About the Role:Collaborate & Influence
- Drive technical direction and maintain high code quality through design reviews and code reviews
- Partner with Engineering Managers to plan, scope, and deliver infrastructure projects on time
- Contribute to the DevOps hiring process — including technical assessments and interview panels
- Build strong, trust-based relationships across engineering, product, and security teams.
Build & Automate
- Design, build, and own Novo's cloud infrastructure on AWS using infrastructure-as-code
(Terraform / Terragrunt)
- Automate everything — scaling, patching, incident response, secrets rotation, and day-2
operations
- Deploy and maintain self-service tooling so both the DevOps team and all of Novo's engineering
teams can move faster without bottlenecks
- Implement and evolve Novo's CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) for speed, safety, and
observability
- Partner with developers to build services aligned with modern design patterns (12-Factor, GitOps).
Secure & Observe
- Develop, document, and enforce security policies, protocols, and procedures across all
environments (dev, QA, staging, prod)
- Implement and manage secure networking connectivity to private resources with a Zero-Trust
approach
- Automated TLS certificate lifecycle management
- Monitor and troubleshoot services using Prometheus/Grafana, ELK, and CloudWatch — and
proactively identify gaps in observability coverage
- Design and maintain Nginx configurations, load balancing, and reverse proxy patterns.
Automation, AIOps & Modern Tooling
- Use AI-assisted tools (Google Gemini, LLM-based runbook generation, intelligent alerting) to
accelerate infrastructure delivery and reduce toil.
- Evaluate and adopt emerging AI DevOps tooling — from AIOps anomaly detection to AI-assisted incident triage.
- Build internal AI-augmented automations: auto-remediation scripts, policy-as-code evaluators,
and intelligent capacity recommendations
- Champion a culture of "automate before you delegate" — if you're doing something manually
twice, it should become a script or workflow.
Requirements for the role:Experience
- 8+ years in cloud infrastructure, with 3+ years hands-on AWS - owning complex systems
end-to-end and driving technical decisions across engineering teams.
Cloud & Infrastructure
- Deep expertise in AWS services, such as: EC2, EKS, ECS, RDS, Elasticache, S3, IAM, VPC, Route
53, CloudFront
- Expert-level Terraform (Terragrunt a strong plus), able to define custom internal modules to
bootstrap complete solutions
- Confident managing multi-account AWS environments
- Strong Linux systems knowledge — kernel, networking, performance tuning, package
management
- Container expertise: Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm chart authoring
- Kubernetes Topology: leverage Taints and tolerations, Affinities, Topology Spreads to build
reliable systems.
Automation & CI/CD
- Strong scripting skills in Bash and at least one general-purpose language (Python preferred)
- Experience with CI/CD platforms: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or CircleCI
- Source control mastery: Git (GitHub), branching strategies, code review workflows, GitOps
- Experience authoring reliable automation pipelines: from regular scripting to orchestration
workflows using tools such as GitHub Actions or Step Function.
Observability & Security
- Hands-on experience with configuring monitoring/logging stacks: Prometheus/Grafana, ELK, and CloudWatch.
- Nginx configuration, SSL/TLS management, and certificate lifecycle automation
- VPN implementation: OpenVPN
- Zero Trust Implementation: Cloudflare Tunnels.
- Familiarity with cloud security best practices: IAM least-privilege, secrets management (Vault /AWS Secrets Manager), network segmentation.
- Experience with Containers and Kubernetes security: Network Policies, RBAC, Logs and events
auditing, containers hardening, Seccomp.
Data & Middleware
- Experience supporting relational databases (PostgreSQL), caches (Redis, Memcache), and
message buses (Kafka/RedPanda, RabbitMQ), NoSQL Databases (MongoDB, DynamoDB)
- Working knowledge of networking fundamentals: DNS, TCP/IP, load balancing, CDN.
AI Fluency
- You actively use AI coding assistants (Copilot, Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT) as part of your daily
workflow - not occasionally.
- You have applied LLMs or AI tooling to infrastructure problems: incident summarization, code
generation, IaC linting, runbook drafting.
- You understand the limitations of AI-generated infrastructure code and apply critical review
before shipping to production.
- Curiosity about where AIOps, LLMOps, and platform engineering are heading — and excitement to help Novo get there first.
