Senior DevOps/Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

Svitla Systems Inc. is looking for a Senior DevOps/Cloud Infrastructure Engineer for a full-time position (40 hours per week) on a short-term project in Argentina. Our client is a software company focused on an AI-driven sales automation platform for lead qualification and engagement.

You will help improve, automate, and secure our cloud infrastructure and deployment workflows across AWS and GCP. This is a hands-on role for someone who can quickly understand the current environment, identify gaps, and drive improvements with minimal direction. The primary focus will be to streamline deployments, migrate manual and script-based infrastructure workflows to Terraform, improve CI/CD reliability, tighten production access controls, and support SOC 2 compliance readiness.

The ideal candidate has strong production experience with Terraform, GitHub Actions, AWS, GCP, serverless infrastructure, networking, IAM, observability, and compliance-oriented DevOps practices.

Current Cloud And Deployment Setup Includes

• AWS and GCP are the primary cloud platforms.
• AWS Amplify deployments are currently managed and triggered directly through AWS Amplify.
• AWS Lambda functions are currently managed using the Serverless Framework.
• Vertex AI Pipelines are deployed across multiple tenants, and their deployment times need to be optimized.
• Tenant provisioning is currently handled partially through scripts.
• GitHub is the primary source control and automation platform.
• SOC 2 controls require ongoing maintenance and improvement.
  
  

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in DevOps, cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, or systems engineering.
• Strong experience with Terraform and infrastructure as code (IaC) in production environments.
• Strong knowledge of and experience with SecOps.
• Expertise in managing infrastructure across AWS and GCP.
• In-depth understanding of building and maintaining GitHub Actions workflows.
• Strong knowledge of GitHub Actions and CI/CD automation.
• Understanding of multi-tenant provisioning automation.
• Knowledge of least-privilege access and just-in-time (JIT) access.
• Experience with SOC 2 technical controls.
• Experience with production incident response and troubleshooting.
• Experience with AWS services, including Lambda, IAM, VPC, Amplify, CloudWatch, Secrets Manager, and Parameter Store.
• Experience with GCP services and capabilities, including Vertex AI, IAM, VPC networking, cloud security, and Cloud Logging/Monitoring/observability.
• Experience migrating manual or framework-based infrastructure to Infrastructure as Code.
• Strong understanding of Linux, networking, DNS, IAM, and cloud security fundamentals.
• Experience implementing least-privilege access and production access controls.
• Experience with monitoring, logging, and observability tools.
• Solid scripting experience with Bash, Python, Go, or similar languages.
• Ability to work independently, clarify ambiguity, and drive implementation with minimal guidance.
• Strong documentation and communication skills.
• Self-directed professional who can identify what needs to be done and take action without waiting for detailed instructions.
• Ownership-oriented professional who treats infrastructure reliability, security, and deployment quality as their responsibility.
• Ability to balance speed, quality, and maintainability without over-engineering.
• Ability to design access, automation, and deployment workflows with least-privilege principles and auditability in mind.
• Ability to work well with engineering, product, and leadership teams.
• Documentation-focused professional who can leave behind clear runbooks, diagrams, and processes that the team can maintain.
• Ability to focus on measurable improvements in deployment speed, reliability, security, and compliance.
  
  

The Candidate Can Work On Projects Such As

• Move AWS Amplify deployments from direct Amplify workflows to GitHub-triggered CI/CD.
• Migrate AWS Lambda/serverless infrastructure to Terraform.
• Migrate tenant provisioning scripts to Terraform modules and GitHub Actions workflows.

• Document infrastructure architecture and deployment workflows.
  
  

Will be a plus

• Experience with multi-tenant SaaS infrastructure.
• Familiarity with Vertex AI Pipelines or ML/AI deployment workflows.
• Understanding of optimizing long-running cloud deployment pipelines.
• Familiarity with GitOps or declarative infrastructure patterns.
