Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Flexhire is seeking a Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer to improve how engineering teams design, deploy, and operate cloud infrastructure. The role focuses on building platform capabilities, automation, observability, CI/CD improvements, and infrastructure patterns that increase developer productivity and reduce operational overhead.
Responsibilities
- Partner with product teams to understand their workloads, constraints, operational pain points, and growth plans
- Identify patterns across teams and translate them into shared infrastructure capabilities, standards, and paved roads
- Design and evolve AWS infrastructure with clear tradeoffs across reliability, scalability, security, cost, and developer velocity
- Improve how engineers provision infrastructure, deploy services, observe production systems, and diagnose failures
- Build automation and internal tooling that eliminate repetitive work without hiding important operational details
- Improve CI/CD systems and deployment practices, including safe rollouts, rollback strategies, and infrastructure changes
- Strengthen observability across applications and infrastructure through useful metrics, logs, traces, dashboards, and alerts
- Participate in incident response and postmortems, then drive systemic improvements rather than one-off fixes
- Maintain infrastructure as code and help establish patterns that are understandable, testable, and easy to evolve
- Collaborate with security and compliance teams to build practical controls into the platform
- Document architectural decisions and help raise infrastructure and operational standards across engineering
Skills
- Significant experience designing and operating production cloud systems, ideally on AWS
- Strong systems thinking: you can move between application behavior, cloud infrastructure, networking, deployment systems, and operational data
- A track record of solving ambiguous infrastructure problems rather than only implementing predefined solutions
- Experience partnering with product engineers and influencing technical decisions across team boundaries
- Sound judgment around reliability, security, cost, scalability, and engineering velocity
- Production experience with infrastructure as code. We use Terraform, but deep expertise in module authoring is not the defining requirement
- Strong automation or software engineering skills in languages such as Python, Go, or TypeScript
- Experience building and improving CI/CD systems and production deployment workflows
- Practical experience with observability and incident response
- Ability to communicate clearly, challenge assumptions constructively, and explain infrastructure decisions to engineers with different backgrounds
- Experience building internal platforms or developer infrastructure in a fast-growing engineering organization
- Experience with containerized and serverless workloads, such as ECS, EKS, Kubernetes, or Lambda
- Familiarity with multi-account AWS environments and cloud governance
- Experience operating databases and stateful services such as RDS, Aurora, MySQL, or PostgreSQL
- Familiarity with SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar compliance environments
- Experience improving cloud cost visibility and efficiency
