DevOps Developer, Internal Applications

Algo Communication Products Ltd.•Burnaby, BC

31d•CA$115,000

About The Position

Algo is building a suite of internally developed cloud applications that support employees across every department of the business. As our DevOps Developer, you'll play a key role throughout the entire software lifecycle—from developing applications and APIs to deploying, securing, monitoring, and maintaining production systems. In the early stages, you'll spend a significant amount of time contributing to application development, helping build backend services, integrations, automation, and internal web applications. As our internal software portfolio grows, your focus will naturally evolve toward cloud infrastructure, deployment automation, reliability, security, and operational excellence while continuing to support new application development. You'll deploy and operate these systems within Algo's existing AWS environment while helping establish best practices for cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, monitoring, documentation, and long-term maintainability.

Requirements

4–5 years of experience in DevOps, cloud infrastructure, platform design, or application deployment.
Minimum 1 year of hands-on full-stack software development experience building and deploying web applications.
Experience supporting production cloud applications throughout their lifecycle.
Strong experience with AWS (preferred) or another major cloud platform
Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar)
CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
Docker, containers, and cloud-native application deployment
Monitoring, logging, backups, security, and incident response
Backend development using at least one modern programming language
Frontend and backend web application development
