Location: Remote (Latam) About The Role We're seeking a process-oriented Cloud Operations Architect - AWS to elevate our cloud, GPU compute, and edge device infrastructure maturity and lead our IT operations team. You'll bring operational rigor to our AWS environment, establish best practices for CI/CD pipelines, and mentor our IT team to deliver reliable, scalable infrastructure that enables engineering velocity.

Key Responsibilities Team Leadership: Manage and mentor IT operations team member(s), providing technical guidance, establishing clear processes, and developing their cloud engineering capabilities through hands-on coaching

Cloud Architecture: Own and grow our AWS environment, implementing proper architecture patterns, cost optimization, security hardening, and disaster recovery procedures across web, AI/ML, and edge computing workloads

CI/CD Operations: Design and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure and application services, including support for containerized, hardware-dependent, and ML-related deployments

Process & Standards: Build operational maturity through documentation, runbooks, change management processes, incident response procedures, and knowledge transfer protocols across cloud and edge systems

Engineering Support: Partner with engineering teams to provide infrastructure that enables fast, safe deployments while maintaining system reliability and security

Incident Management: Lead incident response, conduct blameless post-mortems, and implement preventive measures to reduce recurring issues Required Experience & Skills Cloud Expertise: 5+ years working with AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, ECS, Fargate, IAM, IaC, networking, security groups) with hands-on architecture and troubleshooting experience

DevOps/CI-CD:



Strong background with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI) including pipeline design, testing strategies, and deployment automation

People Management: Experience managing and developing technical team members, with patience and skill in coaching less experienced engineers through complex technical concepts

Process Orientation: Track record of implementing operational processes that stick - documentation standards, change management, on-call rotations, incident response

Security & Compliance: Understanding of cloud security best practices, IAM policies, SOC 2 considerations, and infrastructure-as-code for audit trails

Communication: Ability to translate technical complexity into clear explanations for both engineering teams and non-technical stakeholders Nice to Have Optimizing costs for ML/GPU workloads

Terraform or CloudFormation infrastructure-as-code experience

Kubernetes/container orchestration knowledge

Experience with monitoring/observability tools (DataDog, CloudWatch, Grafana, PagerDuty)

Background in SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) practices

AWS certifications (Solutions Architect, SysOps Administrator)

Experience with SOC 2 compliance and security audits

Scripting skills in Python, Bash, or (bonus points) Ruby for automation What Success Looks Like IT operations mistakes decrease significantly through better processes and mentorship

AWS infrastructure follows architecture best practices with documented patterns

CI/CD pipelines are reliable, fast, and trusted by engineering teams

Team member(s) develop stronger cloud engineering skills and confidence

Incident response times improve with clear runbooks and escalation procedures

Infrastructure costs are optimized without sacrificing reliability or performance
