Automated school bus stop-arm camera enforcement
Overview
We’re hiring a DevOps Engineer to build and secure cloud platforms with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform & AWS CDK), GitOps, and multi‑account AWS. You’ll modernize legacy monoliths and accelerate microservices delivery while embedding security-by-default and reliability into everything we ship.
Key Responsibilities
· IaC at scale: Design, build, and maintain reusable Terraform modules and CDK constructs for landing zones, VPC/networking, compute, databases, and security controls across multiple accounts/environments.
· GitOps enablement: Implement and operate Github Actions for app and platform workloads; declarative config, drift detection, and progressive delivery (canary/blue‑green).
· Cloud security & compliance: Enforce least‑privilege IAM, KMS encryption, Secrets Manager/Parameter Store, GuardDuty/Security Hub, CloudTrail/Lake; contribute to SOC 2/ISO27001/CIS hardening and policy‑as‑code.
· Multi‑account architecture: Evolve AWS Organizations/Control Tower/SCPs, cross‑account roles, and shared services (observability, CI/CD, artifact registries, networking) with clear blast‑radius boundaries.
· Modernization: Partner with teams to decompose monoliths via the strangler‑fig pattern, carve‑outs, and data migration strategies; define microservice standards (contracts, observability, release patterns).
· CI/CD & reliability: Own build/test/release pipelines (GitHub Actions) quality gates, artifact/version promotion, rollbacks;
· Observability & ops: Standardize metrics/logs/traces with CloudWatch/Datadog codify dashboards, alerts, and runbooks. Drive cost visibility and guardrails.
· Developer experience: Ship self‑service templates, Backstage scaffolds/golden paths, and documentation that make the paved road the easiest road.
Preferred Qualifications
· 5+ years in DevOps/Platform/SRE roles operating production systems.
· Advanced Terraform and/or AWS CDK (TypeScript/Python); authored reusable modules/constructs and remote state strategies.
· AWS depth: VPC design (subnets, routing, NAT, TGW), ALB/NLB, ECS/EKS/Lambda, RDS/Aurora, S3, CloudFront, Route 53, IAM, KMS; experience with Control Tower/Organizations/SCPs.
· Containers & GitOps: Docker image build/hardening, Kubernetes and/or ECS operations.
· Security‑first mindset: Secrets management, encryption, vulnerability scanning, image signing/SBOMs, Policy-as‑Code;
· CI/CD & testing: Pipelines with unit/integration/e2e gates, environment promotion, and rollback strategies.
· Operations: On‑call participation, incident management, and post‑incident improvement.
Nice to Haves
· Backstage or internal developer platform (IDP) experience; golden‑path templates.
· Network security (WAF, Zero‑Trust), data security (PII tokenization/DLP), or compliance program experience.
· Additional policy‑as‑code tools: AWS Config conformance packs, CloudFormation Guard, tfsec/Checkov, Snyk.
· Cost management: CUR/Cost Explorer, anomaly detection, unit economics/chargeback, Savings Plans/RI strategy.
· Certifications: AWS DevOps/Solutions Architect, HashiCorp Terraform Associate, Kubernetes CKA/CKAD.
BusPatrol provides automated school bus stop arm camera systems in the United States, partnering with municipalities, school districts, and bus operators to improve child safety. It operates on a cost-recovery revenue-sharing model, offering the program at no upfront cost to clients and handling procurement, deployment, maintenance, coordination with law enforcement, and ongoing support. The system uses stop-arm cameras to detect violations, collect video evidence, and assist law enforcement in issuing citations, with the company taking a share of the fines as its revenue. Unlike others in the space, BusPatrol combines end-to-end program management with a no-cost entry for clients and a focus on reducing repeat offenses through formal enforcement. The company’s goal is to keep children safer on the road by dramatically reducing stop-arm violations and building a culture of road safety and accountability.
