Role Summary
SolarWinds IT Operations is evolving from “ticket takers” to a modern Platform & Operations Engineering organization. Our mission is to give engineers secure and reliable platforms so they can focus on building and shipping products.
We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to strengthen our IT DevOps team. In this role, you will own and evolve the internal platforms that power engineering: CI/CD, GitHub, AWS/Azure/GCP environments, and the next generation of developer workstations using Azure DevBox.
This is a senior individual contributor role with broad scope across tools, infrastructure, and process.

What You’ll Do
Platform Engineering & Automation
• Work closely with engineering teams to understand their workflows and pain points, and turn them into platform features instead of one off fixes.
• Provide guidance and patterns for teams using CI/CD, infrastructure, and cloud resources, balancing freedom with sensible defaults and controls.
• Design, implement, and operate self hosted build platforms (TeamCity, GitHub Actions runners, EKS backed workloads) in AWS and Kubernetes.
• Own and improve our artifact and package management stack (JFrog Artifactory, Xray) including lifecycle, retention, and performance.
• Treat our internal infrastructure as products: define golden paths for repositories, CI/CD, and dev/test environments and make them easy to adopt.
• Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.) for AWS, Azure, and VMware/private cloud resources.
• Automate repetitive operations and standard requests (environment provisioning, access, account setup) instead of scaling by tickets.
• Integrate and operationalize security tools (GitHub Advanced Security, Xray, SignPath, Azure Artifact Signing, etc.) as part of paved road workflows.

How We Operate
• Lead by example on planning, documentation, and change management: every significant change has a clear plan, ticket, and runbook or documentation update.
• Break down and deliver complex work incrementally; communicate progress and risks clearly to peers and leadership.
• Mentor other engineers in automation, reliability practices, and platform thinking; help raise the bar for the whole team.

What You’ll Bring
Required
• Strong experience as a Senior DevOps / Platform / SRE engineer supporting development teams in a cloud centric environment.
• Deep hands on knowledge of AWS (IAM, VPC, EC2/EKS, networking basics) and solid experience with Kubernetes in production.
• Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform strongly preferred) and configuration management.
• Familiarity with GitHub administration at organization/enterprise level (policies, protections, runners, security features).
• Demonstrated track record of owning services end to end: design, implementation, documentation, and steady state operations.
• Excellent communication skills; able to translate between engineering needs and IT/operations constraints.
