Senior Platform Engineer

Title: Senior DevOps/Cloud Platform Engineer
Job Type: Full-Time
Contract Length: TBD
Pay Range: ~75-100/hr
Target Start Date: ASAP
Location: Boston, MA

About the Opportunity:
Our client, a leader in Data Platforms and Cloud Infrastructure, is looking for a skilled Senior DevOps/Cloud Platform Engineer to join their team for a high-impact engagement. This project involves architecting and operating secure, scalable AWS infrastructure supporting a high-availability data platform. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables:
This role is focused on the successful completion of specific tasks and deliverables. Your responsibilities will include:

• Architect and operate secure, scalable AWS infrastructure supporting a high-availability data platform.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines enabling reliable, automated deployments.
• Implement Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar tools.
• Design and manage containerized environments (EKS, Kubernetes, Docker).
• Ensure platform uptime, reliability, and performance for real-time API and data services.
• Implement full observability stack (monitoring, logging, tracing, alerting).
• Enforce security, compliance, and operational best practices aligned with enterprise standards.
• Optimize cloud cost, scalability, and system performance.
• Partner with engineering, security, and product teams to enable platform growth.

Required Skills & Experience:
We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successful contract engagements. The ideal candidate will have:

• 7+ years of experience in a similar role, specifically in DevOps / Cloud Engineering.
• Deep expertise in AWS (VPC, IAM, EKS, ECS, Lambda, RDS, S3, CloudFront, networking, security). This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
• Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform preferred), building and scaling production cloud platforms, and CI/CD pipeline architecture and automation.
• Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team.
