DevOps Engineer

Mojio•Vancouver, BC

32d•Remote

About The Position

Mojio's DevOps function is lean and hands-on. You'll join a small team responsible for our AWS-based infrastructure, security posture, and internal IT needs, working alongside another DevOps engineer to keep things running smoothly rather than covering everything solo. This is an individual-contributor role: you won't be managing a team, but you will have real, direct ownership over production infrastructure. A self-directed, dependable, detail-oriented approach matters more than seniority or years of experience.

Requirements

3+ years of hands-on DevOps, infrastructure, or site reliability experience, ideally at a small-to-medium sized startup/organization where you owned tasks end-to-end.
Real-world, production experience with AWS (EKS, S3, Route 53, MSK, RDS, VPC, IAM, CloudFront, or similar core services).
Proven experience with Kubernetes, including deploying, managing and scaling containerized applications.
Strong understanding of containerization technologies such as Docker.
Experience with Kustomize and managing helm charts for packing and deploying Kubernetes workloads.
Experience building infrastructure as a code using Terraform/Terragrunt.
Proficiency in scripting or programming languages such as Python, Go or Bash.
Comfort with source control (Git) and CI/CD tooling (GitHub Actions or equivalent).
Basic security fundamentals - experience patching vulnerabilities, responding to scan findings, or working within a compliance framework (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2).
Basic understanding of networking principles and a strong commitment to cybersecurity best practices.
Some exposure to IT/access administration (VPN, SSO/Okta, GitHub or cloud IAM permissions) and comfort supporting non-engineering stakeholders with access requests.
A self-starting, can-do attitude - comfortable owning a broad scope independently and communicating clearly with stakeholders across the company.

Nice To Haves

Experience operating high availability, production clusters
Experience with technologies such as GitOps(FluxCD, ArgoCD), OpenTofu, SQL Databases, secret management(Vault), cost-visibility tools (KubeCost, OpenCost), Karpenter, Couchbase.
Experience in the connected car, IoT, or cloud SaaS field.
Exposure to Elastic stack, Prometheus stack, and PagerDuty-style monitoring and incident response.
Experience managing multi-account AWS organizations (SCPs, OUs, cross-account IAM access)
Comfort using AI-assisted tools in day-to-day DevOps work. (e.g., AI coding/IaC assistants for writing and reviewing infrastructure code, or AI-enhanced monitoring for anomaly detection and faster incident triage).

Responsibilities

Manage and maintain Mojio's AWS infrastructure - EKS, RDS, VPC/networking, IAM, CloudFront, ECR, and related services - supporting a worldwide, ISO 27001-aligned production environment.
Operate and troubleshoot our Kubernetes-based platform (including Knative workloads and Helm charts), and support GitOps-based deployment workflows (e.g., Argo CD, Flux) and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions).
Own day-to-day security operations: triage and remediate vulnerabilities (CVEs, dependency and container scanning findings via tools like Snyk), apply patches, and maintain our security scanning/compliance posture (e.g., AWS Security Hub).
Manage access and identity administration — provisioning and de-provisioning AWS/VPN/Okta/GitHub access, handling employee onboarding and offboarding requests, and responding to day-to-day IT and access-request tickets from the team.
Support monitoring and alerting (Grafana, Prometheus, PagerDuty) and participate in an on-call rotation to help resolve production issues and outages.
Assist with cost optimization efforts (e.g., right-sizing, Spot Instance usage, cost visibility tooling) and infrastructure-as-code practices (Terraform).
Work with the Engineering team on making infrastructure and deployment processes simpler and more self-serve over time.
