DevOps Engineer

About the Role

This DevOps Engineer role at Toradex involves building and maintaining reliable, secure, and scalable cloud infrastructure on AWS. You will be responsible for designing and implementing infrastructure as code using Terraform or CloudFormation, creating CI/CD pipelines in GitLab, and developing automation scripts to improve operational consistency.

You will also work on migrating services from on-premises environments to the cloud, improving global delivery of services through latency reduction and regional placement, and developing approaches to handle growing automated and AI-originated traffic.

Key Responsibilities

• Operate and continuously improve the AWS environment with clear ownership of reliability, availability, security, and cost awareness.
• Protect website availability through sound architecture for caching, traffic filtering, DNS, origin protection, failover, capacity, and observability.
• Maintain infrastructure as code with Terraform or CloudFormation, including reusable modules, peer review, state management, environment separation, and controlled change processes.
• Design CI/CD pipelines in GitLab or similar tooling that support automated testing, approvals, rollback options, segregation of duties, and resilient delivery.
• Develop scripts, automation, and small services in languages such as Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, or Ruby to reduce manual work and improve operational consistency.
• Use AI-assisted development methods responsibly to create proof-of-concept projects quickly, while keeping source control, security checks, documentation, and deployment discipline in place.
• Monitor systems end to end, investigate incidents, perform root-cause analysis, and turn recurring issues into engineering improvements.

Skills & Qualifications

• Strong hands-on AWS experience across web delivery, compute, storage, databases, networking, security, and operational tooling.
• Ability to design for high availability, resilience, disaster recovery, performance, and cost efficiency in production environments.
• Proficiency with Terraform or CloudFormation, including modular design, version control, environment promotion, and safe change management.
• Very good knowledge of Git, preferably GitLab, including merge request workflows, branching strategy, protected environments, and release governance.
• Experience building CI/CD pipelines with automated checks, approvals, rollback strategies, artifact handling, secrets protection, and segregation of duties.
• Programming and scripting ability in Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, or similar languages for automation, tooling, and rapid proof-of-concept development.
• Comfortable using AI-assisted development tools to accelerate experiments and PoCs, with enough engineering discipline to validate, secure, and productionize only what is appropriate.
• Good understanding of JSON, APIs, configuration formats, policy documents, and infrastructure/deployment manifests.
• Solid understanding of monitoring, logging, alerting, incident response, root-cause analysis and operational work instructions.
• Good grasp of cloud and application security basics, including IAM, least privilege, secrets management, network exposure, dependency risks, and audit trails.
• Understanding of global service delivery patterns, including CDN usage, DNS strategy, regional placement, latency optimization, and edge security.
• Familiarity with bot management, WAF rule tuning, rate limiting, anomaly detection, and other tactics for managing AI-generated or automated traffic is highly desirable.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field.

What You'll Learn

In this role, you will gain hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure, DevOps practices, and modern development tools. You will learn how to design and implement scalable and secure cloud infrastructure, create efficient CI/CD pipelines, and develop automation scripts to improve operational consistency.

You will also have the opportunity to work on complex projects, such as migrating services from on-premises environments to the cloud, improving global delivery of services through latency reduction and regional placement, and developing approaches to handle growing automated and AI-originated traffic.

Resume Tip
