Senior DevOps Engineer – Contract
Job Description:
• Conduct a comprehensive audit of our AWS-based infrastructure (including ECS, Fargate, Terraform IaC, CloudWatch/Sentry monitoring, and disaster recovery setups) and Python/Django application to identify scalability, performance, reliability, and security gaps.
• Recommend and implement best practices for high-availability architectures, fault-tolerant mechanisms, and elastic scaling to handle high-traffic scenarios without downtime.
• Design and set up a shared tenant instance model, ensuring data isolation, independent scaling per tenant, and compliance with security standards.
• Facilitate load testing processes to identify performance optimization opportunities.
• Collaborate with our engineering team to enhance CI/CD pipelines, automate deployments, and integrate observability tools for proactive monitoring and alerting.
Requirements:
• 7+ years of DevOps experience, with proven expertise in building and optimizing high-availability, high-traffic applications (e.g., handling peak loads in SaaS environments).
• Deep knowledge of AWS services (ECS, Fargate, S3, CloudFront, WAF, CloudWatch) and Infrastructure-as-Code tools like Terraform.
• Familiarity with Python/Django ecosystems, including GraphQL (Graphene), task queues (Celery), and databases (PostgreSQL, Redis).
• Experience designing multi-tenant architectures with emphasis on isolation, scalability, and security.
• Expert knowledge of containerization (Docker), monitoring/anomaly detection.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to communicate technical recommendations clearly.
• Prior consulting or auditing roles in fast-growing startups or enterprise environments.
Benefits:
• Flexible part-time schedule
• Fully remote
• Competitive hourly rate commensurate with experience
