About the role
Some of the world’s most innovative global software and technology companies struggle to find engineering partners capable of stepping into complex environments and immediately driving meaningful outcomes. These teams need more than additional hands—they need senior engineers who can quickly understand an environment, identify the path forward, and execute without constant direction. Enter EverOps – the premier Embedded Service Provider. We partner directly with customer engineering teams to assess and address mission-critical infrastructure, cloud, and delivery challenges. EverOps is looking for a Lead DevOps Engineer with deep AWS infrastructure experience and unusually strong networking expertise to support a complex cloud migration and modernization initiative within a high-transaction payments environment. You’ll be joining an active migration already in motion, where timelines are compressed, dependencies are not always fully documented, and the environment spans legacy infrastructure, AWS, application platforms, databases, networking, and production operations. This role requires someone who can get productive quickly, work through ambiguity, and independently turn broad objectives into executable technical work.
What you'll bring
- 7+ years of professional experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, SRE, Infrastructure Engineering, or a related discipline, with significant production AWS experience.
- Deep hands-on experience designing, operating, troubleshooting, and migrating production workloads in AWS.
- Strong knowledge of TCP/IP, routing, subnetting, DNS, NAT, firewalls, VPNs, proxies, load balancers, security groups, network ACLs, and AWS networking services.
- Production experience with VPC architecture, Transit Gateway, Route 53, ALB/NLB, PrivateLink/VPC endpoints, VPN connectivity, and multi-account or hybrid-network environments.
- Proven experience executing data-center, hosted-infrastructure, lift-and-shift, re-platforming, or cloud-modernization migrations involving live production workloads.
- Advanced proficiency with Terraform and experience managing production infrastructure through version-controlled IaC.
- Strong Linux systems administration and troubleshooting skills, including experience with legacy environments and operating-system modernization.
- Production experience with Docker and container orchestration platforms such as ECS, EKS, or Kubernetes.
- Experience designing and operating modern CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Argo CD, or similar platforms.
- Experience implementing and troubleshooting monitoring, logging, metrics, and alerting platforms such as Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, or comparable tooling.
- Strong scripting ability using Python, Bash, or similar languages to automate infrastructure and operational workflows.
- Experience supporting business-critical production environments where uptime, change control, and careful migration planning matter.
