AWS DevOps Engineer (Freelancer)

Mactores is the agent-native AWS modernization firm.

Most modernization work doesn't ship, it stalls in pilots, slips a year, or lands at three times the budget.

We exist to ship it: production systems running, legacy retired, outcomes measured.

Our delivery is built on Aedeon, the agent platform built by Mactores' founders' sister company, which absorbs the repetitive 60–70% of engagement work, discovery, dependency mapping, validation, test generation, that traditional consulting bills human hours against.

Forward-deployed engineers own the rest: architecture, judgment, and cutover, on dates we commit to in the contract.

This freelance role sits in our infrastructure modernization work under the Application & Database Modernization pillar: moving legacy infrastructure and large enterprise workloads to AWS, and making the resulting platforms boring to operate.

Customers come to us with hand-built environments, release cycles that depend on heroics, and big data workloads that outgrew their monitoring years ago.

You'll work as a hands-on DevOps engineer on customer deployments, Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, automated monitoring — for enterprise applications, customer applications, and big data workloads.

Aedeon absorbs the discovery and validation grind; your billed hours go to the automation and reliability engineering that gets releases out and keeps them out.

It's client-facing work: you set customer expectations and then meet them.

• Automate infrastructure creation using Terraform and AWS CloudFormation.
• Run application configuration management and enable Infrastructure as Code through deployment tools.
• Own and manage the build and release cycle for customer projects.
• Share responsibility for deploying releases and other operations and maintenance activities.
• Improve operations infrastructure: Jenkins clusters, Bitbucket, monitoring tools (Consul), and metrics tools like Graphite and Grafana.
• Provide operational support for the engineering team and help migrate legacy infrastructure to the cloud.
• Establish and enforce operational best practices, including monitoring for automated system health checks.
• Build scalable infrastructure for data platforms-Amazon EMR, Redshift, and SageMaker.
• Build our CI pipeline, and train and guide the team in DevOps practices.
