About the Role

We're looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to drive infrastructure automation, CI/CD strategy, and cloud platform reliability for a large-scale, high-availability production environment.

Author and review Infrastructure as Code, setting standards for quality and guiding others through the review process
Design integration patterns and internal platforms that make it easy for developers to ship software reliably
Own and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines across the org
Manage containerized workloads and orchestration platforms (virtual servers, containers, Kubernetes) independently
Build automation that moves the needle on team and cross-org SLAs/KPIs
Bake security and data protection into pipeline design
Diagnose and resolve complex, novel production issues using logs, metrics, and system behavior analysis
Set branching strategy standards to support parallel development across teams
Monitor system performance proactively, catching and resolving bottlenecks before they become incidents
Manage multi-region/multi-cloud networking, including zero-trust and VPN architectures
Support canary deployments and chaos engineering practices to validate system resilience
Design and implement disaster recovery and network redundancy strategies
Lead technical discussions and share DevOps best practices across the team
Mentor junior DevOps engineers with hands-on coaching and feedback
Participate in an on-call rotation, including off-hours, supporting a large, mission-critical production system

What You'll Bring

3+ years of production experience as a DevOps or Software Engineer
Strong Terraform expertise for building and managing infrastructure as code
Deep experience with Docker and Kubernetes for building and deploying containerized applications
Working knowledge of AWS and Azure, with a focus on cost-optimized cloud architecture
Proven ability to design scalable, resilient cloud systems using established architecture patterns
Proficiency in at least one scripting language for building custom tooling and API integrations
Strong version control fluency (branching, merging, conflict resolution)
Familiarity with InfoSec standards and the ability to spot security gaps
Experience with monitoring/observability platforms (e.g., Datadog) for alerting and root-cause analysis
Understanding of cloud billing and cost management practices
Strong troubleshooting, decision-making, and communication skills
A collaborative mindset and high standards for work quality
