Role overview
Mactores is an agent-native AWS modernization firm focused on shipping production systems rather than stalling in pilots. The company uses Aedeon, an agent platform built by its founders' sister company, to automate 60–70% of repetitive engagement work (discovery, dependency mapping, validation, test generation). Forward-deployed engineers handle architecture, judgment, and cutover responsibilities. This Senior AWS DevOps Engineer role focuses on building pipelines, rehearsing cutovers, and carrying releases into production for customer modernization projects. The position involves heavy automation through Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Ansible/Chef, and Kubernetes, with significant client-facing embedded work and fixed delivery date commitments.
Responsibilities
- Automate infrastructure creation with Terraform and AWS CloudFormation — infrastructure as code, not tickets and toil.
- Own application configuration management and drive Infrastructure as Code through deployment tooling.
- Own the build and release cycle for customer projects, end to end.
- Share responsibility for deploying releases and for operations and maintenance work.
- Improve the operations infrastructure we ship with — Jenkins clusters, Bitbucket, monitoring tools (Consul), and metrics tools like Graphite and Grafana.
- Support the engineering team operationally and help migrate legacy infrastructure to the cloud — retiring the old systems, not just standing up new ones.
- Establish and enforce operational best practices, and hold releases to them.
- Help hire culturally aligned engineers and mentor them as they grow.
- Work with the founders on team strategy and long-term technical planning.
- Work across distributed teams in the US and India, and with customer SMEs, to keep the business logic honest through migration.
Requirements
- 4+ years with Terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
- 4+ years in configuration management and systems engineering, supporting large-scale Agile environments.
- 4+ years of Linux or Windows administration.
- 4+ years working with Git, with a solid grasp of branching and merging strategies.
- 2+ years hands-on with AWS infrastructure and platform services.
- 2+ years with cloud automation tools such as Ansible or Chef.
- 2+ years with container orchestration, Kubernetes (EKS), AWS ECS, and Docker.
- A proactive, solutions-oriented approach and a drive to improve reliability and scalability.
Nice to have
- Expertise across multiple cloud providers: AWS, Azure, GCP.
- AWS certifications: Solutions Architect (Associate/Professional) or DevOps Professional.
- Hands-on experience with data pipelines, big data processing, or machine learning workflows on cloud platforms.
Additional details
- Our forward-deployed model means you embed with the customer's team rather than working behind a project-manager wall.
- Aedeon, the agent platform we deploy, absorbs the repetitive majority of engagement work discovery, mapping, validation, test generation so your hours go to architecture, cutover, and the judgment calls agents can't make.
- We commit to fixed delivery dates and absorb overage cost for delays inside our control, which means release discipline isn't a slogan here. It's the contract.
- Our 10 Core Leadership Principles that honor Decision-making, Leadership, Collaboration, and Curiosity drive how we work: 1. Be one step ahead 2. Deliver the best 3. Be bold 4. Pay attention to the detail 5. Enjoy the challenge 6. Be curious and take action 7. Take leadership 8. Own it 9. Deliver value 10. Be collaborative
- Our recruitment process is structured around three distinct stages: Pre-Employment Assessment, Managerial Interview, HR Discussion.

We don't discriminate based on race, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, marital status, military status, genetic information, or any other category protected by federal, state, and local laws.
