Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Hypori, Inc. is a high-growth cybersecurity SaaS company transforming how organizations think about secure mobility. The Senior Cloud Ops Engineer will architect, build, and evolve the secure, scalable cloud infrastructure for the Hypori SaaS platform, driving strategy and execution across various engineering tasks while mentoring team members.
Responsibilities
- Own the architecture and operation of secure, scalable, highly available AWS and AWS GovCloud infrastructure supporting the Hypori SaaS platform end to end
- Set the technical direction for Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, OpenTofu, CloudFormation), establishing org-wide standards, reusable modules, and governance patterns other engineers build on
- Drive engineering tasks for platform reliability, scalability, and capacity; helping define SLA/SLO targets
- Lead the end-to-end observability strategy — monitoring, logging, alerting, telemetry — across Datadog, Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana, and/or ELK
- Serve as incident commander for high-severity production events; drive root cause analysis and lead systemic, multi-phase remediation — not just fixes, but prevention
- Design and implement CI/CD platforms and deployment automation (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, AWS Code Pipeline), championing progressive delivery patterns as the org standard
- Lead the operation and evolution of containerized workloads on Kubernetes and Docker, making the orchestration and scaling trade-off calls for the platform
- Proactively identify architectural scalability and performance bottlenecks before they become incidents, and design the systems that eliminate them
- Partner directly with Security and Compliance leadership to implement secure-by-design infrastructure supporting FedRAMP, DoD IL5, and SOC 2 Type 2 requirements
- Participate in owning disaster recovery and business continuity — design, test, and continuously validate RTO/RPO targets
- Identify and develop solutions for cloud cost optimization as a discipline, not a cleanup task — identifying inefficiencies at the design level and implementing measurable, sustained cost controls
- Mentor engineers, lead design reviews, and shape the technical standards the broader team is measured against
- Lead cross-team resolution of systemic operational issues, delivering road mapped improvements with measurable, reported impact
- Represent Hypori in technical conversations with external cloud and infrastructure vendors, holding them to performance, reliability, and security commitments
- Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation
Skills
- Bachelor's in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure, SRE, or systems engineering
- 8+ years in Cloud Ops, SRE, DevOps, or Infrastructure Engineering, with a demonstrated track record of progression into senior/architectural ownership
- Deep AWS expertise (EC2, VPC, IAM, S3, EBS, EFS, Route 53, CloudWatch)
- Proven experience designing multi-account AWS environments and landing zone frameworks (e.g., AWS LZA), including isolation, governance, and guardrail design
- Expert-level Infrastructure as Code (Terraform and/or CloudFormation), with a track record of building reusable modules and org-wide standards, not just consuming them
- Production-grade Kubernetes and Docker experience, with the judgment to make orchestration and architectural trade-off decisions, not just operate what exists
- CI/CD architecture experience (GitHub Actions, Jenkins), with fluency in modern deployment strategies (blue/green, canary, rolling) as design patterns, not checkboxes
- Track record operating high-availability SaaS platforms under strict security, reliability, and uptime SLAs
- Advanced observability and incident management experience (Datadog, Splunk, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK), including designing monitoring/alerting strategy for 24/7 NOC environments
- Demonstrated incident command experience — leading high-severity incidents from detection through resolution and systemic RCA
- Experience operating in regulated environments (FedRAMP, DoD IL4/IL5, SOC 2 Type 2), with working knowledge of NIST 800-53
- Strong grounding in cloud security, compliance, and resilient architecture design
- Demonstrated ability to mentor senior and mid-level engineers and set technical direction beyond your own individual work
- Fluency in Git-based workflows and modern development/deployment practices
- U.S. citizenship required
- Active Secret clearance required; Common Access Card (CAC) eligible under DoD 8140
- AWS GovCloud experience strongly preferred
- Preferred certifications: AWS Solutions Architect Associate (or higher), AWS CloudFormation, AWS Lambda, AWS CodePipeline
- Top Secret preferred
Benefits
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Parental leave
- Life and disability packages
- 401(k) plan with employer-matching contributions that vest starting from your first day of employment
- Performance bonus, which is primarily contingent upon company-wide performance
