Summary: The Senior DevOps Engineer is a senior technical contributor responsible for delivering and governing development-stage DevOps build work for internal-use software and platform components. This role involves designing automation, maintaining CI/CD pipelines, developing infrastructure-as-code, and ensuring release readiness through testing evidence and technical artifacts. The position requires mentoring mid-level engineers and coordinating with Product/Architecture teams on implementation decisions. The role is fully remote and requires extensive experience in DevOps and related technologies.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement development-stage automation and platform components (coding/configuration) tied to approved scope and milestones.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows; create reusable templates and standards that support scalable delivery.
  • Develop infrastructure-as-code required for new/enhanced application functionality (e.g., environment provisioning, secrets/configuration patterns) and support initial environment validation.
  • Establish release quality gates (code review, static checks, initial test evidence) and provide go-live readiness sign-off for defined releases.
  • Produce and maintain technical artifacts (ADRs, design notes, runbooks for initial release) and ensure traceability between tasks, code changes, and deliverables.
  • Mentor mid-level engineers and coordinate with Product/Architecture on implementation decisions.

Key Skills:

  • 7+ years of experience in DevOps / Platform Engineering / SRE with hands-on build delivery.
  • Strong proficiency with CI/CD tooling and workflow automation.
  • Experience authoring and reviewing infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation, Bicep) and configuration management.
  • Proficiency in at least one scripting/programming language used for automation (e.g., Python, Bash, PowerShell).
  • Experience implementing secure deployment patterns (secrets management, least privilege, auditability).
  • Demonstrated ability to produce technical documentation and delivery artifacts suitable for audit/traceability.
