWS environments.</span></strong></p> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;
