Argocd Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Senior AWS Devops Architect with Landing Zone

Fort Worth, TX- Onsite

12 Months Contract

Job Description

The Role

We are looking for someone who can work directly with enterprise customers to design, build, and deliver cloud foundations that support large-scale platforms and migration programs. This is a consulting role with real hands-on depth. You will not just advise — you to build alongside delivery teams and own the technical outcomes.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement AWS Landing Zones (Control Tower, AFT, multi-account strategy) with governance, networking, identity, and security baselines
• Define cloud platform strategies for application modernization, database migrations, container orchestration (EKS), and hybrid architecture
• Build and optimize Infrastructure CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps or similar (YAML pipelines, service connections, environments, approvals) with Terraform/Terragrunt as the primary IaC tool
• Design Terraform module architectures including reusable modules, remote state management, workspace strategies, and drift detection for enterprise-scale AWS environments
• Establish governance frameworks using AWS Service Control Policies, IAM, Cost Explorer, tagging strategies, and compliance guardrails — all deployed and enforced through CI/CD
• Lead platform engineering efforts including EKS cluster design, networking (VPC, Transit Gateway, PrivateLink), and security architecture
• Implement observability and monitoring strategies using CloudWatch, Datadog, or similar tooling
• Guide and mentor delivery teams through complex technical decisions

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years in cloud infrastructure with deep hands-on experience in AWS
• Expert-level Terraform skills including modules, providers, state management, workspaces, CI/CD integration, and managing large multi-environment deployments
• Strong CI/CD pipeline experience (Azure DevOps YAML pipelines, GitHub Actions, or similar) for infrastructure delivery including multi-stage deployments, variable groups, release gates, and artifact management
• Proven track record delivering Landing Zones at enterprise scale (multi-account strategy, hub-spoke networking, SCPs, policy-as-code via Terraform)
• Strong experience with AWS core services: EKS, RDS, IAM, VPC, S3, Secrets Manager, KMS, CloudFormation/CDK
• Solid understanding of Infrastructure CI/CD patterns like plan/apply workflows, automated testing, drift detection, and governed promotion across environments
• Experience with containerization and Kubernetes (EKS, Helm, ArgoCD/GitOps patterns)
• Ability to consult at the executive level and translate technical complexity into business decisions
• Experience leading or guiding delivery teams through platform builds and migrations without being a people manager
• Comfortable working in ambiguous, fast-moving enterprise environments

Good to Have

• AWS certifications (Solutions Architect Professional, DevOps Engineer Professional)
• Azure knowledge (Landing Zones, Azure DevOps) as a secondary cloud
• Experience with EKS, service mesh (Istio), and GitOps (ArgoCD)
• Database migration experience (RDS, DMS, PostgreSQL)
• Background in regulated industries (pharma, financial services, manufacturing)
• Experience with security scanning integration (SAST, DAST, SCA) in CI/CD pipelines
• SAP on AWS migration experience

A Few Things to Note

• This is not a pure advisory or slide-deck role. You will be hands-on.
• This is not an operations or support role. You build foundations and move on.
• This is not a single-project role. You will work across multiple enterprise customers.
