This role is responsible for creating reliable, secure, and scalable infrastructure; owning Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines and environment automation; and improving system observability, resilience, and operational excellence. The Senior DevOps Engineer will partner closely with application, data, and platform engineers to enable rapid, safe delivery of production systems and will play a key role in defining cloud standards, migration strategy, and best practices across both cloud providers. At this time, candidates who would work in the following states will not be considered for this role: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DE, DC, HI, IL, MA, ME, MI, MD, MN, NV, NJ, NY, RI, VT, and WA.

Requirements

5+ years in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or Platform Engineering roles supporting production systems.

Extensive experience with Infrastructure as Code, preferably Terraform (ARM/Bicep or CloudFormation beneficial).
Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation for modern applications or data workflows.
Strong understanding of containerization and orchestration (Docker; Kubernetes on AKS/EKS).
