About The Position

Intelex is hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer for a hands-on senior individual contributor role building and evolving cloud platforms that support business-critical environmental, health, safety, and quality solutions. The engineer will influence how teams build, deploy, observe, secure, and operate software at scale, with work spanning AWS and Azure, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, observability, security, and reliability. The role partners with engineering, SRE, security, data, architecture, and FinOps stakeholders to improve deployment velocity, platform resilience, operational efficiency, and safe software delivery. The engineer will design and evolve internal developer platforms, paved paths, reusable Terraform modules, deployment patterns, golden pipelines, and self-service capabilities. They will operate and improve production environments across AWS and Azure, including Kubernetes workloads on EKS and AKS; build secure and repeatable CI/CD workflows; and strengthen monitoring, incident response, disaster recovery, and operational readiness. The role also includes troubleshooting production issues, root-cause analysis, reducing operational toil, mentoring engineers, participating in design reviews, and establishing reusable engineering standards. This is a remote role based in Brazil within a distributed engineering environment. It requires meaningful overlap with the core engineering team and participation in scheduled on-call rotations when required.

Requirements

Significant hands-on experience in DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering, Cloud Engineering, or a related discipline, including ownership of highly available production environments; approximately 8 or more years is a helpful benchmark.
Strong production experience with AWS and/or Azure, including cloud networking, identity and access management, secrets, certificates, security, scalability, and resilient architecture.
Strong experience with Terraform and infrastructure as code, including reusable modules, environment provisioning, remote state, CI/CD integration, automated validation, security controls, and drift management.
Production experience with CI/CD, containers, and Kubernetes, using technologies such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Docker, EKS, AKS, Helm, Argo CD, Flux, or comparable platforms.
Strong automation and operational engineering capabilities, including scripting with Python, Bash, PowerShell, or similar languages.
Experience with observability platforms such as New Relic, Datadog, Prometheus/Grafana, or equivalent.
Ability to take ownership of complex technical problems and troubleshoot across applications, infrastructure, networking, deployment pipelines, and cloud services.
Ability to balance reliability, security, developer experience, scalability, and cost in engineering decisions.
Clear English communication and effective collaboration in distributed, cross-functional teams.
Willingness to share knowledge, mentor other engineers, document solutions, and help establish technical standards.
