DevOps Engineer

Overview

Our client is seeking a DevOps Engineer to design, build, and maintain scalable, reliable, and secure infrastructure that supports the development and delivery of modern software products. This role plays a critical part in enabling engineering velocity, system resilience, and operational excellence by bridging development and operations through automation, observability, and best-in-class DevOps practices.

The DevOps Engineer will partner closely with Software Engineering, Platform, Security, and Product teams to streamline CI/CD pipelines, optimize cloud infrastructure, and ensure high availability across production and non-production environments. The ideal candidate is hands-on, deeply technical, and passionate about improving developer experience while maintaining strong controls around reliability, performance, and security.

Key Responsibilities

- Design, implement, and maintain cloud-based infrastructure to support scalable, high-availability applications.

- Build and manage CI/CD pipelines to enable fast, reliable, and repeatable software deployments.

- Automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools.

- Partner with engineering teams to improve application performance, reliability, and deployment processes.

- Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions to ensure system observability and rapid incident response.

- Support production operations, including on-call rotations, incident management, and root cause analysis.

- Collaborate with Security teams to enforce best practices around access control, secrets management, and compliance.

- Optimize cloud costs through capacity planning, usage analysis, and infrastructure optimization.

- Document systems, processes, and operational runbooks to support scalability and knowledge sharing.

- Continuously evaluate and introduce tools and practices that improve system resilience and developer productivity.

Operating Context

- Operates in a fast-paced, product-driven environment with frequent releases and evolving technical requirements.

- Works cross-functionally with Software Engineering, Platform, Security, and Product teams.

- Balances project-based infrastructure initiatives with ongoing operational support responsibilities.

- Supports distributed systems running in cloud-native environments.

- Typically operates in a remote-first or hybrid setting using modern DevOps, monitoring, and collaboration tools.

Required Skills

- Strong experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.

- Proficiency in Infrastructure as Code tools (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi).

- Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI).

- Solid understanding of Linux systems, networking, and cloud security fundamentals.

- Experience with containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).

- Familiarity with monitoring, logging, and alerting tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK).

- Strong scripting or programming skills (e.g., Bash, Python, Go).

- Ability to troubleshoot complex systems and perform root cause analysis under pressure.

- Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with a strong sense of ownership.

Preferred Qualifications

- 4–8+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or Infrastructure roles.

- Experience supporting SaaS or high-traffic, customer-facing applications.

- Exposure to security best practices, compliance frameworks, or regulated environments.

- Experience with service mesh, zero-trust networking, or advanced Kubernetes operations.

- Prior experience working in distributed or fully remote engineering teams.

Success Metrics

- Improved deployment frequency and reduced lead time for changes.

- High system availability and reduced incident frequency and severity.

- Strong observability and faster mean time to detect (MTTD) and resolve (MTTR) incidents.

- Scalable, cost-efficient infrastructure that supports business growth.

- Positive developer feedback on tooling, pipelines, and operational support.
