Job Description

We are looking for a highly skilled AWS + Terraform Engineer with strong hands-on experience in Infrastructure as Code (IaC), AWS infrastructure provisioning, GitLab CI/CD, and DevSecOps practices.

The ideal candidate should have expert-level Terraform experience, particularly in designing, developing, and provisioning AWS infrastructure using Terraform. Candidates whose experience is primarily limited to monitoring, production support, or Terraform maintenance without hands-on provisioning experience will not be suitable.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, maintain, and troubleshoot Terraform configurations/modules for provisioning and managing AWS infrastructure.
• Perform hands-on AWS infrastructure provisioning using Terraform, including networking, compute, storage, IAM, security, and other AWS services.
• Develop reusable and scalable Terraform modules following Infrastructure as Code best practices.
• Work extensively with Terraform commands such as init, validate, plan, apply, destroy, state management, variables, outputs, modules, workspaces, and remote backends.
• Manage Terraform state and implement appropriate remote state, locking, and environment management strategies.
• Create and maintain GitLab CI/CD pipelines for automated Terraform validation, planning, and infrastructure deployment. GitLab supports CI/CD workflows for AWS deployments and Terraform-based infrastructure pipelines.
• Integrate Terraform workflows with Git, GitLab, branching strategies, merge requests, approvals, and automated deployments.
• Implement DevSecOps practices including security scanning, policy validation, compliance checks, and infrastructure security controls.
• Work with containerized environments such as Docker and Kubernetes/EKS.
• Collaborate with cloud/platform teams to design secure, scalable, highly available AWS infrastructure.
• Troubleshoot Terraform deployment failures, AWS infrastructure issues, state-related problems, and CI/CD pipeline failures.
• Implement infrastructure changes through controlled Terraform Plan Review Apply workflows.
• Follow AWS security and IAM best practices, including least-privilege access and secure authentication mechanisms.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning and operational processes wherever possible.
