About The Position

As an Ecolab Senior DevOps Engineer, you will be involved in the design, execution and operation of the build, release, infrastructure, observability, and runtime engineering practices that enable product teams to ship and operate secure, scalable, and reliable digital solutions. This role is not limited to infrastructure automation; it also requires a strong full-stack engineering flavor, with the ability to understand how frontend, backend, and data services come together in Linux embedded systems. You will work closely with software engineers, team Leads, architects, and platform teams to ensure systems are deployable, observable, supportable, and cost-aware. You will participate in CI/CD design, environment standardization, release automation, platform reliability, cloud-native deployment practices, and engineering enablement across the SDLC. The ideal candidate brings experience in DevOps, cloud platforms, automation, platform engineering, containerization, release engineering, observability, along with practical understanding of application architecture, full-stack delivery patterns, and production support expectations.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
5+ years of experience in DevOps, platform engineering, or site reliability engineering or other IT disciplines
Demonstrated ability to work closely with software engineers, architects, and Team Leads to enable fast, secure, and maintainable delivery
Proven ability to reduce operational delays, improve engineering productivity, and standardize delivery through automation and platform improvements
Strong communication and technical skills

Nice To Haves

4+ years experience building and operating CI/CD pipelines, containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes), infrastructure automation (Python, Bash), and release engineering frameworks
4+ years experience with CI/CD tools. Azure DevOps, GitHub, GitHub Actions, Docker, Kubernetes / AKS, Azure Container Registry, Azure Functions, Azure Container Apps, or equivalent DevOps and cloud platforms
2+ years demonstratable experience working with SAST / DAST tools
Experience with enterprise-scale DevOps transformations
Strong understanding of networking, security, and system architecture
Experience with SBOM for embedded (C/C++)
Familiarity with Agile/Scrum methodologies
Knowledge of secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC)
Experience with Linux embedded systems or IoT environments
Certifications (e.g., Azure DevOps Engineer, AWS DevOps Engineer, Kubernetes)

Responsibilities

Participate in the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, environment strategies, and release automation for digital and connected devices.
Build and operate cloud-native infrastructure and runtime platforms that support backend services, APIs, UI applications, and integrations.
Partner with engineering teams to improve deployment, testability, scalability, observability, and operational resilience across the full product stack
Design and maintain infrastructure-as-code, environment provisioning, secrets management, access control, and deployment consistency across development, test, and production environments
Support delivery of containerized services, microservices, and event-driven systems.
Contribute to architecture and delivery discussions by bringing a strong understanding of Embedded Linux, runtime dependencies, and full-stack production patterns
Implement and optimize observability using logs, traces, metrics, distributed tracing, dashboards, alerts, and cost / capacity signals
Collaborate with security, architecture, and platform teams to ensure solutions meet requirements for security, reliability, compliance, supportability, and scale
