Senior DevOps Core Engineer

Location: Ramat Gan (IL)

Description

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Core Engineer to design, own, and evolve Shield’s AWS infrastructure platform at scale.

This role is responsible for shaping the technical foundations that power our production environments, setting infrastructure standards, and driving architectural consistency across the organization.

You will operate at the intersection of cloud architecture, infrastructure engineering, and operational excellence, taking end-to-end ownership of platform reliability, scalability, and long-term sustainability while working closely with engineering, architecture, CX, and FinOps.

This position is based in Israel, operating in a hybrid model (3 days in the office / 2 days remote).

Let’s get down to business:

What you’ll do:

• Own the design, implementation, and operation of AWS infrastructure environments, including account structure, core services, and shared platform components.
• Define and maintain infrastructure architecture standards using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CloudFormation), ensuring consistency, reusability, and auditability.
• Architect and operate AWS networking at scale, including VPC design, subnetting strategies, routing models, and connectivity patterns.
• Drive GitOps-based infrastructure delivery, enforcing PR-driven change management, controlled environment promotion, and drift remediation.
• Establish and evolve infrastructure observability: metrics, logs, dashboards, alerting strategies, and operational signals for platform-owned services.
• Lead complex infrastructure incidents and root-cause investigations, translating findings into durable architectural and operational improvements.
• Act as a technical focal point for infrastructure decisions, partnering with Engineering, Architecture, CX, and FinOps to align platform capabilities with business and product needs.
• Own infrastructure documentation, including reference architectures, runbooks, lifecycle guidance, and operational standards.

Requirements

Experience and skills:

• 7+ years of experience in Cloud Infrastructure, Platform Engineering, or DevOps Core roles, operating production systems at scale.
• Deep, hands-on expertise with AWS, including multi-account environments, IAM foundations, and advanced networking concepts.
• Strong experience designing and maintaining Infrastructure as Code platforms (Terraform, CloudFormation, or equivalent) as the system of record.
• Proven ability to design and operate GitOps-based infrastructure workflows with strong governance and operational discipline.
• Solid experience with observability and monitoring platforms (CloudWatch, Grafana, Prometheus, or similar).
• Demonstrated strength in systems thinking, troubleshooting, and operational decision-making under production pressure.
• Excellent communication skills in English, with the ability to influence technical direction across multiple teams in a global environment.
