About The Job
Here, we partner with forward-thinking organizations in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction) industry to push the boundaries of how the built environment is designed and delivered. As the premier full-service management advisory firm exclusively focused on the built world, we combine domain expertise with leading-edge technology strategy to solve real problems at scale.
We are seeking a DevOps Engineer to architect, implement, and maintain the cloud infrastructure that powers our innovative AEC technology solutions. You'll work closely with our engineering team to build robust CI/CD pipelines, optimize cloud-native architectures, and ensure our systems scale reliably to meet the demanding requirements of construction and engineering workflows. This role bridges the gap between development and operations, enabling rapid prototyping while maintaining production-grade reliability.
This is an opportunity to shape the infrastructure foundation that enables digital transformation in one of the world's most critical industries, leveraging modern cloud patterns, automation, and observability to deliver real impact.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and maintain infrastructure-as-code using CDK and CloudFormation for AWS environments, ensuring reproducible and scalable deployments.
- Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines for containerized microservices written in Python, Typescript, and Go.
- Implement and manage Amazon ECS clusters for orchestrating production workloads and development environments.
- Build, configure, and maintain observability stack using industry best practices.
- Manage data infrastructure including RDS, S3, and streaming services for AEC data pipelines.
- Implement security best practices, including secrets management, IAM policies, and network segmentation.
- Collaborate with development teams to optimize application performance and deployment strategies.
- Document infrastructure patterns, runbooks, and operational procedures for team knowledge sharing.
- Participate in on-call rotation and incident response, driving root cause analysis and prevention.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 2-4 years of hands-on experience with AWS services (EC2, ECS, Lambda, RDS, S3, CloudFormation/CDK).
- Strong proficiency with Docker and container orchestration using Kubernetes.
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (CloudFormation/CDK preferred, Terraform acceptable).
- Solid understanding of CI/CD principles and tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI).
- Strong background in Python scripting.
- Experience with observability and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry).
- Strong Linux/Unix administration skills and networking fundamentals.
- Excellent problem-solving abilities and capacity to troubleshoot complex distributed systems.
Preferred Qualifications (A plus, not a requirement)
- Knowledge of GitOps practices and tools (ArgoCD, Flux).
- Experience with data engineering infrastructure (Apache Kafka, Airflow, dbt).
- Familiarity with compliance frameworks and security scanning tools.
- Experience supporting AI/ML workloads and GPU-accelerated computing.
- Understanding of AEC industry workflows and data formats (IFC, Revit, AutoCAD).
- AWS certifications (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer, or similar).
What You’ll Gain
- Opportunity to build cloud infrastructure that transforms how the built environment is designed and delivered.
- Exposure to cutting-edge DevOps practices and tools in a rapidly evolving technology landscape.
- Mentorship from senior engineers with deep expertise in cloud architecture and AEC technology.
- The chance to work on diverse technical challenges spanning real-time data processing, AI/ML pipelines, and enterprise integrations.
- Direct impact on products that influence billion-dollar construction projects and critical infrastructure.
Why us?
For us, DevOps isn't just about keeping the lights on—you'll be architecting the foundation for innovation in an industry ripe for transformation. We believe in infrastructure as a product, where automation, observability, and developer experience are first-class concerns. Our engineers have the autonomy to experiment with emerging technologies while maintaining the reliability our enterprise clients demand. If you're passionate about building resilient systems that enable others to create amazing things, we want to hear from you.
