Get to Know Darwoft

At Darwoft , we build custom software solutions and partner with international companies to create high-impact digital products.

We are a Latin American technology company with a people-first culture, strong professional standards, and a long-term partnership mindset. We work with distributed teams, complex technical challenges, and clients whose technology has a direct impact on their businesses and users.

About the Project

We are partnering with an innovative cybersecurity company developing a modern Identity Security and Identity Observability platform .

The product enables enterprise security teams to monitor identity activity, identify security gaps, detect suspicious behavior, and reduce identity-related risks across cloud, SaaS, network, and on-premise environments .

Its architecture relies heavily on distributed systems, real-time data processing, cloud-native infrastructure, advanced analytics, and an increasingly AI-driven security roadmap .

As the platform continues to scale, infrastructure reliability, automation, observability, security, and developer productivity are critical engineering priorities.

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to design, automate, operate, and continuously improve the cloud infrastructure and deployment platform supporting a high-scale cybersecurity product.

You'll work primarily with AWS, Kubernetes/EKS, Terraform, Docker, CI/CD, and observability technologies , partnering closely with Software Engineering, QA, Security, and IT teams.

This role goes beyond maintaining infrastructure. You'll actively contribute to platform engineering , helping engineers ship software faster and more reliably while improving automation, security, operational visibility, scalability, and cloud cost efficiency.

You'll have a high degree of ownership over production infrastructure and participate directly in architectural decisions, incident resolution, platform improvements, and DevOps best practices.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design, build, and operate highly available and scalable cloud infrastructure primarily on AWS .
• Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform .
• Deploy, manage, scale, and troubleshoot workloads running on Kubernetes , particularly Amazon EKS .
• Develop automation for infrastructure provisioning, environment configuration, and application deployment.
• Build and maintain reliable CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI .
• Improve deployment processes, release reliability, and developer experience across engineering teams.
• Manage containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes .
• Design and improve observability across infrastructure and applications.
• Implement monitoring, dashboards, alerts, and centralized logging using technologies such as:
• Prometheus
• Grafana
• AWS CloudWatch
• OpenSearch / Elasticsearch
• ELK
• Participate in production incident response, troubleshooting, mitigation, and root cause analysis .
• Identify recurring operational issues and automate their resolution.
• Implement AWS and Kubernetes security best practices.
• Collaborate with Security teams to strengthen infrastructure security and support compliance initiatives.
• Improve platform resilience, high availability, scalability, and disaster recovery capabilities.
• Optimize AWS resource utilization and contribute to cloud cost optimization and FinOps initiatives .
• Automate operating system and infrastructure configuration using Ansible or similar tools .
• Develop operational tooling and automation using Python and Bash .
• Collaborate with Engineering teams on platform architecture and deployment strategies.
• Continuously evaluate new DevOps, cloud, Kubernetes, observability, and platform engineering technologies.

What You Bring

- 5–8+ years of experience working in DevOps, Platform Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering, Cloud Engineering, or similar roles.

• Strong hands-on production experience with AWS .
