About The Position

As an AWS Infrastructure / DevOps Engineer (Senior), you will help own the reliability, security, scalability, and operational maturity of Full Swing's AWS environment. This role exists to eliminate AWS single-resource dependency, increase capacity for infrastructure automation, and strengthen incident response, observability, identity, data protection, and compliance-aligned controls. The AWS Infrastructure / DevOps Engineer will partner with engineering, QA, support, security, and business stakeholders to improve uptime, reduce mean time to repair (MTTR), reduce toil through automation, and ensure cloud operations remain documented, measurable, and resilient.

Requirements

7+ years of experience in infrastructure engineering, DevOps, site reliability engineering, cloud operations, systems engineering, or a related technical role; 5+ years of hands-on AWS experience in production environments preferred.
Proven experience operating business-critical AWS environments with uptime expectations, production support, on-call participation, incident management, and documented recovery processes.
Deep AWS expertise across core services such as IAM, Organizations/Control Tower, VPC, EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, RDS/Aurora, S3, ELB/ALB, Route 53, CloudFront, WAF, CloudWatch, CloudTrail, Config, GuardDuty, Security Hub, Backup, KMS, and Secrets Manager.
Strong infrastructure as code and automation skills using Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK, Python, Bash, PowerShell, or comparable tools.
Experience designing CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline, or equivalent tooling.
Strong understanding of Linux and/or Windows administration, networking, DNS/TLS, load balancing, containers, databases, backup/restore, and secure operational practices.
Demonstrated ability to implement observability, alerting, service-level objectives, runbooks, incident response practices, root cause analysis, and post-incident corrective action tracking.
Experience supporting security and compliance-aligned practices, including least privilege access, vulnerability remediation, logging, encryption, data retention, change control, and audit evidence.
Ability to assess risk, make sound decisions under pressure, and communicate status, impact, and tradeoffs clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Strong documentation, mentoring, and cross-training skills that reduce operational dependency on a single individual.

AWS certifications such as AWS Certified DevOps Engineer - Professional, Solutions Architect - Professional, SysOps Administrator, or Security - Specialty preferred but not required.

Responsibilities

Own and improve AWS infrastructure supporting Full Swing production, staging, and internal environments, with a focus on availability, scalability, security, and cost-conscious operations.
Design, implement, and maintain AWS architecture across accounts, networking, compute, container or serverless services, databases, storage, load balancing, DNS/CDN, security tooling, backup, and disaster recovery capabilities.
Build and maintain infrastructure as code using Terraform, AWS CDK, CloudFormation, or similar tools, ensuring repeatable deployments, peer review, version control, and environment parity.
Automate operational workflows including provisioning, configuration, CI/CD integrations, patching, backup validation, certificate or secret rotation, access reviews, and routine maintenance to reduce toil.
Strengthen AWS identity and security posture through IAM least privilege, MFA/SSO patterns, encryption, secrets management, logging, vulnerability remediation, guardrails, and secure network controls.
Maintain observability across AWS environments, including logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, alerts, service-level indicators, and actionable runbooks that improve detection, escalation, and MTTR.
Lead or participate in production incident response, on-call escalation, root cause analysis, post-incident reviews, corrective actions, and stakeholder communication.
Develop and test resilience practices including high availability patterns, capacity planning, scaling policies, backup and restore testing, disaster recovery plans, and peak-season readiness.
Partner with engineering to improve release pipelines, environment management, deployment safety, rollback procedures, and production readiness standards.
Maintain documentation, SOPs, runbooks, architecture diagrams, control evidence, and cross-training materials to reduce single points of failure and improve operational continuity.
Review AWS costs and resource utilization; recommend rightsizing, lifecycle policies, savings inputs, and automation to control spend without compromising reliability.
Support compliance-aligned controls related to change management, access, logging, encryption, data retention, backup/recovery, evidence collection, and audit readiness.
