LATAM (Remote) Full-Time Contract ASAP English Required

ABO UT THE ROLE

We're looking for a hands-on Cloud Infrastructure & DevOps Engineer who can own the AWS

environment of a growing GPS technology company end-to-end. This is not a ticket-executor role —

it's for someone who makes architectural decisions, drives real cost reduction, and works closely

with the product team to keep infrastructure fast, reliable, and lean.

The client already has AWS and Terraform in place. Your job is to take ownership, optimize

aggressively, and build the systems that let the dev team ship without friction.

W HAT YOU' LL DO

Own and evolve AWS infrastructure using Terraform as the primary IaC tool — modules,

remote state, multi-environment consistency.

Lead cloud cost optimization: analyze spend with Cost Explorer, implement rightsizing, savings

plans, reserved instances, and architectural changes with measurable results.

Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for reliable deployment of backend (Node.js), frontend

(React), and mobile components.

Monitor infrastructure health and set up proactive alerting using CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and

AWS-native tools.

Enforce security best practices: IAM least-privilege policies, Secrets Manager, VPC

segmentation, WAF.

Manage multi-environment setups (dev, staging, production) — no manual snowflakes,

everything in code.

Support containerization workflows with Docker and ECS; evaluate EKS adoption as the

platform grows.

Collaborate directly with the fullstack team and client stakeholders in English to define and ship

infrastructure requirements.

W HAT WE' RE LOOKING FO R

Must-Have

5+ years of hands-on AWS experience in production environments — this is the non-negotiable

core.

Production-grade Terraform: real ownership of IaC codebases, not just scripts from tutorials.

Proven AWS cost optimization results you can speak to with specific numbers in an interview.

Experience designing and managing CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline,

Jenkins, or equivalent).

Solid AWS networking: VPCs, subnets, security groups, ALB/NLB, Route 53, CloudFront.

Docker for containerization; ECS for workload orchestration.

Fluent in English — you'll communicate directly with a U.S.-based client team, written and

verbal.

Comfortable working autonomously and owning outcomes end-to-end without daily oversight.

Nice-to-Have

AWS certifications: Solutions Architect (Associate or Professional), DevOps Engineer, or

SysOps Administrator.

Serverless experience: Lambda, API Gateway, SQS, SNS, EventBridge.

Kubernetes (EKS) for container orchestration at scale.

Observability beyond CloudWatch: Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, or OpenTelemetry.

Infrastructure experience on IoT, GPS, or telematics platforms — a genuine differentiator for

this client.

Python or Bash scripting for operational automation.

TECH STACK

AWS Terraform Docker GitHub Actions

ECS / EKS CloudWatch IAM Lambda

VPC / Route 53 Cost Explorer Secrets Manager WAF

THI S RO LE I S NOT FO R YOU I F

You need a fully defined architecture and runbook before making infrastructure changes.

You prefer a large team with clear swim lanes and dedicated security or networking specialists.

You optimize for perfect scalability before proving that the cost or reliability problem is real.

You're uncomfortable communicating directly with clients and translating ambiguous

requirements.

You've only contributed to infrastructure in a support role — this requires end-to-end ownership.

W HY COMMITTED STAFF

Committed Staff connects the top 1% of LATAM talent with high-growth U.S. companies. We don't

just place candidates — we build committed teams that scale. You'll benefit from:

Direct access to a U.S. GPS tech client with real infrastructure challenges and budget to solve

them.

Full-time remote work, fully aligned with U.S. time zones.

Competitive LATAM-market compensation.

A network of top tech professionals across Latin America.

Prepare your application

Use the description above to assess your fit for Committedstaff. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.

Match requirements to evidence

Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.

Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.

Check the working arrangement

Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.

Review before submitting

Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.

Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.

Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
