Reporting to the Manager, DevOps (Platform Engineering), this role builds production-ready cloud architectures in AWS, codifies everything (Infrastructure as Code), and drives reliable CI/CD with strong guardrails. As a DevOps Engineer III, you'll own complex components, accelerate product teams, and collaborate across Security, App Dev, and SRE, without formal people management responsibilities. This role also carries hands-on database performance ownership — from query optimization up through deployment pipelines — and partners with full-stack engineering to help own infrastructure end-to-end as the business scales.
