AWS DevOps Engineer (Associate)

Mactores is the agent-native AWS modernization firm. Most modernization work doesn't ship, it stalls in pilots, slips a year, or lands at three times the budget. We exist to ship it: production systems running, legacy retired, outcomes measured. Our delivery is built on Aedeon, the agent platform built by Mactores' founders' sister company, which absorbs the repetitive 60–70% of engagement work, discovery, dependency mapping, validation, test generation, that traditional consulting bills human hours against. Forward-deployed engineers own the rest: architecture, judgment, and cutover, on dates we commit to in the contract.

This role sits in our Application & Database Modernization pillar: moving legacy applications, databases, and infrastructure from on-premises to cloud-native AWS on committed dates. Customers come to us with dedicated hardware that costs more every year, deployments that depend on one person's memory, and enterprise workloads- Linux, Windows, big data that nobody wants to touch.

You'll join the DevOps team that lands these migrations. Aedeon handles the discovery and dependency-mapping grind; you build the automation, monitoring, and CI infrastructure that makes each cutover repeatable and safe. This is a client-facing engineering role: you'll set customer expectations, meet them, and see your infrastructure work carry production traffic.

What you will do?

• Deliver application migration projects from on-premises to AWS.
• Deliver database migration projects RDBMS, NoSQL, DW, Hadoop from on-premises to AWS.
• Automate operational and server provisioning workflows using AWS CFT on AWS.
• Share responsibility for deploying releases and running operations maintenance.
• Improve operations infrastructure: Jenkins clusters, Bitbucket, monitoring tools (Consul), and metrics tools such as Graphite and Grafana.
• Provide operational support for the rest of the engineering team.
• Help migrate our remaining dedicated hardware infrastructure to the cloud retire the legacy, don't babysit it.
• Establish and maintain operational best practices, and implement monitoring for automated system health checks.
• Build our CI pipeline, and train and guide the team in DevOps practices.

What do you have?

• 2+ years of experience using Terraform for IaaC.
• 2+ years of configuration management and engineering for large-scale customers, ideally supporting an Agile development process.
• 2+ years of Linux administration experience.
• Deep understanding of version control systems (git), including branching and merging strategies.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS/EC2/ECS/RDS/CloudFormation, CloudWatch, etc.) and cloud automation tools (Ansible, Chef).
• Experience with software build tools (Maven, Gradle) and continuous integration tools (Jenkins).
• Production support experience with Java-based applications — this one's a must.
• Experience with Linux environments and scripting languages: bash, Python, Groovy.
• Experience supporting Node.js in production is a plus.
• Knowledge of service discovery tools such as Consul is a plus.
• Comfort working late evening hours, which is when most patching occurs.
• A proactive eye for what can be made more reliable — and the follow-through to make it so.
