Afriwork is looking for a highly experienced Senior DevOps Engineer to own and improve our AWS infrastructure.

We need someone with extensive hands-on experience managing complex, production-grade systems on AWS. This role requires exceptional attention to detail. Someone who notices risks others miss, investigates unusual behavior, and proactively prevents incidents rather than only responding after systems fail.

Responsibilities

Manage and improve Afriwork’s production, staging and multiple development infrastructure on AWS.
Ensure our systems are reliable, secure, scalable, and cost-efficient.
Own and improve CI/CD pipelines, deployment processes, health checks, and rollback procedures.
Implement strong monitoring, logging, alerting, and infrastructure observability.
Investigate production incidents, performance bottlenecks, database issues, and infrastructure failures.
Manage AWS services such as EC2, Elastic Beanstalk, RDS, S3, CloudFront, Amplify, Route 53, IAM, VPC, and CloudWatch.
Manage infrastructure through CloudFormation, AWS CDK, Terraform or similar tools.
Strengthen access controls, secrets management, backups, disaster recovery, and infrastructure security.
Work closely with backend engineers to troubleshoot application and PostgreSQL performance issues.
Maintain clear infrastructure documentation, runbooks, and incident-response procedures.

Requirements

Strong professional experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or cloud infrastructure.
Extensive experience managing complex production infrastructure on AWS.
Strong knowledge of AWS networking, IAM, security, monitoring, and database services.
Experience with PostgreSQL and AWS RDS performance monitoring.
Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and other similar tools.
Experience with infrastructure as code.
Strong Linux, Docker, networking, and production troubleshooting skills.
Experience with backup, recovery, high availability, and incident response.
Ability to clearly communicate infrastructure risks and recommendations.

Nice to Have

AWS Associate or Professional-level certifications.
Experience with Node.js, GraphQL, Hasura, Nuxt.js or Flutter.
Experience supporting high-traffic marketplaces or growing technology platforms.
