Additional Comments:

JD: AWS Lead DevOps Engineer Key Responsibilities: Define and drive the DevOps strategy, standards, and best practices across multiple product teams and environments hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Lead the design, implementation, and management of enterprise-grade CI/CD pipelines tailored for regulated environments like banking and financial services. Architect and guide the development of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools like Terraform and CloudFormation, ensuring secure, scalable, and compliant infrastructure provisioning. Spearhead containerization and orchestration solutions (EKS/ECS) with strong focus on network isolation, workload security, and high availability—critical in banking deployments. Embed DevSecOps controls into the delivery lifecycle including integration of SonarQube, OWASP ZAP, SCA, secrets management, and policy-as-code. Lead the implementation of environment segregation, role-based access controls (RBAC), and audit logging to comply with banking standards like PCI-DSS, SOX, and RBI guidelines. Design and enforce secure branching and release management strategies to support multi-region, multi-tenant deployments commonly seen in core banking platforms. Enable observability and SRE practices through AWS CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, and set SLIs/SLOs to meet banking SLAs and uptime requirements. Drive initiatives for zero-downtime deployments, disaster recovery automation, data masking for non-prod environments, and compliance-as-code. Provide technical mentorship and leadership to DevOps teams; lead incident response and RCA sessions in alignment with banking-grade incident handling protocols. Experience: 12+ years of total experience, with 6+ years in DevOps roles, and 3+ years in a leadership or architecture capacity, preferably within banking or fintech organizations. Proven experience designing and managing DevOps pipelines for BFSI applications with high security, compliance, and auditability requirements. Deep expertise with AWS services: EC2, Lambda, S3, IAM, VPC, Route 53, ELB, EKS/ECS, RDS, KMS, CloudFront, WAF. Hands-on experience in multi-account AWS environments with guardrails, compliance frameworks, and cost center mapping. Strong experience in Terraform, reusable module design, and secrets rotation using AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, etc. Familiarity with banking SDLC controls, including stage promotion governance, artifact signing, RBAC, segregation of duties, and secure credential handling. Strong exposure to banking compliance standards like ISO 27001, PCI-DSS etc AWS certifications such as DevOps Engineer – Professional, Solutions Architect – Professional, and CKA/CKS are highly desirable. Excellent leadership, communication, and stakeholder management skills, particularly in cross-functional, regulated delivery environments.
