Job Description

We are hiring a Staff DevOps Engineer to help evolve our DevOps capabilities into a scalable, secure, and developer-friendly platform. This role is central to modernizing CI/CD, standardizing deployment patterns, and enabling reliable software delivery across a diverse portfolio of products and hybrid environments.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role. You will design and build shared DevOps capabilities, influence standards across teams, and partner closely with Engineering, Security, and Operations to drive an incremental, execution-focused DevOps transformation that balances legacy constraints with modern best practices.

 

What You’ll Do

DevOps Platform & CI/CD Leadership

  • Design, build, and evolve a shared DevOps platform, treating CI/CD, runners, and automation as basic services.
  • Own and advance our GitLab CI/CD ecosystem, including group-level pipelines, reusable templates, runner strategy, and execution environments.
  • Establish standardized CI/CD patterns that improve reliability, security, and developer experience while allowing flexibility where needed.

Automation, Infrastructure & Cloud

  • Design, provision, and operate cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (e.g., CloudFormation).
  • Automate operational workflows to reduce manual effort, operational friction, and deployment risk.
  • Design secure networking and infrastructure patterns aligned with industry best practices.
  • Identify opportunities for performance improvements, scalability, and cost optimization improvements.

Quality, Security & Reliability

  • Integrate automated quality and security checks into CI/CD pipelines to enable consistent enforcement of standards.
  • Partner with Security to deliver secure-by-default pipelines with minimal developer friction.
  • Ensure pipelines and deployed systems are observable through logs, metrics, alerts, and deployment health signals.
  • Act as an escalation point for complex issues across systems, networks, and infrastructure across hybrid and AWS cloud environments.

Cross-Team Influence & Enablement

  • Serve as a Staff-level technical leader, influencing DevOps standards and architectural direction across teams without direct authority.
  • Partner with Engineering Managers, Architects, and Operations to evolve DevOps practices incrementally.
  • Lead adoption of standardized DevOps practices across legacy and modern services without disrupting customers.
  • Create documentation, reference implementations, and enablement materials to support adoption.
  • Mentor engineers and help raise overall DevOps maturity across the organization.

 

What You’ll Need

Experience & Technical Skills

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science / software engineering or equivalent degree and 6+ years of experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, with demonstrated impact at scale.
  • Advanced knowledge of Linux and/or cloud computing platforms (AWS preferred) is required.
  • Identifies and provides recommendations for enhancing performance, assisting in implementation, and performing infrastructure cost analysis and optimization.
  • Hands-on experience designing and operating CI/CD platforms at scale, preferably with GitLab CI/CD.
  • Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code and automated environment provisioning.
  • Proficiency in scripting and automation (Python, Go, and/or Shell required).
  • Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration platforms (ECS, EKS or Kubernetes).
  • Proven ability to design, analyze, and troubleshoot large-scale, distributed systems.
