Overview
Hypori is seeking a Senior Cloud Ops Engineer to architect, build, and evolve the secure, scalable cloud infrastructure that powers our SaaS platform. This is a senior technical leadership role for an engineer who combines deep hands-on cloud operations expertise with the architectural judgment to define how the platform scales, secures, and recovers across both AWS and AWS GovCloud environments.
You'll independently own ambiguous, high-impact infrastructure problems, guide technical direction for the team, and acting as a senior escalation point when production systems are on the line. This is a builder-designer hybrid role someone equally comfortable writing Terraform and designing infrastructure modernization solutions.
You will drive the strategy and execution of Infrastructure as Code, observability, CI/CD, and operational frameworks, while mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar across the org. This role sits at the intersection of DevOps, SRE, and cloud architecture, with a strong emphasis on engineering rigor, operational maturity, and continuous improvement in a mission-critical, regulated environment.
Responsibilities
- Own the architecture and operation of secure, scalable, highly available AWS and AWS GovCloud infrastructure supporting the Hypori SaaS platform end to end.
- Set the technical direction for Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, OpenTofu, CloudFormation), establishing org-wide standards, reusable modules, and governance patterns other engineers build on.
- Drive engineering tasks for platform reliability, scalability, and capacity; helping define SLA/SLO targets.
- Lead the end-to-end observability strategy monitoring, logging, alerting, telemetry across Datadog, Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana, and/or ELK.
- Serve as incident commander for high-severity production events; drive root cause analysis and lead systemic, multi-phase remediation not just fixes, but prevention.
- Design and implement CI/CD platforms and deployment automation (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, AWS Code Pipeline), championing progressive delivery patterns as the org standard.
- Lead the operation and evolution of containerized workloads on Kubernetes and Docker, making the orchestration and scaling trade-off calls for the platform.
- Proactively identify architectural scalability and performance bottlenecks before they become incidents, and design the systems that eliminate them.
- Partner directly with Security and Compliance leadership to implement secure-by-design infrastructure supporting FedRAMP, DoD IL5, and SOC 2 Type 2 requirements.
- Participate in owning disaster recovery and business continuity design, test, and continuously validate RTO/RPO targets.
- Identify and develop solutions for cloud cost optimization as a discipline, not a cleanup task identifying inefficiencies at the design level and implementing measurable, sustained cost controls.
- Mentor engineers, lead design reviews, and shape the technical standards the broader team is measured against.
- Lead cross-team resolution of systemic operational issues, delivering road mapped improvements with measurable, reported impact.
- Represent Hypori in technical conversations with external cloud and infrastructure vendors, holding them to performance, reliability, and security commitments.
- Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation
Qualifications
- Bachelor's in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure, SRE, or systems engineering.
- 8+ years in Cloud Ops, SRE, DevOps, or Infrastructure Engineering, with a demonstrated track record of progression into senior/architectural ownership.
- Deep AWS expertise (EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, EBS, EFS, Route 53, CloudWatch); AWS GovCloud experience strongly preferred.
- Proven experience designing multi-account AWS environments and landing zone frameworks (e.g., AWS LZA), including isolation, governance, and guardrail design.
- Expert-level Infrastructure as Code (Terraform and/or CloudFormation), with a track record of building reusable modules and org-wide standards, not just consuming them.
- Production-grade Kubernetes and Docker experience, with the judgment to make orchestration and architectural trade-off decisions, not just operate what exists.
- CI/CD architecture experience (GitHub Actions, Jenkins), with fluency in modern deployment strategies (blue/green, canary, rolling) as design patterns, not checkboxes.
- Track record operating high-availability SaaS platforms under strict security, reliability, and uptime SLAs.
- Advanced observability and incident management experience (Datadog, Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK), including designing monitoring/alerting strategy for 24/7 NOC environments.
- Demonstrated incident command experience leading high-severity incidents from detection through resolution and systemic RCA.
- Experience operating in regulated environments (FedRAMP, DoD IL4/IL5, SOC 2 Type 2), with working knowledge of NIST 800-53.
- Strong grounding in cloud security, compliance, and resilient architecture design.
- Demonstrated ability to mentor senior and mid-level engineers and set technical direction beyond your own individual work.
- Fluency in Git-based workflows and modern development/deployment practices.
- Preferred certifications: AWS Solutions Architect Associate (or higher), AWS CloudFormation, AWS Lambda, AWS CodePipeline.
- U.S. citizenship required.
- Active Secret clearance required; Top Secret preferred.
- Common Access Card (CAC) eligible under DoD 8140.
Personal Qualifications
- A strategic, hands-on operator who can independently own ambiguous, high-stakes infrastructure problems and turn them into scalable, durable solutions.
- Sharp architectural judgment able to weigh trade-offs, make sound calls under uncertainty, and defend those decisions to both engineers and leadership.
- Calm, decisive, and clear-headed under pressure; a natural incident commander others look to during high-severity events.
- A strong communicator who moves easily between engineering, security, and executive conversations, and who elevates the people around them.
- Deep sense of ownership and accountability treats reliability, automation, and operational excellence as personal standards, not job requirements.
- Genuinely energized by hard infrastructure problems and staying ahead of the cloud landscape.
- Willing to serve as escalation resource in a 24/7 on-call rotation.
