Job Specifications

Title: Senior DevOps Engineer (Spacelift Migration)

Job Type: Contract

Contract Length: 6 Months

Pay Range: $70-$100/hr

Start Date: 3/16/26

Location: Remote

About The Opportunity

Our client, a leader in EdTech, is looking for a skilled Senior DevOps Engineer to join their team for a 6-month engagement. This project involves leading a strategic, high-impact migration from AWS Proton to Spacelift to manage Infrastructure as Code (IaC) at scale. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables

This role is focused on the successful completion of specific tasks and deliverables. Your responsibilities will include:

Lead the Spacelift Migration: Act as the technical lead for transitioning our orchestration from AWS Proton to Spacelift, designing the organizational structure (Stacks, Contexts, and Blueprints) from the ground up.
Architect Policy-as-Code: Implement robust governance and security guardrails using Rego (OPA) within the Spacelift environment.
Modernize IaC: Standardize our Terraform workflows while maintaining and bridging legacy configurations in Puppet.
Pipeline Excellence: Enhance our CI/CD maturity by integrating Spacelift with our existing Jenkins, Git, and Nexus ecosystem.
System Reliability: Monitor and manage a high-traffic, 24/7 production web application environment using Splunk and various open-source monitoring tools.

Required Skills & Experience:

We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successful contract engagements. The ideal candidate will have:

5+ years of experience in a similar role.
Deep expertise in Spacelift (in a production environment), AWS services (EC2, RDS, CloudFront, CloudWatch, DynamoDB), Terraform (or CloudFormation), Puppet (or Ansible/Chef/Salt), and Python or Go for automation. This isn't a learning role—you need to be a subject matter expert.
Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and manage your own time effectively to meet project goals.
Experience with Amazon ECS or other container orchestration platforms, Java/Tomcat/Apache stacks, MySQL databases, Git, Jenkins, and Nexus.
Strong communication skills to provide clear and concise status updates to the project team, and the ability to document work and mentor internal teams on Spacelift best practices.
