• Infrastructure automation and CI/CD discipline
• Telecom and real‑time integrations (SBCs, contact center platforms) This role ensures the platform remains operationally sound, scalable, and secure, while enabling rapid iteration and safe production change.

 

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and maintain infrastructure automation using Terraform and AWS CloudFormation.
• Develop and support AWS cloud environments, including networking, compute, storage, IAM, and monitoring.
• Deploy and manage containerized applications on Kubernetes (EKS preferred).
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments, testing, and validation.
• Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions to provide operational visibility.
• Apply security best practices across cloud and containerized environments.

 

Reliability, Operations & Integration

• Troubleshoot infrastructure, deployment, and integration issues, collaborating closely with development and operations teams.
• Partner with SRE engineers to meet reliability, latency, and production‑readiness objectives.
• Support change management, production rollouts, and controlled after‑hours changes when required.
• Write clear technical documentation and contribute to runbooks and operational playbooks.

 

Telecom / Real‑Time (Optional but Valued)

• Contribute to VoIP and real‑time platform integrations (SIP, SBCs, call routing) where applicable.
• Support troubleshooting across telecom logs, routing paths, and integrations in partnership with voice SMEs.
• Participate in incident response involving real‑time communications or contact center platforms.

 

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering, DevOps, or platform engineering roles.
• Strong hands‑on experience with AWS services, including VPC, EC2, IAM, S3, EKS, RDS, and CloudWatch.
• Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform and CloudFormation.
• Experience running Kubernetes in production environments.
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar).
• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, HTTP, load balancing).
• Experience with Linux systems, shell scripting, and Git‑based version control.
• Strong problem‑solving, communication, and collaboration skills.

 

Nice to Have (Add‑Ons)

• Experience with VoIP or real‑time communications, including SIP, RTP, SBCs, or call routing.
• Exposure to monitoring and observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog, or Dynatrace.
• Experience with messaging systems (Kafka, SQS) or databases (PostgreSQL, DynamoDB).
• Background in security hardening for cloud and containerized workloads.
