Overview

Robert Half is looking for a Senior DevOps / Cloud Engineer who can take ownership of a client's CI/CD pipelines and cloud environment. This person will be hands-on in AWS (with some Azure exposure) and help drive better DevOps practices across the team. There’s also a strong focus on mentoring—helping others level up in how they build, deploy, and operate in the cloud.

What you’ll be doing

  • Building and improving CI/CD pipelines to support faster, more reliable releases

  • Managing and scaling AWS environments (Azure experience is a plus)

  • Writing and maintaining infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.)

  • Automating wherever possible—deployments, monitoring, recovery, etc.

  • Working closely with dev, ops, and security teams to keep systems stable, secure, and performant

  • Helping teams adopt better DevOps practices and modern tooling

  • Troubleshooting issues in production and tightening up monitoring/alerting

  • Mentoring team members and sharing best practices across the organization

    Requirements

What we’re looking for

  • U.S. Citizenship required

  • 5+ years in a DevOps, Cloud, or similar engineering role

  • Strong AWS experience (this is the primary environment)

  • Some exposure to Azure is helpful but not required

  • Experience building CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab, Azure DevOps, etc.)

  • Background with infrastructure as code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.)

  • Experience with containers (Docker, Kubernetes, EKS/AKS)

  • Comfortable scripting (Python, Bash, PowerShell, etc.)

  • Solid understanding of cloud architecture, networking, and security basics

Nice to have

  • Experience in a consulting or client-facing environment

  • Experience mentoring or leading DevOps initiatives

  • Multi-cloud experience (AWS + Azure)

  • Cloud certifications

Other details

  • Preference for candidates who are local or open to being onsite as needed

  • Must be able to pass enhanced background checks depending on the project

  • This role does involve working directly with client teams, so communication skills matter
