DevOps / Cloud Engineer

Enakl builds the digital infrastructure for shared commuting in African cities. Our platform handles 30K+ monthly bookings across B2B and consumer segments, with clear trajectory toward multi-tenant SaaS architecture.

We're hiring a senior cloud & DevOps engineer to own our AWS infrastructure and DevOps practices as we scale toward multi-tenant SaaS. You'll inherit a Terraform foundation and CI/CD pipelines, then evolve them toward enterprise-grade, cost-optimized, secure deployments. ### Current Environment - AWS Infrastructure: VPC, RDS (PostgreSQL), EC2, Lambda, Route53, CloudWatch - IaC: Terraform modules with S3 state management - CI/CD: GitHub Actions pipelines - Team: Small experienced engineering team (you'll be the cloud & DevOps specialist) ### Initial Focus – Infrastructure Foundations - Security audit and hardening (IAM, security groups, network architecture) - CI/CD enhancement (automated testing, deployment strategies, rollbacks) - Cost optimization (right-sizing, auto-scaling, storage optimization) - Monitoring and alerting (CloudWatch, logging, incident response) ### Evolution – Multi-Tenant Architecture - Environment separation (dev/staging/prod with tenant isolation) - Developer enablement (local dev workflows, secrets management, deployments) - Security compliance (audit logging, operational standards) - Disaster recovery (backup strategies, multi-AZ deployments, recovery procedures) ### Long-Term – Enterprise Scale - Auto-scaling and load balancing - Advanced observability (APM, distributed tracing, dashboards) - IaC maturity (modular Terraform, testing, documentation)

We're a lean, senior team building production systems that scale. You'll have end-to-end ownership of our cloud infrastructure and DevOps practices — from security to cost optimization to developer tooling. You'll thrive if you value: - Security-first engineering – every change considers risk and operational resilience - Developer enablement – empowering the team with reliable tooling and automation - Cost consciousness – balancing performance with efficiency - Simplicity over complexity – elegant solutions that last - Infrastructure as Code – everything versioned, tested, reproducible

### Required - 5+ years in cloud engineering / DevOps with AWS focus - Expert AWS skills (VPC, RDS, EC2, Lambda, Route53, CloudWatch, IAM) - Infrastructure as Code with deep Terraform expertise (modular design, state management) - DevOps expertise (CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, containerization) - Security-first mindset (AWS best practices, cost management, operational resilience) - Strong monitoring/observability expertise - Solid software engineering practices (clean code, testing, version control) ### Strong Plus - Multi-tenant architecture experience (tenant isolation, security, cost optimization) - PostgreSQL optimization (RDS tuning, read replicas, backup strategies) - Compliance frameworks (security audits, operational policies) - Cost optimization strategies (reserved/spot instances, AWS cost management)

- Own the cloud & DevOps foundation of a platform serving 30K+ monthly bookings - Lead the transition from single-tenant → multi-tenant SaaS architecture - Join a senior engineering team that values autonomy and engineering craft - Shape our AWS infrastructure for enterprise scale, security, and resilience
