DevOps Engineer

This position is with a growing software company in Phoenix that is building out its cloud engineering team and looking for a full time AWS DevOps Engineer. They’re modernizing their infrastructure and moving toward a full automated, scalable setup using tools like Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes (EKS), and a mix of serverless AWS services. It’s a hands on role where you’d get to own CI/CD pipelines, streamline deployments, and really shape how their cloud environments run.
This is a great spot for someone who loves variety, collaboration, and seeing their work make an impact. The team moves quickly, values new ideas, and gives a lot of autonomy to their engineers. You’d be part of a tight knit group that’s modernizing systems from the ground up. If you enjoy solving real infrastructure challenges and want to grow in a place that invests in both people and tech this role is for you.
