About the Role
A Place for Mom is seeking an experienced Senior DevOps Engineer to help scale and evolve our cloud infrastructure, platform engineering capabilities, site reliability practices, and security posture.
As a technical leader, you will drive cloud infrastructure, automation, platform engineering, and reliability initiatives while partnering across Engineering, Security, Architecture, and Product teams. You will help improve developer experience, strengthen security, increase platform reliability, and advance operational excellence.
The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in AWS, Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, observability, cloud security, and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), along with a passion for mentoring engineers, solving complex challenges, and leveraging emerging technologies—including AI-powered tooling and automation—to improve engineering productivity.
What You Will Do:
-
Design, build, and operate scalable, secure, and highly available cloud infrastructure across AWS.
-
Lead platform engineering initiatives that improve developer productivity, deployment velocity, and operational efficiency.
-
Drive Infrastructure as Code practices using Terraform and help establish reusable patterns and engineering standards.
-
Build and enhance CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and self-service platform capabilities.
-
Improve observability through monitoring, logging, alerting, and incident response practices.
-
Partner with engineering teams to improve system reliability, performance, scalability, and resilience.
-
Collaborate with Security teams to strengthen cloud security, infrastructure hardening, access management, and compliance initiatives.
-
Evaluate and implement new technologies, automation opportunities, and AI-powered engineering tools.
-
Lead technical discussions, architectural reviews, and infrastructure design decisions across teams.
-
Mentor engineers and contribute to the growth of DevOps, Platform Engineering, and SRE practices.
What We Are Looking For:
-
7+ years of experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, or related disciplines.
-
Deep hands-on experience designing, operating, and securing AWS environments.
-
Strong expertise with Terraform; experience with Terramate or similar infrastructure orchestration tools is a plus.
