Job description
At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence.
We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go.
Join EY and help to build a better working world.
The opportunity
We're looking for a passionate, cloud-focused Senior DevOps / DevSecOps Engineer to build, automate, and secure cloud infrastructure. You'll own infrastructure-as-code, strengthen security posture across the pipeline, and help shape solid AWS foundations aligned with the AWS Well-Architected Framework and cloud best practices. A key part of this role is the ability to analyze existing infrastructure and propose meaningful improvements — in security, reliability, cost, and automation. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who genuinely loves the cloud and wants to make automation and security first-class citizens of how we work.
Your key responsibilities
- Build and maintain cloud infrastructure on AWS using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
- Help establish and strengthen AWS foundations — multi-account setup, AWS Organizations, guardrails, and landing-zone best practices
- Apply the AWS Well-Architected Framework and AWS best practices across our environments
- Analyze existing infrastructure and propose improvements across security, scalability, resilience, performance, and cost
- Embed security into every stage of the delivery lifecycle (DevSecOps): automated security checks, least-privilege IAM, secrets management, and continuous compliance
- Build and improve CI/CD pipelines for reliable, repeatable, automated delivery
- Support cloud migration efforts (lift-and-shift, re-platform, modernization)
- Manage IaC workflows and governance (Terraform state, modules, policy-as-code)
- Monitor, troubleshoot, and continuously improve cloud environments
- Collaborate with development, security, and platform teams to drive best practices
Skills and attributes for success
- 5–6+ years of professional experience in DevOps / cloud / platform engineering
- Strong, primarily AWS-focused hands-on experience, with familiarity across the most common AWS services (compute, networking, IAM, storage, monitoring, databases)
- Experience applying the AWS Well-Architected Framework and AWS best practices
- Experience building AWS foundations and working with AWS Organizations (multi-account, guardrails, governance)
- Proven Infrastructure as Code experience — Terraform preferred (this is a core requirement)
- Hands-on cloud migration experience
- Ability to analyze existing environments and recommend practical improvements
- A genuine passion for cloud technology and continuous learning
- Strong CI/CD and automation fundamentals
Ideally you`ll also
- Bring cross-cloud experience (Azure and/or GCP) — a definite plus
- Hold AWS certifications: DevOps Engineer, Solutions Architect, or any AWS Specialty
- Demonstrate experience with Spacelift (or similar IaC orchestration/management platforms)
- Apply policy-as-code, security scanning, and compliance tooling experience
- Leverage containerization and orchestration experience (Docker, Kubernetes/EKS)
What we look for
More than anything, we’re interested in people with the right attitude for the job! That’s naturally innovative people that feed on the energy of a thriving global team. You’ll need a balance of technical and analytical skills, a creative approach to work and strong communication skills. Put simply, if you’ve got big ideas on how we can do better, as well as the confidence to express them, this role is for you.
What we offer you
- We will fuel your ambition and potential with future-focused skills development that equips you with state-of-the-art methodologies and technology-enabled solutions
- At EY, you`ll learn A LOT through experience, on a variety of projects for a diverse range of BIG clients
