Description:

Hybrid 50% on site in Durham, NC

 

We are seeking a DevOps Engineer to support portals, web applications, and financial platforms. The role will design, build, and support on-prem and AWS cloud solutions, including infrastructure upgrades, reverse proxy services, observability, and CI/CD. Key technologies include Java/Spring Boot, Apache, Envoy, Docker, Terraform, EKS, and AWS security. The work will enable reliable customer-facing experiences.


What the Hiring Team Is Really Looking For

  • A DevOps‑leaning systems engineer, not a pure developer
  • Strong AWS + Terraform experience
  • Comfort owning cloud infrastructure end‑to‑end
  • Hands‑on with Apache, Docker, and CI/CD
  • Solid experience with monitoring and operational support
  • Someone who can support application updates when needed, without being application‑focused day‑to‑day

Team Culture

You’ll be joining a collaborative team that values technical ownership, thoughtful problem‑solving, and continuous improvement. Team members are encouraged to contribute ideas, balance innovation with stability, and work closely across disciplines to deliver reliable systems.

 

Due to client requirements, applicants must be willing and able to work on a w2 basis. For our w2 consultants, we offer a great benefits package that includes Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits, 401k with company matching, and life insurance.

 

Rate: $60.00 to $65.00/hr. w2

 


Responsibilities:

We are seeking a DevOps Engineer to support and modernize a cloud‑focused application and infrastructure environment. This role blends infrastructure engineering, cloud operations, and light application support, with a strong emphasis on AWS, Terraform, Apache services, and observability.

The team is actively moving deeper into cloud‑native DevOps practices, and this position exists to support increasing cloud workloads, infrastructure automation, and production stability. While this is not a pure application‑development role, candidates should be comfortable supporting Java/Spring Boot applications when infrastructure or platform updates are required.

This role is well suited for someone with a systems or infrastructure engineering background who has evolved into DevOps through hands‑on cloud work.

Responsibilities / Required Skills

  • Design, build, and maintain AWS‑based infrastructure using Terraform (Infrastructure as Code)
  • Support and enhance cloud and on‑prem environments, including Linux servers and Tomcat deployments
  • Manage and maintain Apache services, including proof‑of‑concept and service integrations
  • Containerize and deploy applications using Docker
  • Support CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and deployment automation tools such as uDeploy
  • Work with observability and monitoring tools for logs, metrics, and alerting
  • Support reverse proxy and traffic routing solutions, including Envoy
  • Collaborate with development, QA, and infrastructure teams on production support, upgrades, and process improvement
  • Apply and enforce engineering standards aligned with established technology roadmaps
  • Assist with application updates when required (primarily Spring Boot–based services)
  • Participate in cloud architecture discussions and solution design within the business unit



Experience Requirements:

Must have:


  • Strong experience with AWS cloud services
  • Hands‑on experience with Terraform for infrastructure provisioning
  • Experience managing Apache web services
  • Working knowledge of Docker containerization
  • Experience with Linux environments
  • Familiarity with CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, uDeploy, Artifactory, Sonar, ServiceNow)
  • Experience supporting Java / Spring Boot applications from an infrastructure or platform perspective
  • Exposure to observability practices (log monitoring, metrics, alerting)
  • Experience with Envoy or similar proxy tools is a plus
  • Experience with Angular / TypeScript is a plus but not required
  • Ability to work in a fast‑paced environment and support production systems


Nice to have:

  • Angular/TypeScript experience (preferred).
  • AI-driven anomaly detection, alert routing, and incident triage experience (preferred).

Education Requirements:
  • B.S. in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or equivalent experience.
  • AWS certification (preferred).
