Senior Cloud DevOps Engineer

SUMMARY:

POSITION INFO:
My client is an Agritech company using modern cloud technology to support critical decision‑making across the agricultural sector, an industry undergoing rapid digital transformation. They are looking for a Senior Cloud DevOps Engineer to take ownership of the AWS infrastructure that underpins their production platform. This is not a \"run‑book\" or support‑heavy role. It's about designing, evolving, and scaling cloud systems that directly impact product reliability, performance, and growth. You'll work closely with software engineers and data teams to design secure, observable, and highly available infrastructure. A large part of the role involves improving CI\/CD pipelines, increasing automation, and reducing friction for engineering teams. Your decisions will shape how the platform scales and how quickly new features reach production. Senior engineers are trusted here. You'll have the space to introduce better tooling, challenge existing approaches, and own infrastructure decisions end‑to‑end. The work is hands‑on, technically deep, and closely tied to real‑world outcomes, ideal for a DevOps engineer who wants ownership over ticket queues. The culture is pragmatic and engineering‑driven: strong technical standards, minimal red tape, and a genuine focus on building systems that last.
