Role Overview:
We are seeking a DevOps Engineer to own and evolve the cloud and delivery infrastructure for Keplon, EDECS's AI-powered platform for the construction industry. The role is primarily focused on DevOps and cloud operations, with a strong emphasis on CI/CD, containerization, and AWS infrastructure management. The ideal candidate has a software engineering background — proficient in Python or .NET — enabling them to understand the systems they deploy at a code level, provide technical guidance to backend engineers, and contribute to development work as a secondary responsibility.
Key Responsibilities:
Cloud Infrastructure & Operations
- Design, manage, and optimize AWS infrastructure including ECS/EKS, RDS, S3, VPCs, IAM, and Lambda.
- Ensure environment consistency, reliability, and security across development, staging, and production.
- Monitor infrastructure health and respond to incidents, implementing root cause analysis and preventive measures.
CI/CD & Delivery Pipelines
- Build, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines to support automated testing, build, and deployment workflows.
- Establish and enforce branching strategies, release processes, and deployment standards.
- Reduce manual intervention in the software delivery lifecycle through automation.
Containerization & Orchestration
- Own Docker and Kubernetes configurations for application workloads.
- Manage container image lifecycle, registry, and deployment policies.
- Support engineers in containerizing services and troubleshooting runtime issues.
Observability & Reliability
- Set up and maintain logging, metrics, and alerting systems across all environments.
- Define and track reliability indicators; support incident response and post-mortem processes.
- Continuously improve system uptime and performance through proactive monitoring.
Technical Guidance & Collaboration
- Serve as the primary technical reference for infrastructure-related decisions across the engineering team.
- Provide guidance to backend engineers on deployment practices, cloud service usage, and containerization.
- Contribute to backend codebase in Python or .NET when needed to unblock the team or improve system reliability.
- Participate in architecture and design discussions with a focus on deployability, scalability, and operational best practices.
Requirements:
Education
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.
Experience
- 3–5 years of hands-on experience in a DevOps, SRE, or cloud infrastructure role.
- Demonstrated experience managing AWS environments in production.
- Proven experience with Docker and Kubernetes in real-world deployments.
- Prior involvement in building or maintaining CI/CD pipelines.
- Background writing or maintaining backend code in Python, .NET (C#), or both.
Skills
- Strong understanding of cloud networking, IAM, and security fundamentals in AWS.
- Ability to read, write, and debug application code — not just deploy it.
- Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills across infrastructure and application layers.
- Effective communication and ability to translate infrastructure decisions into clear guidance for non-DevOps engineers.
- Ability to work autonomously in a small, fast-moving product team with evolving requirements.
Computer Skills
- AWS services: ECS/EKS, RDS, S3, Lambda, IAM, CloudWatch, Secrets Manager.
- Containers: Docker, Kubernetes.
- CI/CD tools: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or equivalent.
- Programming: Python and/or .NET (C#).
- Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar) is a plus.
- Observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or equivalent) is a plus.
