How to become an AWS DevOps engineer?

AWS, or Amazon Web Service, is a cloud service and computing platform provided by Amazon.com. Amazon Web Services offers cloud computing platforms to businesses and organizations that do not have the financial or infrastructure resources to run their own servers. DevOps is a development and operations methodology that aims to shorten the systems development life cycle and provide continuous delivery with high IT quality.

The concept of DevOps refers to the close, symbiotic relationship between development (Dev) and operations (Ops) departments. The goal is to bring about more efficient application release management by standardizing and automating development environments; AWS supports this process by providing services and tools that enable DevOps teams to build, store and deploy applications.

There have been several DevOps salary studies done throughout the past year, with results showing an upward trend in salary for AWS DevOps engineers. Many organizations are adopting AWS DevOps, and it provides a clear path for disruption and a cultural shift.

What are the roles and responsibilities of an AWS DevOps engineer?

Skills required to become an AWS DevOps engineer

You must always start by learning the fundamental skills that can get you high-paying AWS DevOps engineer jobs. Let us now understand what you need to know!

1. Continuous delivery

If you want to be a DevOps engineer for Amazon Web Services, you can't just have experience using CD tools and systems. You'll also need to understand their inner workings, so you can integrate them together and build fully functioning delivery pipelines. For instance, you'll need to understand how to commit, merge, build, and deploy code. The AWS DevOps engineer needs both experience and theoretical knowledge of the different tools

2. Cloud

To be an AWS DevOps engineer, a candidate must be an expert authority on AWS services, tools, and best practices. Product development teams will approach them with questions on several services and ask for recommendations on how to use them and when to use them. In addition to a broad understanding of AWS technology, an AWS DevOps engineer should also have a strong understanding of the limits of services, tools, and potential pitfalls they may run into in specific situations.

3. Observation Skills

Shipping new applications to production is great. However, it's even better if you know what they are being used for. Being observant is critical for this position. An AWS DevOps engineer should make sure that an application and the systems it runs on have effective monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions. Application Performance Monitoring software can provide crucial insights into an app's inner workings, making repairs and custom code fixes much easier to complete.

4. Docker

Docker, an open platform for developing, shipping, and running distributed applications, provides a method for separating applications from infrastructure. By leveraging Docker’s methodology for shipping code quickly, you can cut the delay between writing and running code in production. Using containers instead of virtual machines, you can optimize the performance of your apps by reducing the overhead associated with running multiple processes.

5. Linux

The Linux operating system is open-source software. It can be used as an embedded OS for a variety of applications. Because Linux is free, it is often used in network operating systems for routers, switches, domain name system servers, home networking devices, and more.

6. DevOps

DevOps is organizational culture and set of principles centered on communication, collaboration, integration, and automation of software development processes. This culture enables developers and operations engineers to work together more efficiently while automating the software delivery process. DevOps is essential to organizations that need to deliver new services or updates quickly in a competitive environment.

Senior Full-Stack Developer (Python)

About the Client


We are a fast-growing Managed Service Provider (MSP) serving complex, high-demand environments. We’re investing heavily in  automation, reporting, and internal products to:

· Eliminate repetitive manual work

· Give leadership accurate, real-time visibility through data and dashboards

· Build internal platforms that become core to how we operate and scale

You won’t be “just a developer.” You’ll be a partner in designing how the business works.


About the Role


We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Developer (Python-first)  with a consultant mentality—someone who can sit with stakeholders,  understand the business problem, challenge assumptions, design a solution, and then actually build it.

You’ll sit in our DevOps /  Internal Products team and focus on automation, data pipelines, and internal applications that make our teams and clients more effective.  You’ll act as an internal consultant + builder: framing problems,  proposing options, and delivering working solutions.


If you  enjoy asking “why,” mapping out the real need, and then shipping tools  and automations that create measurable impact, this role is for you.


Responsibilities


  • You will take business problems from idea → design → implementation → iteration

    1. 1. Internal Applications & Tools
  • · Design and build internal apps that improve client management, service delivery, and operations/back-office workflows.
  • · Implement back-end services (primarily in Python) and practical front-end experiences.
  • · Integrate multiple systems (internal tools, third-party SaaS, line-of-business apps).

    2. 2. Data Pipelines & Reporting
  • · Build and maintain ETL/ELT pipelines to ingest, transform, and model data from multiple systems.
  • · Design data models that support reporting and analytics for leadership, account management, and finance.
  • · Work closely with BI/reporting tools (e.g. Power BI or similar) to ensure data is accurate, documented, and usable.

    3. 3. Automation & Workflow Optimization
  • · Identify repetitive, error-prone processes and own their automation end-to-end.
  • · Connect APIs, data sources, and internal tools to reduce manual effort and errors.
  • · Track and communicate the impact of your work (time saved, errors reduced, faster cycles, etc.).

    4. 4. Consultative Stakeholder Collaboration
  • · Act as an internal consultant to operations, finance, service, and leadership.
  • · Ask probing questions to clarify goals, constraints, and tradeoffs before jumping into code.
  • · Translate business pain points into clear technical options (“Option A vs B vs C”) and help stakeholders choose.
  • · Push back thoughtfully when a proposed solution isn’t optimal, and recommend simpler or higher-impact alternatives.
  • · Communicate progress, risks, and impact in clear, non-technical language.

    5. 5. Architecture & Technical Direction
  • · Contribute to patterns, standards, and best practices for internal tools and automation.
  • · Help make decisions on tech stack, structure, and long-term maintainability.
  • · Participate in code reviews and mentoring for other developers where appropriate.

Qualifications


  • Strong professional experience with Python (services, scripts, automation, data processing).
  • Strong SQL skills and experience with data modeling, ETL/ELT, and working with structured data.
  • Experience building APIs, back-end services, or internal tools that support real users.
  • Hands-on experience integrating with RESTful APIs and third-party platforms.
  • Familiarity with Git and modern development workflows.
  • Consultant Mindset & Ways of Working (Must-Have)
    · You think and act like a consultant, not an order-taker.
    · Comfortable sitting with non-technical stakeholders, understanding their world, and reframing the problem.
    · Regularly ask, “What are we really trying to achieve?” before deciding how to build.
    · Can explain technical options in plain business language, including tradeoffs (time, risk, complexity, impact).
    · Strong ownership mindset—you don’t just design the solution, you drive it through to done.
    · Measure success in business outcomes (time saved, fewer errors, better visibility), not just completed tickets.


Offer Details

  • Full-time contractor or full-time employment, depending on the country
  • Remote only, full-time dedication (40 hours/week)
  • 6 hours of overlap with Pacific Timezone
  • Competitive compensation package.
  • Opportunities for professional growth and career development.
  • Dynamic and inclusive work environment focused on innovation and teamwork
