Senior AWS DevOps Engineer

The customer platform is running on top of AWS. They have several accounts, built following the cloud landing zone concept. They use SaaS solutions to improve the scalability, usability, and security of the platform. We can particularly mention:

• Datadog that is used for monitoring purpose.
• Okta as our center of Identity and user management.
• Prisma cloud, gather insights and benchmark the platform with the best security practices.
• Cloudflare to provide zero trust access to internal applications (no VPN is used).

All applications are deployed using Kubernetes, managed by 4 Kubernetes clusters for different environments.
The customer believes in Automation and Infrastructure as code, therefore, nothing is done manually, using a CICD that deploys resources using Terraform / Terragrunt and Argocd / Helm.

• The customer is standing for customer quality, you should design and implement strategies to make sure the platform is running flawlessly.
