• Implement secrets management using AWS Secrets Manager / SSM integrated with Kubernetes
• Design and operate RDS PostgreSQL (multi-AZ, encrypted, backups, PITR)
• Architect S3 storage for application assets with lifecycle, encryption, and access controls
• Implement ElastiCache (Redis) for caching and background processing
• Build full Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform (preferred)
• Implement CI/CD pipelines for container build, security scanning, and EKS deployment
• Standardize Helm/Kustomize deployment patterns
• Define environment strategy (dev/stage/prod) with safe promotion and rollback
• Design least-privilege IAM and network security architecture
• Implement metrics, logs, and tracing (CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry)
• Define SLOs, alerts, and incident response runbooks
• Architect disaster recovery and backup strategies

QUALIFICATIONS:

• 8+ years in systems architecture, platform, or DevOps roles

• Strong Terraform and CI/CD experience
• Strong networking and Linux fundamentals
• Proven experience operating production systems with uptime and security requirements
• Experience supporting Node.js / Express platforms (preferred)
• Experience with webhook-heavy systems (e.g., Stripe) (preferred)
