Description
Build What Matters at RevStar
Position: DevOps Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE)
- Reports To: DevOps Lead/Migrations Lead
- Location: Remote
- Employment Type: Full-Time W2
Job Summary
At RevStar, we are a dynamic team of engineers, UX designers, and product managers committed to putting business first in the pursuit of excellence. As an Advanced Technology Partner, we deliver cloud-native web and mobile applications, building modern data and AI solutions that drive tangible value. We foster a remote-first culture where teams freely innovate and grow together, building meaningful outcomes that matter.
Our Core Values
- Self-Mastery: We hold a high bar for how we think, communicate, and improve.
- Ownership: We own outcomes, not just effort.
- Shared Destiny: We rise or fall together.
We are looking for a strategic AI & Cloud DevOps Engineer who bridges technical execution with client-facing consulting. In this role, you will architect cloud-native infrastructure, automate enterprise deployments, and collaborate directly with client stakeholders to align cloud and AI strategies with business outcomes. You will thrive in a fast-paced environment where autonomy, technical depth, and clear communication drive everyday success.
Key Pillars of Responsibility
- Cloud & AI Architecture & Infrastructure: Architect, deploy, and manage scalable cloud and AI environments utilizing ECS, EKS, Lambda, S3, API Gateway, or AI platform services while ensuring security, reliability, and cost-efficiency.
- Automation & CI/CD Pipelines: Build automated CI/CD pipelines and version-controlled Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform, GitHub, Azure DevOps, and cloud/AI tooling for seamless releases.
- Observability & Optimization: Implement proactive monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions across multi-cloud and AI infrastructure environments to optimize performance and prevent operational incidents.
- Client Engagement & Delivery: Lead discovery workshops, demo solutions, gather technical requirements, and build immediate credibility with enterprise client stakeholders.
Requirements
- 7+ Years in Cloud & DevOps Engineering: Extensive background designing, deploying, and maintaining enterprise cloud infrastructure.
- 5+ Years of Cloud or AI Platform Mastery: Deep hands-on experience across Anthropic, OpenAI, or AWS environments, serverless architectures, and containerized workloads.
- 3+ Years in Consulting or Client-Facing Roles: Proven track record operating as an independent actor—autonomously leading workload assessments, architecting cloud adoption roadmaps, and driving client engagements with minimal oversight.
Technical Execution & Automation
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Containers: Advanced expertise in Terraform, container orchestration (such as AWS ECS/EKS or equivalent cloud container services), and automated provisioning.
- CI/CD & DevSecOps: Mastery in building secure, automated pipelines (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or cloud-native tooling) with integrated SAST/DAST, policy-as-code, and automated testing.
- Security & Financial Operations (FinOps): Deep experience in cloud/AI security baselines (IAM least-privilege, guardrails, compliance automation) and cost-optimization frameworks.
Certifications & Communication
- Active Certifications: Professional-level Cloud, DevOps, or AI Certifications (e.g., AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional, Solutions Architect – Professional, Specialty certs in Security / AI Practitioner, or equivalent Anthropic / OpenAI / Cloud platform credentials) strongly preferred.
- Consultative Communication: Superior verbal, written, and presentation skills—confident in facilitating technical workshops, demoing complex architectures to stakeholders, and thriving in a 100% remote environment.
Benefits
- Paid Time Off – Take the time you need to recharge and stay productive.
- Remote-First Working Environment – Collaborate from anywhere while staying connected with our global team.
- Comprehensive Health Coverage – Medical, Dental, Vision
- 401(k) Retirement Plan – Plan for your future with access to a company-sponsored 401(k) program.
- Annual Learning & Development Stipend – Invest in your skills with conferences, certifications, or courses.
- Peer Mentorship & Coaching – Learn from experienced engineers, product managers, and architects to accelerate your growth.
- Professional Growth Opportunities – Exposure to cutting-edge AWS GenAI, data, and cloud technologies across diverse industries.
