EPAM is looking for an experienced DevOps / Platform Engineer to join a high-impact engagement. In this role, you will work directly with key client stakeholders on strategic projects with significant visibility and business impact.

Youll be the go-to expert for cloud infrastructure, automation, and HPC workloads - someone who can both architect solutions and roll up their sleeves to build and operate them. This is an excellent opportunity for a well-rounded engineer who thrives in a client-facing role, enjoys solving complex infrastructure challenges, and is comfortable operating independently in a fast-paced environment.

Req# 1106121264

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain secure, scalable AWS infrastructure, with a strong focus on networking, security, and cloud operations best practices

• Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform (primary), with support for CloudFormation and AWS CDK as needed

• Develop automation scripts and tools using Python, PowerShell, and Bash to streamline workflows and operational tasks

• Architect and support HPC and parallelized compute workloads, leveraging Auto Scaling Groups, AWS Batch, and both CPU- and GPU-based compute resources

• Manage and optimize S3 storage, including bucket policies, access limits, and cross-account access configurations

• Build and maintain Docker images from scratch based on project requirements; manage container registries via ECR

• Work with AWS Aurora (PostgreSQL), including writing and troubleshooting SQL queries

• Set up and maintain monitoring and logging for job runs, service utilization, EC2 usage, performance, and cost tracking

• Configure and manage CI/CD pipelines using AWS CodeBuild; apply Azure DevOps knowledge where applicable

• Partner closely with internal client teams (Cloud Ops, Cybersecurity, Network Security) to proactively resolve issues and stay ahead of upcoming changes that could impact the environment

• Participate in change review meetings to anticipate and mitigate potential impacts

• Translate business and user requirements into clear technical documentation and implementable solutions

• Proactively identify opportunities for improvement and bring forward ideas and recommendations for future solutions - then help design and build them

• Build rapport and working relationships across the client organization to know who to contact for support when needed

Requirements

• Strong hands-on experience with AWS services, including a solid understanding of security, networking, and cloud operations fundamentals

• Proficiency in Python for scripting and automation; working knowledge of PowerShell and Bash

• Solid experience with Terraform; familiarity with CloudFormation and/or AWS CDK is a plus

• Experience with HPC or large-scale parallel compute environments (Auto Scaling Groups, AWS Batch)

• Practical knowledge of S3 architecture, including cross-account access and usage limits

• Experience with Docker and ECR, including building custom images from requirements

• Working knowledge of AWS Aurora (PostgreSQL) and SQL query writing

• Experience setting up monitoring, logging, and cost-tracking solutions for cloud infrastructure

• Familiarity with AWS CodeBuild; exposure to Azure DevOps is a plus

• Excellent communication skills with strong critical thinking and problem-solving abilities

• Proactive, accountable, and comfortable working independently with minimal supervision

• Skilled at translating ambiguous user requirements into clear documentation and technical solutions

• A service-oriented mindset - understanding end-user constraints and collaborating effectively with internal client teams to resolve issues

• Resourceful and self-sufficient in navigating a large organization and building relationships with key stakeholders

• Forward-thinking - able to propose and help design future solutions, not just maintain existing ones
