Position Overview

Are you ready to take ownership of a mission-critical role and make a real impact? We’re looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to lead the charge in scaling and advancing our cloud infrastructure and deployment strategy. This isn’t just another DevOps role – you’ll be at the forefront of building, optimizing, and innovating across the entire development lifecycle.

As our DevOps Engineer, you’ll partner closely with development, support, and implementation teams to provide the tools, pipelines, and infrastructure they need to succeed. You’ll design, manage, and optimize Azure environments, from production to staging, testing, and development. Your work will span across technologies such as Azure Front Door, Linux-based MS-SQL Servers (with a migration path to SQL Azure), Azure Web Apps, IIS Virtual Servers, Windows App Servers, and Windows Dev/Test Workstations. You’ll also take the lead in building and refining CI/CD pipelines in Azure to drive automation and efficiency across all stages of development.

Beyond infrastructure, you’ll play a critical role in maintaining compliance and security by overseeing processes for SOC2, ISO, and HIPAA, as well as managing certifications and audits. This is a new role in a rapidly growing company, where DevOps responsibilities have previously been shared among senior leadership and developers with consultant support. Now, we’re looking for an expert to step in, take the reins, and chart the course forward.

If you thrive in fast-paced, startup-style environments, enjoy wearing multiple hats, and want to leave your fingerprint on a company’s growth trajectory, this is the perfect opportunity. You’ll have the freedom to shape strategy, implement best practices, and introduce new tools and technologies—all while helping us scale to the next level.
