QA Test Corp · Remote (remote) · full-time
Salary: $140K–$170K/year
QA Test Corp is seeking a Mid-level DevOps Engineer to design, build, and maintain the cloud infrastructure that powers our core engineering platform. You will work directly with software engineers, security, and platform teams to deliver reliable, scalable, and automated infrastructure solutions across our AWS environment. This is a high-ownership role where your decisions directly shape system reliability and deployment velocity.
In this position, you will be responsible for the full lifecycle of our infrastructure-as-code practices — from writing and reviewing Terraform modules to managing Kubernetes cluster operations and tuning CI/CD pipelines for speed and safety. You will champion automation-first thinking and help establish best practices that the broader engineering organization follows.
This is a fully remote, full-time position open to candidates based anywhere in the United States. You will collaborate asynchronously with a distributed team while participating in structured sprint cycles, on-call rotations, and cross-functional architecture reviews. We value engineers who write clear documentation, communicate proactively, and treat operational excellence as a feature.
Responsibilities
Design, provision, and maintain AWS infrastructure using Terraform, ensuring all resources are version-controlled and peer-reviewed via pull requests
Manage and optimize Kubernetes clusters (EKS), including node scaling, resource quotas, namespace isolation, and workload scheduling
Build, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins) to enable safe, repeatable, and rapid deployments across all environments
Implement and enforce Infrastructure as Code (IaC) standards, including module reuse, state management, and drift detection
Monitor system health using observability tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Datadog) and respond to incidents with root-cause analysis and post-mortems
Collaborate with software engineering teams to containerize applications, define Helm charts, and improve deployment reliability
Automate operational toil through scripting (Python, Bash, or Go) and self-service tooling that reduces friction for developers
Participate in on-call rotation, respond to production incidents, and drive improvements that reduce mean time to recovery (MTTR)
Enforce security best practices including IAM least-privilege policies, secrets management (e.g., AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault), and network segmentation
Document infrastructure architecture, runbooks, and operational procedures to maintain institutional knowledge across the team
Requirements
3–5 years of hands-on experience in a DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or Platform Engineering role
Demonstrated production experience with Kubernetes, including deploying, scaling, and troubleshooting containerized workloads in a managed Kubernetes environment (EKS, GKE, or AKS)
Proficiency with Terraform for writing, structuring, and maintaining infrastructure as code at scale, including remote state management and module design
Strong working knowledge of AWS services including but not limited to EC2, EKS, RDS, S3, IAM, VPC, Lambda, Route 53, and CloudWatch
Hands-on experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or CircleCI
Experience with containerization using Docker, including writing Dockerfiles, optimizing image builds, and managing container registries
Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language (Python, Bash, or Go) for automation and tooling
Solid understanding of networking concepts including DNS, load balancing, TLS/SSL, VPNs, and firewall rules in a cloud context
Experience implementing cloud security controls including IAM role policies, security groups, and secrets management solutions
Ability to work independently in a fully remote environment with strong written communication and async collaboration skills
Nice to Have
AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional or AWS Certified Solutions Architect certification
Experience with service mesh technologies such as Istio or Linkerd
Familiarity with GitOps workflows using tools like ArgoCD or Flux
Experience with HashiCorp Vault for secrets management and dynamic credentials
Exposure to cost optimization strategies on AWS, including Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, and resource rightsizing
Experience with infrastructure compliance and policy-as-code tools such as Open Policy Agent (OPA) or Checkov
Contributions to open-source DevOps tooling or published Terraform modules
Benefits
Competitive salary of $140,000–$170,000 per year, commensurate with experience
Fully remote work arrangement with flexible scheduling across US time zones
Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance with premiums covered for employee and dependents
401(k) retirement plan with company matching up to 4% of annual salary
Annual home office stipend of $1,000 for equipment and workspace setup
Professional development budget of $2,500 per year for certifications, courses, and conferences
Generous PTO policy with 20 days of paid vacation, 10 paid holidays, and unlimited sick leave
Paid parental leave of 16 weeks for primary caregivers and 8 weeks for secondary caregivers
Access to mental health and wellness resources through an Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Stock option plan with standard vesting schedule, allowing employees to share in company growth
