What is a Senior AWS DevOps Engineer?

Senior AWS DevOps Engineers are experienced professionals who combine software development and IT operations expertise, focusing on deploying, managing, and automating cloud infrastructure on Amazon Web Services (AWS). They design and implement CI/CD pipelines, monitor systems, ensure security and scalability, and optimize cloud resources. Their role often includes mentoring junior team members, leading projects, and collaborating with development and operations teams to achieve faster and more reliable software delivery.

What are the primary challenges a Senior AWS DevOps Engineer faces when managing large-scale cloud infrastructure?

Senior AWS DevOps Engineers often encounter challenges such as ensuring seamless automation across diverse environments, maintaining security compliance, and optimizing cloud costs. Managing large-scale infrastructure requires balancing agility with reliability, which means constantly monitoring system performance, implementing robust CI/CD pipelines, and proactively addressing scalability issues. Close collaboration with development, security, and operations teams is essential to align infrastructure with evolving business needs and to quickly resolve any incidents that arise.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Senior AWS DevOps Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Senior AWS DevOps Engineer, you need advanced knowledge of cloud infrastructure, automation, CI/CD pipelines, and expertise in AWS services, typically supported by a computer science degree and AWS certifications. Familiarity with tools like Terraform, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, and monitoring systems such as CloudWatch is essential. Excellent problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills help you lead projects and coordinate across teams. These skills ensure reliable, scalable, and efficient cloud environments that support business goals and rapid software delivery.

Sr AWS DevOps Engineer
Location: Onsite - Chantilly, VA
Clearance Requirement: U.S. Citizenship required with the ability to obtain a U.S. Government security clearance
Strategic Business Systems (SBS) is a National Information Technology Services company providing infrastructure design, integration, engineering, and operational support to commercial and Federal Government customers.
We have an exciting opportunity for an AWS DevOps Engineer to join our growing cloud engineering team in Chantilly, VA. This position will support the development, automation, deployment, and operation of secure AWS cloud environments supporting U.S. Government missions.
The AWS DevOps Engineer will work with SBS's COSMOS platform, which enables mission owners to rapidly onboard and deploy AWS Impact Level (IL)-4/5 workloads while meeting Federal security and compliance requirements.
This is a hands-on engineering position for someone with a strong foundation in AWS who wants to work across cloud infrastructure, DevOps automation, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, containerization, and cloud-native application deployment. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working independently on technical tasks while collaborating with senior cloud architects, developers, and security engineers on larger platform initiatives.
Responsibilities
  • Build, deploy, configure, and maintain secure AWS cloud infrastructure supporting mission-critical applications and services.
  • Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using AWS CDK, CloudFormation, and/or Terraform.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines to automate application builds, testing, infrastructure provisioning, and deployments.
  • Support the deployment and operation of cloud-native and serverless applications utilizing AWS Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, S3, SQS, and other AWS services.
  • Deploy, manage, and troubleshoot containerized workloads and supporting AWS infrastructure.
  • Support cloud-hosted databases including Amazon RDS PostgreSQL and DynamoDB.
  • Automate common infrastructure, deployment, configuration, and operational tasks using scripting and Infrastructure as Code.
  • Implement and maintain cloud monitoring, logging, and alerting utilizing AWS CloudWatch and related services.
  • Configure and support AWS IAM, Secrets Manager, Systems Manager, and other security services following least-privilege and cloud security best practices.
  • Troubleshoot application, infrastructure, networking, deployment, and cloud service issues across development and production environments.
  • Work with Git-based development workflows, including branching, pull requests, code reviews, and automated deployments.
  • Partner with software developers to deploy and operate applications utilizing Node.js, JavaScript/TypeScript, React, and API-based architectures.
  • Collaborate with security teams to implement cloud security controls and support Federal security and compliance requirements.
  • Develop and maintain technical documentation, deployment procedures, architecture diagrams, and operational runbooks.
  • Participate in Agile development processes, technical planning, peer reviews, and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Evaluate new AWS services, DevOps tools, and automation capabilities that can improve platform reliability, security, and deployment velocity.

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related technical discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
  • 5+years of experience in DevOps, cloud engineering, systems engineering, software development, or a related technical discipline.
  • Hands-on experience deploying and supporting workloads in AWS.
  • Experience with core AWS services such as EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, IAM, API Gateway, and CloudWatch.
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code using AWS CDK, Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar technologies.
  • Experience building, maintaining, or supporting CI/CD pipelines.
  • Working knowledge of Git and modern source-control practices.
  • Experience with scripting and automation using Python, Bash, JavaScript/TypeScript, or similar languages.
  • Understanding of cloud networking concepts, including VPCs, subnets, routing, security groups, and load balancing.
  • Understanding of REST APIs, databases, and modern application architectures.
  • Experience troubleshooting cloud infrastructure and application deployment issues.
  • Understanding of cloud security principles, IAM, secrets management, and least-privilege access.
  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work effectively both independently and within a collaborative engineering team.
  • U.S. Citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance.
  • Ability to work onsite in Chantilly, VA.

Preferred Qualifications
  • AWS certification such as AWS Certified Developer - Associate, AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate, or AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate.
  • Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Amazon ECS, and/or Amazon EKS.
  • Experience with AWS CDK and TypeScript.
  • Experience developing or supporting Node.js applications.
  • Experience with PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, and SQL.
  • Familiarity with AWS Systems Manager, Secrets Manager, CloudWatch, and other AWS operational services.
  • Experience working with serverless and event-driven architectures.
  • Experience supporting automated security scanning within CI/CD pipelines.
  • Familiarity with DevSecOps practices and integrating security into the software development lifecycle.
  • Experience supporting highly available, scalable AWS environments.
  • Exposure to AWS GovCloud or Federal Government cloud environments.
  • Familiarity with Federal cloud security and compliance requirements.
  • Experience supporting production cloud environments and participating in incident troubleshooting and root-cause analysis.

Desired Characteristics
The successful candidate will be a hands-on engineer who enjoys solving problems through automation. This individual should be comfortable moving between AWS infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code, application deployments, troubleshooting, and cloud operations.
We are looking for someone who has moved beyond entry-level cloud administration and can independently execute DevOps engineering tasks while continuing to develop deeper expertise in cloud architecture, automation, security, and platform engineering.
