Summary: The DevOps Engineer is critical to designing, implementing, and maintaining a scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud environment—primarily within AWS. The role will be responsible for managing infrastructure as code, developing robust CI/CD pipelines, supporting containerized and microservices-based architectures, and driving automation across deployment workflows. The role will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including development, QA, and operations, to ensure system reliability, performance, and scalability. Additional responsibilities include support for VoIP/telephony infrastructure, real-time messaging systems, and active participation in on-call rotations. What This Role Does:
Designs, implements, and maintains cloud infrastructure on AWS, focusing on networking, security, and cost efficiency. Builds and manages CI/CD pipelines using Bitbucket to automate software delivery and deployment processes. Develops infrastructure as code (IaC) using tools like Terraform or Ansible to ensure consistency and scalability. Manages containerized applications using Docker and supports Kubernetes-based deployments for microservices-based architectures. Oversees the management and optimization of both relational (RDS) and NoSQL (e.g., MongoDB, Couchbase) databases for efficient data storage and retrieval. Supports telephony infrastructure using tools like Asterisk, Kamailio, and RTPEngine. Implements and maintains messaging and streaming platforms like Apache Kafka for real-time data processing and integration. Enhances monitoring and alerting capabilities using tools such as Datadog, Netscout, and ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana).
