Job Level

About the role

  • Design and implement robust CI/CD frameworks for serverless and containerized (Kubernetes/Docker) applications.
  • Lead the transition to fully versioned infrastructure - owning IaC strategy using Terraform, Pulumi, or Bicep to ensure environment parity and rapid recovery.
  • Own the availability, performance, and survivability of production environments; define and monitor SLOs/SLIs to maintain 99.9%+ uptime targets.
  • Serve as the primary owner of the organization's security posture - implement automated vulnerability scanning, IAM least-privilege policies, and audit logging for strict PCI DSS compliance.
  • Partner with QA and Software Engineering leads to embed DevSecOps practices into the early stages of the SDLC.
  • Lead root-cause analysis (RCA) for complex system failures and drive implementation of preventative automations to eliminate repeat incidents.
  • Architect and improve monitoring, alerting, and observability tooling across all production and non-production environments.
  • Mentor junior and mid-level TechOps engineers - conducting code/config reviews, sharing expertise, and contributing to team capability development.
  • Champion TechOps best practices across the team; set the documentation and process standards others follow.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to evaluate new technologies and deliver infrastructure roadmap items on time.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or Systems Engineering.
  • Deep expertise with CI/CD pipelines and release automation across complex, multi-environment systems.
  • Strong cloud platform mastery (AWS, Azure, or GCP) - you can architect a solution and then build it.
  • Expert-level Kubernetes experience; comfortable designing and troubleshooting production container workloads.
  • Advanced IaC proficiency using Terraform, Pulumi, Bicep, or equivalent - you treat infrastructure like software.
  • Demonstrated experience owning PCI DSS compliance for a production environment.
  • Strong background in security engineering: IAM, vulnerability management, automated scanning, and audit logging.
  • Ability to define and track SLOs/SLIs and translate reliability data into infrastructure improvements.
  • Track record of mentoring engineers and raising the overall skill level of a team.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; you can explain trade-offs to engineers and business stakeholders alike.
  • Self-directed and highly organized - thrives in a fully remote, async-first environment.
