[Hiring] DevOps Engineer @Somnio Software

Role Description

We’re looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to architect and manage the AWS ecosystem behind a Data and AI platform for one of our clients. Your main mission is to build a developer self-service environment: the Fullstack and AI engineers on the team should have the infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines and observability tools they need to move fast without compromising security.

You’ll own the cloud-native strategy and replace manual configuration with Infrastructure as Code. This isn’t about managing servers. You’ll be building a scalable, automated platform that treats infrastructure as a product.

What you’ll do

• Design, build and evolve the AWS infrastructure for a Data and AI platform, fully defined as code.
• Build CI/CD pipelines with automated testing, security scanning and blue/green deployments.
• Run and scale containerized workloads on EKS or ECS.
• Design the network layer, including VPCs, peering, Transit Gateways and load balancing, with real-time data streams in mind.
• Apply security best practices across the stack: least-privilege IAM, secret management and encryption at rest and in transit.
• Set up monitoring and observability around the Golden Signals.
• Configure and tune databases (RDS PostgreSQL and vector databases) for high availability and performance.
• Work closely with Fullstack and AI engineers so the platform fits how they build.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in Infrastructure or Systems Engineering, with a strong focus on AWS.
• Infrastructure as Code: you’ve mastered Terraform or Pulumi. We expect zero “ClickOps”: everything is version-controlled.
• Container orchestration: deep experience with Amazon EKS (Kubernetes) or ECS, including Fargate, service mesh and scaling policies.
• CI/CD: you’ve designed and maintained complex pipelines in GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or Jenkins.
• Cloud-native networking: VPC design, peering, Transit Gateways and load balancing (ALB/NLB).
• Security and compliance: least-privilege IAM, secret management (AWS Secrets Manager or HashiCorp Vault) and encryption at rest and in transit.
• Monitoring and observability: Prometheus/Grafana, Datadog or New Relic.
• Database operations: configuring and tuning RDS (PostgreSQL) and vector databases.
• English level B2 or higher.
• Availability to work mainly on Eastern Time (EST).

Nice to have

• Data and AI infrastructure: AWS SageMaker, MLOps pipelines (Kubeflow), or GPU-backed instances for AI inference.
• Serverless: AWS Lambda and EventBridge for real-time event streams.
• Cost optimization: a track record keeping cloud spend under control with Cost Explorer, Reserved Instances or Savings Plans.
• SRE mindset: defining SLOs and running blameless post-mortems.

Engagement details

• Full-time: 40 hours/week
• Duration: 18-week project
• Start date: ASAP
• Location: Remote from anywhere in LATAM, working mainly on Eastern Time (EST)

Benefits

• Work from anywhere - From the mountains or the city, you choose your ideal space.
• Flex Time - Because we trust your talent, not the clock.
• Great Place to Work - Recognized for our culture.
• Tailored career growth - We accompany you where you want to go.
