About The Role

We are seeking an experienced Part-Time Mid-Level DevOps Engineer to be the architect of our infrastructure and deployment excellence. You will own the optimization, reliability, and scalability of our core applications, which include Node.js REST APIs and Next.js/React frontend applications. This role is pivotal and requires deep expertise in AWS cloud provisioning, relentless CI/CD automation, and robust management of critical data, caching, and search services.

What You'll Be Doing -

Cloud & Infrastructure Management

AWS Provisioning: Provision, configure, and maintain cloud resources primarily within AWS, with a focus on EC2 and/or Lightsail instances for application hosting and S3 for static asset storage.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC): (Bonus/Growth area) Implement and advocate for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices using tools like Terraform or CloudFormation to ensure consistent, repeatable deployments.

Scalability & Reliability: Design and implement solutions to ensure the high availability, disaster recovery, and elastic scalability of all application components under varying traffic loads.

CI/CD & Deployment

Automation: Design, implement, and maintain separate, robust CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to automate testing, building, and deployment for both the standalone Node.js backend and the Next.js/React frontend.

Containerization: (Where applicable) Manage and deploy applications using Docker containers, potentially leveraging ECS or Kubernetes for orchestration to enhance deployment velocity.

Data, Caching & Search

Data Services: Configure, secure, and manage MongoDB Atlas as the primary persistent data store.

High-Speed Caching: Optimize application performance by managing high-speed session and data caching using Redis instances.

Search Management: Deploy, monitor, and ensure the optimal performance and reliability of Elasticsearch clusters for internal search and indexing features.

Networking & Delivery

Traffic Control: Configure and manage NGINX for secure and efficient reverse proxying, load balancing, and SSL/TLS termination across frontend and backend services.

Global Delivery: Utilize Cloudflare for DNS management and security layers. Crucially, configure and optimize AWS CloudFront distributions for the high-speed and secure delivery of the Next.js/React frontend application and static assets.

Monitoring, Logging & Security

Observability: Collaborate with development teams to set up comprehensive Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and centralized logging (e.g., ELK Stack, CloudWatch, etc.) to proactively identify and resolve bottlenecks in architecture or deployment.

Security Posture: Ensure best practices for cloud security, network segregation, and access control across the infrastructure.

Required Skills & Experience

Professional Experience: 3+ years of professional experience in a DevOps, SRE, or similar role, preferably in a decoupled service environment.
Cloud Platforms: Strong practical experience with AWS core services, specifically managing EC2/Lightsail instances and configuring S3.
CI/CD: Expert proficiency in building, securing, and maintaining robust deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions.
Data Services: Proven experience configuring, securing, and optimizing production deployments of MongoDB Atlas and managing high-availability Redis instances.
Web Server/Proxy: Solid experience with NGINX configuration for reverse proxying, load balancing, and SSL termination for both Node.js and Next.js applications.
Networking & Delivery: Extensive experience configuring and utilizing Cloudflare for DNS and security features, and configuring and optimizing AWS CloudFront distributions.
Scalability: Demonstrated ability to design infrastructure for high availability and horizontal scalability to handle significant traffic growth.
Architectures: Experience deploying and managing decoupled architectures (separate Node.js REST API backend and Next.js/React frontend).

Bonus Points

Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Hands-on experience with Terraform or CloudFormation.
Containerization: Familiarity with Docker and orchestration technologies like Kubernetes or AWS ECS.
Logging & Monitoring: Experience deploying and maintaining centralized logging and APM tools (e.g., Elastic Stack, Datadog).
High Traffic: Prior experience working in a high-traffic production environment with stringent security requirements.
