About the role
A Tier-1 U.S. bank is modernising its 20-year-old core platform. We need a seasoned DevOps engineer to design and operate SageMaker-based ML pipelines in AWS while meeting strict security, uptime, and cost-management requirements.
What you’ll do
- Provision secure landing zones with AWS CDK and Terraform; implement least-privilege IAM.
- Build GitOps pipelines in Argo CD for continuous model retraining, blue/green inference, and data-drift checks.
- Break monolithic services into EKS microservices behind API Gateway with zero‑downtime principles.
- Set up CloudWatch and Grafana dashboards for latency, cost, and data‑quality SLOs with real‑time alerts.
- Apply policy‑as‑code (OPA or Kyverno) so every container meets banking‑grade compliance at commit time.
- Champion infrastructure‑as‑code: every subnet, secret, and S3 bucket lands through a pull request.
What you bring
- 7+ years DevOps / SRE on AWS, with at least 3 years supporting ML or data‑heavy platforms.
- Deep expertise in Terraform or CDK, containers, and EKS operations.
- Demonstrated FinOps results in regulated environments (banking, healthcare, etc.).
- Strong experience with SageMaker; familiarity with Bedrock, EMR, Kafka, or Iceberg is a plus.
- Proficiency with CloudWatch, Grafana, Prometheus, Trivy, Falco, and related security tools.
- Clear, concise communicator committed to blameless post‑mortems.
- BS in Computer Science (or equivalent). AWS Professional or CKA cert preferred.
Why contract with us
- Dedicated budget for CKA, AWS Solutions Architect Professional, or FinOps Practitioner certification.
- Paid attendance (virtual or on‑site) at re:Invent or KubeCon.
- Monthly home‑office or co‑working stipend.
- Remote‑first culture: four‑hour PST overlap window; the rest is async.
- Refer a candidate and earn a $1,000 bonus if they are hired.
