DevOps Architect

o9 Solutions, Inc.Dallas, VT
$169,793 - $233,466

About The Position

At o9, we invest in people. We seek talented, driven individuals to power our transformative approach. You’ll thrive in a dynamic, supportive environment, growing while making a real impact. We are seeking a highly skilled DevOps Architect to lead the design, implementation, and optimization of our DevOps processes, toolchains, and cloud infrastructure. This is a senior IC role at the technical manager level — you will act as a trusted technical authority, driving architectural decisions and shaping engineering culture across the organization. The ideal candidate brings deep hands-on expertise alongside the strategic mindset to define long-term infrastructure direction, bridging development, operations, security, and product teams to deliver software reliably and at scale.

Requirements

  • 10+ years in DevOps, platform engineering, infrastructure, or SRE roles — with at least 3 years in a senior architect or technical lead capacity.
  • Demonstrated ability to design and deliver enterprise-scale DevOps solutions in complex, multi-team environments, influencing decisions across cross-functional teams.
  • Background supporting SaaS applications in production, including incident management, performance tuning, and continuous improvement.
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, IT, or related field required; Master’s preferred.
  • Advanced certification in AWS, Azure, or GCP (e.g., Solutions Architect Professional, DevOps Engineer Expert, Professional Cloud Architect).
  • Deep expertise in at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP) with working knowledge of multi-cloud architectures.
  • Strong proficiency with Docker, Kubernetes, and equivalent orchestration platforms (ECS/EKS, AKS, GKE); hands-on experience with Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible, or CloudFormation.
  • Solid command of CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, CircleCI) and scripting languages (Python, Bash, Go, or Ruby).
  • Experience administering MS SQL Server and MongoDB; working knowledge of Linux and Windows administration, networking fundamentals, and observability platforms (Datadog, Prometheus/Grafana, Splunk, ELK).
  • Practical understanding of AI/ML as applied to DevOps — including AI-assisted coding tools (GitHub Copilot, Amazon CodeWhisperer), AIOps platforms for anomaly detection, and LLM-powered automation for incident triage and runbook generation.
  • Experience evaluating and integrating AI-powered DevOps tooling (predictive scaling, intelligent test selection, automated security scanning) with clear-eyed assessment of tradeoffs in accuracy, cost, and reliability.
  • Proactive mindset toward emerging technology — translating advancements in AI, platform engineering, and cloud-native ecosystems into actionable improvements for the team.
  • Exceptional communicator — able to translate complex technical concepts for both engineering peers and executive stakeholders.
  • Strong mentorship instincts with a passion for growing engineers and fostering a culture of continuous learning and operational excellence.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple high-priority workstreams; comfortable in a globally distributed environment across time zones.

Nice To Haves

  • Certifications in Kubernetes (CKA/CKAD), HashiCorp Terraform, or security frameworks (CISSP, CompTIA Security+) are a plus.
  • Familiarity with infrastructure patterns supporting AI/ML workloads: GPU compute, model serving, vector databases, and ML pipeline orchestration (Kubeflow, MLflow, SageMaker Pipelines).

Responsibilities

  • Lead end-to-end architecture of scalable, secure, high-performing DevOps solutions supporting enterprise-grade deployment pipelines.
  • Define and own the DevOps reference architecture — establishing standards, patterns, and guardrails adopted across the organization.
  • Evaluate emerging technologies and recommend toolchain investments; design multi-cloud and hybrid infrastructure strategies.
  • Develop, evaluate, select, and integrate best-in-class tools across CI/CD, IaC, container orchestration, monitoring, and security.
  • Drive automation of infrastructure provisioning, deployment, and testing pipelines; champion IaC practices using Terraform, Ansible, and similar tools.
  • Build and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) enabling rapid, reliable delivery across environments.
  • Champion adoption of AI-powered DevOps tooling — from AI-assisted code review and intelligent test generation to AIOps-driven incident detection — continuously identifying where AI can reduce toil and accelerate delivery.
  • Mentor and coach engineers on DevOps methodologies, cloud-native patterns, and platform engineering best practices.
  • Conduct architecture reviews, set a high technical bar, and collaborate with engineering managers and product leadership to align DevOps strategy with business goals.
  • Contribute to hiring and technical interviewing to grow the DevOps and platform engineering function.
  • Design comprehensive observability solutions — monitoring, distributed tracing, centralized logging, and alerting — to ensure platform health and rapid incident response.
  • Define and enforce SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets; integrate DevSecOps practices and ensure compliance with SOC 2, ISO 27001, and relevant regulatory frameworks.
  • Lead vulnerability assessments and implement secrets management strategies across cloud and on-premises infrastructure.
  • Provide expert-level support for complex infrastructure and SaaS platform issues, including root cause analysis and preventive remediation.
  • Participate in on-call rotations for 24/7 incident response; collaborate effectively with globally distributed teams across time zones.
