Job Description
**About Us**
We are a growing B2B SaaS company providing a shop management web application for
automotive maintenance businesses, specifically oil change shops. Our technology stack
includes Laravel/PHP, PostgreSQL, Redis, React, Node.js, and Linux\-based infrastructure.
We are preparing for a major migration to AWS and are looking for a hands\-on DevOps / Cloud
Engineer with experience supporting AWS migrations in production environments.
This is a hands\-on technical role for someone who enjoys infrastructure, scaling, reliability,
deployment automation, and systems engineering.
**Initial Project**
Support and implement migration of production infrastructure to AWS, including:
● AWS architecture planning and implementation
● Infrastructure design and deployment
● Infrastructure as Code
● Networking and security configuration
● CI/CD pipeline improvements
● Database migration planning and execution
● High availability and disaster recovery planning
● Monitoring and observability setup
● Deployment automation
● Rollback and failover planning
● Performance and cost optimization
**Ongoing Responsibilities**
After the migration, this role will continue as an ongoing DevOps / infrastructure engineering role
involving:
● AWS infrastructure management
● CI/CD pipeline maintenance and improvements
● Monitoring and alerting
● Production reliability and uptime
● Scaling and performance tuning
● Database operations and backups
● Security hardening
● Automation and tooling
● Linux server administration
● Supporting development teams with infrastructure\-related needs
● Occasional backend development support (PHP, Laravel, etc.)
**Required Experience**
● Strong hands\-on AWS experience in production environments
● Experience working on or supporting production infrastructure migrations to AWS
● Strong Linux systems administration background
● Experience with Infrastructure as Code
● Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
● Experience with PostgreSQL operations and backups
● Experience with Redis and caching systems
● Experience with Docker/containerized applications
● Strong understanding of networking, VPCs, IAM, load balancers, DNS, and security
groups
● Experience designing highly available systems
● Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills
**Nice to Have**
● Experience with Laravel/PHP applications
● Experience with Node.js and WebSockets
● Experience with monitoring, logging, and observability platforms
● Experience working in security\-conscious or compliance\-focused environments
**What We’re Looking For**
We are looking for someone pragmatic, experienced, and hands\-on — not just someone who
creates architecture diagrams.
**The ideal candidate:**
● Has experience contributing to production AWS migrations
● Understands tradeoffs between cost, complexity, and scalability
● Can work independently
● Communicates clearly with technical and non\-technical stakeholders
● Is comfortable owning infrastructure implementation decisions
**Why Join Us?**
● $80K – $100K CAD for the full 6\-month engagement (independent contractor role)
● Strong potential for contract extension
● 100% remote (Canada\-based preferred; Greater Toronto Area is a plus)
● Flexible work environment with occasional team meetups
● Work on a growing SaaS product in the automotive industry with a small, fast\-moving
team
