Junior AWS Engineer

We're Looking for an experienced Senior Cloud Engineer! About the Company: Security Benefit is a leader in the U.S. retirement market with more than $60 billion in assets under management. We offer opportunities to thrive, innovate, and make an impact. As part of our team, you’ll play a key role in driving the future of the U.S. retirement industry. Security Benefit is a PLACE where we promise to help our customers To and Through Retirement®. We’re proud to have been recognized as one of the best in the business: * Named to Ward’s 50 list of top-performing life-health insurance companies * Recognized on list of Ingram’s Top 100 Private Companies in the Kansas City area in 2024   About the Role: As a Senior Cloud Engineer you will build the reusable, team-agnostic GitLab CI/CD platform that the rest of the organization adopts. You are the engineering engine that turns Security Benefit’s DevSecOps maturity roadmap into working, audit-compliant pipelines — then partner directly with each team’s tech leads to onboard their workloads and hand day-to-day release ownership back to those teams. This role is best suited for a builder who takes pride in engineering excellence within a clear strategic direction, going deep on one team at a time and leaving every engagement with a reusable contribution to the shared platform.   This role reports to the Manager, AWS Platform Engineering, and is based out of our Overland Park, Kansas office with a hybrid work schedule offering flexibility between on-site and remote work. * Design, build, and maintain enterprise-standard GitLab CI/CD templates, shared libraries, and include components that teams adopt with minimal friction — ensuring every engagement leaves a reusable artifact back in the shared platform * Own GitLab runner fleet management and performance, including Windows runners required for private-network access to SQL Server environments across DEV, QA, and PROD * Implement Terraform-based Infrastructure as Code for AWS workloads (ECS Fargate, EC2, Lambda, RDS/Aurora) across environment-segregated accounts * Build database and data-engineering CI/CD: migration-based deployment for SQL Server and Snowflake, SSIS/.ispac packaging, and ETL/DML/DDL pipelines * Build SAST, DAST, SCA, and secret-detection as reusable shared CI components, and embed segregation of duties, dual approval, JSM/CAB integration, and automated audit-evidence generation into the pipeline standard * Partner with each team’s tech lead to onboard their workload onto the standard pipeline, define a clear handoff-readiness bar, and ensure tech leads can independently own releases end to end * Produce documentation, runbooks, and quick-reference guides as first-class deliverables alongside the code; provide ongoing consulting and escalation support to teams operating autonomously * Manage versioned, immutable artifacts via GitLab Package Registry with semantic versioning, SHA256 verification, and audit-compliant retention; implement environment promotion (DEV → QA → PROD) and rollback procedures * Enforce secrets-management best practices across all pipelines using GitLab CI variables and AWS Secrets Manager * Provide technical mentorship and guidance to junior engineers on the team, building internal capability alongside the platform itself What We’re Looking For: * 5–8+ years hands-on in DevOps, DevSecOps, platform, or release engineering, including a track record of building reusable CI/CD adopted by more than one team * Deep GitLab CI/CD expertise: pipeline templates and components, Compliance Module, runner fleet management, group and repository administration, access controls, branch protection, and merge request policies * Strong Terraform/IaC skills and solid AWS experience across ECS, EC2, Lambda, RDS/Aurora, S3, IAM, and Secrets Manager * Scripting proficiency across stacks: PowerShell (critical for Windows runners and SQL Server automation), Python, Bash, and YAML * Experience implementing security scanning (SAST, DAST, SCA, secret detection) inside CI/CD pipelines * Demonstrated ability to design automation that satisfies audit and compliance requirements — approval gates, evidence generation, and change traceability — ideally in a regulated industry * Working knowledge of containerization (Docker) * Builds for reuse, not for the moment: leaves every team more capable and self-sufficient, thrives going deep single-threaded, and treats documentation as part of the job * Database and data-engineering CI/CD: migration-based deployment (Flyway-style/schemachange), SSIS, dbt; pragmatic problem-solving when vendor tooling is unreliable (preferred) * Exposure to the modern data stack: Snowflake, Fivetran (Terraform provider), and Coalesce (preferred) * GitLab, AWS, and/or Terraform certifications (preferred)   Why Choose Security Benefit? When you join our team, you’re not just getting a paycheck — you’re getting a career path full of growth opportunities, plus a robust benefits package that puts your well-being first. Here’s what you can expect as a full-time Security Benefit associate: * Competitive salary and annual incentive bonuses to reward your contributions. * 33 days of paid time off (including PTO, holidays, Volunteer Day, and days of significance). * Paid parental leave after 90 days of service. * Comprehensive medical, dental & vision insurance. * 401(k) with company match, plus Profit Sharing & Savings Plan. * Short- and Long-Term Disability Insurance to give you peace of mind. * Flexible Spending Accounts for medical and dependent care. * Life Insurance to protect your loved ones. * Educational assistance to support your career development. * Associate assistance programs for your personal and professional well-being.   Ready to Make an Impact?
