Who we are
We are Foxsense Innovations - a bunch of passionate developers that love solving complex business problems through products and tools we build from scratch. Weʼve been at it for over 7 years now, and weʼve serviced over 50 happy customers around the world, while also building several in-house micro-SaaS tools for the market (all of this while being bootstrapped and profitable).

About the role:
As a Senior DevOps Engineer at Foxsense Innovations, you will drive the design and evolution of our AWS-based infrastructure that supports our software development and deployment processes. You'll partner closely with cross-functional teams and engineering leadership to set technical direction for scalability, security, and reliability — while mentoring engineers and raising the bar for operational excellence across the org.
Responsibilities:
Infrastructure as Code (IaC):
- Architect and own AWS infrastructure using Terraform or CloudFormation, establishing reusable modules and standards adopted across teams.
- Drive decisions on scalability, security, and performance across core AWS services (EC2, ECS/Fargate, RDS, S3, VPC, API Gateway, Lambda), anticipating growth and failure modes.
Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD):
- Design and own CI/CD pipeline architecture end-to-end (e.g., CodePipeline/CodeBuild, GitHub Actions, or Jenkins deploying to AWS), setting standards for automated software delivery across multiple teams/projects.
- Identify and resolve systemic bottlenecks in build and deployment workflows; lead optimization initiatives with development teams.
Configuration Management:
- Own configuration management strategy for application servers, databases, and infrastructure using tools like Ansible or Puppet, in AWS environments.
- Define and enforce consistency and reliability standards across environments, including for newly onboarded projects.
