Senior AWS DevOps Engineer (AI focused) [J219]

We are seeking a Senior AWS DevOps Engineer with strong software engineering expertise and a focus on AI-powered applications. This role combines hands-on feature development in Python/TypeScript with deep AWS infrastructure ownership, ensuring scalable, secure, and high-performing AI services. You’ll work closely with client Cloud Engineering teams to align on architecture, deployments, and operational excellence.

What You’ll Do

• Build and ship AI-powered services and backend integrations using Python and TypeScript.
• Design and provision AWS infrastructure using CDK (or equivalent: Pulumi, CDKTF, SST); implement reusable IaC patterns and security guardrails.
• Own CI/CD pipelines, deployment strategies, and environment management across staging and production.
• Troubleshoot complex issues across runtime, networking, and IAM, ensuring resilience and scalability.
• Partner with client Cloud/Platform teams on architecture, networking, IAM, monitoring, and cost optimization.
• Translate ambiguous requirements into technical designs, RFCs, and roadmaps, communicating trade-offs effectively.
• Establish observability practices: logs, metrics, traces, alerts, runbooks, and SLOs.
• Lead incident response and postmortems to drive continuous improvement.
• Contribute to AI/ML integration patterns (prompting, retrieval, safety/guardrails, latency/cost optimization).
• Uphold code quality, reviews, automated validation, and mentor engineers.

Core Requirements

• 6+ years professional software engineering experience, including senior-level ownership of production systems.
• Strong proficiency in:
• TypeScript (Node.js): APIs, event-driven/serverless patterns, testing.
• Python: data pipelines, backend services, SDKs/CLI tools, AI/ML integrations.
• AWS (deep hands-on): IAM, VPC, Lambda, ECS/EKS, API Gateway/ALB, S3, CloudWatch, Secrets Manager, Step Functions, EventBridge.
• Infrastructure as Code: AWS CDK (or CDKTF, Pulumi, SST); modular stacks; multi-account, multi-region setups.
• CI/CD expertise: GitHub Actions/GitLab CI/CodeBuild, artifact management, blue/green or canary deployments.
• Production troubleshooting: logs/metrics/traces, containers/serverless runtimes, networking/DNS, IAM permissions.
• Client-facing skills: requirement gathering, design docs, trade-off analysis, stakeholder presentations.
• Security mindset: least-privilege IAM, secrets management, compliance, cost monitoring.

Nice to Have

• AI/ML ecosystem: LLM frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex), vector DBs (Pinecone, pgvector, OpenSearch), embeddings, RAG pipelines.
• AWS AI services: Bedrock, SageMaker, Comprehend; or third-party integrations (OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI).
• Data engineering: ETL/ELT, Kafka/Kinesis, batch/stream processing, Lakehouse architectures.
• Containers & orchestration: Docker, ECS/Fargate, EKS, Helm.
• Observability: OpenTelemetry, Datadog, New Relic, centralized logging.
• Compliance exposure: SOC2, HIPAA, PCI, enterprise security reviews.

How You’ll Work

• Lead by example with hands-on coding and architecture.
• Operate with high ownership across design, delivery, and operations.
• Collaborate closely with clients, ensuring clear communication and proactive alignment.
• Balance speed and rigor with testing, monitoring, and documentation.
