Job Description
Senior DevOps
Department: SaaS
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Prague
We are looking for a Senior Development Operations Engineer with deep expertise in AWS cloud infrastructure, infrastructure automation, and DevOps practices. This role sits at the intersection of cloud engineering and operational reliability, with a primary focus on architecting, implementing, and maintaining highly available infrastructure across AWS Commercial and AWS European Sovereign Cloud (EUSC) environments. You will also coordinate with US-based teams who manage AWS GovCloud.
Success in this role requires strong ownership, problem-solving ability, and a commitment to automation, reliability, and security best practices. You will work heavily with infrastructure automation, Terraform orchestration approval workflows, and support operations — while applying DevOps principles of continuous delivery, observability, and infrastructure as code throughout.
A Typical Day in the Life Includes:
- Committing code to Git repositories — maintaining and evolving infrastructure automation
- Reviewing and approving Terraform deployment requests in orchestration queues
- Responding to operational support tickets (Jira, ServiceNow)
- Participating in code reviews and knowledge-sharing sessions
Infrastructure Automation & Development
- Architect, implement, and operate innovative and highly available cloud infrastructure solutions
- Develop, test, and deploy changes from dev to production following the standard release process
- Build CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and configuration changes
- Implement infrastructure as code for all resources with proper state management and drift detection
AWS Cloud Operations
- Work primarily in AWS Commercial and AWS European Sovereign Cloud environments (the team also manages AWS GovCloud via US-based personnel)
- Deploy and maintain infrastructure using Terraform and CloudFormation
- Define and enforce secure cross-account access patterns and IAM policies
- Operate and optimize AWS networking services: VPC, Transit Gateway, VPC Endpoints
Operational Support & Compliance
- Manage Terraform orchestration approval workflows, ensuring deployment queues are never left unattended
- Respond to operational support tickets via Jira and ServiceNow (cloud role changes, product stack deployments, infrastructure requests)
- Participate in on-call rotation as required
AI Skillset
- Hands-on AI usage required: proven use of AI coding assistants/agents to generate or improve code and automation
- Examples: Copilot, Claude, Amazon Q Developer (Q/Kiro), Cursor, CodeWhisperer
- Ability to validate AI outputs: tests, logs, reviews, staged rollout/rollback
Collaboration & Communication
- Collaborate with colleagues from other infrastructure teams (Database, Storage, Network) and support them
- Coordinate with cross-regional teams across US and EU time zones
- Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences
Basic Qualifications:
- Experience in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, or infrastructure operations roles
- Hands-on AWS experience with depth in services heavily used for DevOps Automation (CloudFormation, Lambda, ECS, Containers, EC2, Step Functions, Fargate, API Gateway, SSM)
- AWS network infrastructure knowledge (VPC, peering, transit gateway, direct connect, IPv4 and IPv6 addressing)
- AWS security services (IAM, KMS, CloudTrail)
- Proficiency with infrastructure as code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation)
- Experience writing code in Python, Bash
- Full understanding and demonstrable usage of Git
- Experience with CI/CD platforms (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar)
- Strong communication skills, both verbal and written
- Ability to work across time zones with globally distributed teams
- Understanding of change management and incident management processes
- Comfortable with hands-on keyboard activity — you will be committing code to repositories daily
Preferred Qualifications:
- AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (or willingness to obtain within first year)
- Experience with multi-region or global infrastructure architectures
- Familiarity with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, HIPAA, FedRAMP) as they relate to cloud infrastructure
- Experience with approval workflow systems and ITSM ticketing processes
- Familiarity with zero-trust architectures and cloud security best practices
- Experience working in a globally distributed team
