AWS DevOps Engineer

DevOps Engineer (AWS Certified)

Location: Madrid, Spain — Hybrid (2–3 days on-site per week)
Industry: Financial Services / Cloud Migration Project

We are seeking a highly skilled DevOps Engineer with proven AWS expertise to join our team in Madrid. The ideal candidate will play a key role in supporting a major financial-sector client as they modernize and migrate their technology landscape to AWS. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to cloud-native transformation initiatives within a regulated and security-focused environment.

Key Responsibilities

Note: These responsibilities are intentionally broad and suitable for a financial-sector AWS migration project. You can refine them later as the project details become available.

• Support the design, implementation, and maintenance of AWS cloud infrastructure, ensuring scalability, reliability, and security.

• Develop and manage CI/CD pipelines to automate application build, test, and deployment processes.

• Work with containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes/EKS or similar) to streamline application delivery.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams — development, architecture, security, and operations — to ensure smooth delivery of cloud migration milestones.

• Contribute to infrastructure-as-code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, or similar.

• Monitor and optimize cloud resources, implementing best practices for cost management, observability, and operational excellence.

• Ensure compliance with financial-industry security and governance standards throughout the migration process.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• AWS Certification (Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer, SysOps Administrator, or equivalent).

• Strong experience with CI/CD pipelines and associated tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, Bitbucket Pipelines).

• Hands-on knowledge of containerization technologies (Docker, Kubernetes/EKS).

• Solid understanding of cloud-native architectures, automation, and infrastructure-as-code.

• Professional fluency in both English and Spanish (written and spoken).

• Excellent problem-solving capabilities and ability to work collaboratively in hybrid on-site teams.

Nice to Have (Optional)

• Experience in financial services, regulated environments, or large enterprise migrations.

• Knowledge of security best practices (IAM, networking, encryption, auditing).

• Familiarity with monitoring and observability tools (CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, etc.).
