Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience in DevOps, infrastructure, or platform engineering roles preferred
- Deep hands-on experience with core AWS services: EC2, ECS/Fargate, Lambda, RDS/Aurora (MySQL & PostgreSQL), DynamoDB, ElastiCache, OpenSearch, CloudFront, VPC, IAM, Secrets Manager
- Expert-level Terraform (HCL) experience, including environment orchestration and workflow automation/state management best practices
- Hands-on Aurora MySQL cluster management (clustering, failover, storage scaling, backups) with working knowledge of Aurora PostgreSQL and standalone RDS
- Strong networking background: VPCs, routing, security groups, NACLs, Transit Gateway, VPN, and Route 53
- Security expertise across IAM policies, SCPs, VPC isolation, GuardDuty, Security Hub, and encryption standards
- Experience with Docker image hardening, ECS/Fargate deployment patterns, and scripting proficiency in Python, Bash, or Ruby
- Working proficiency in Ruby on Rails and TypeScript to understand application requirements and troubleshoot AWS interactions
- Don't meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet every single qualification. At Snapsheet, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you're excited about this role but your experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways
What the job involves
- Snapsheet is building out its DevOps function, and this is a key hire in that journey
- As a Senior DevOps Engineer reporting to the Director of IT, you will own the infrastructure layer underpinning our AWS cloud platform — including cloud networking, database infrastructure, availability architecture, security hardening, and operational automation
- You'll serve as the infrastructure platform partner for our Full Stack engineers and a close collaborator with SRE, which owns CI/CD, developer tooling, and observability
- Success in this role means bringing clarity, reliability, and rigor to how our AWS environment is managed and evolved
- Own infrastructure architecture and standards — naming, tagging, resource sizing, lifecycle management, and documentation — while auditing and closing gaps across environments
- Own internal and customer-facing cloud networking (VPCs, subnets, security groups, Transit Gateway, VPN/Direct Connect) and define standards for secure inter-service connectivity
- Manage database infrastructure including clustering, failover, encryption, backups, and performance tuning, with multi-AZ high-availability strategies to meet recovery objectives
- Design and maintain high-availability and disaster recovery strategies (RTO/RPO targets, runbooks, tested recovery processes), plus build cost/FinOps reporting to drive AWS spend visibility
- Administer AWS IAM (roles, policies, least-privilege, cross-account access) and enforce infrastructure security baselines in partnership with IT Security
- Co-own Terraform HCL infrastructure with SRE, writing modular, production-grade IaC and engaging with evolving workflow tooling (Terragrunt, Spacelift, etc.)
- Manage IT-layer AWS footprint (RPA server infrastructure, VDI) and co-own GitHub administration, and partner with Full Stack engineers on AWS service selection (Lambda, Fargate, App Runner, ElastiCache)
Our take
Snapsheet delivers end-to-end and modular cloud SaaS solutions for claims management, helping to digitize and automate the space. Its vast capabilities, including an AI-powered damage estimation tool, make claims processes easier to manage and less risk-prone for clients and providers alike.
In recent years, there has been a surge in interest in insurtech, which has certainly helped Snapsheet capture clients and support as it expands. As the sector continues to reassess procedures across the board, a further shift towards automation seems likely, driving yet more clients towards the kind of offerings that the company provides.
Certainly, Snapsheet has positioned itself well in the market, remaining a key player as the sector takes shape. It has shown promising growth and continues to expand its customer relationships, providing solutions that improve the adjuster experience. If it can keep delivering this value it should be able to remain at the front of market development.
