Senior DevOps Engineer

About the role

A company is looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to build and operate the cloud infrastructure and delivery systems behind its products. This is a hands-on role covering technical design, implementation and production operations, working with software engineering and security teams to improve reliability, strengthen infrastructure security and turn common deployment and operational tasks into self-service.

Key responsibilities

• Design, build and maintain cloud infrastructure across development, staging and production using infrastructure as code.
• Improve CI/CD pipelines so teams can test, deploy and roll back changes safely and consistently.
• Operate containerized workloads and improve the reliability, scalability and cost efficiency of the platforms they run on.
• Build monitoring and alerting with metrics, logs and traces, and work with service owners on service-level objectives.
• Take part in the on-call rotation, coordinate incident response and drive follow-up actions from blameless postmortems.
• Implement security controls for identity and access management, secrets, vulnerability management and software delivery.
• Automate recurring operational tasks and build self-service tooling for engineering teams.
• Lead infrastructure initiatives from design through rollout, document decisions and runbooks, and mentor other engineers.

Required profile

• Typically 5+ years of experience in DevOps, site reliability engineering, platform engineering or a related role, with hands-on ownership of production systems.
• Production experience with at least one major cloud provider such as AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.
• Ability to explain technical trade-offs in English, collaborate across teams and take ownership of complex work.

Required skills

• Infrastructure as code with Terraform, OpenTofu or an equivalent tool.
• CI/CD pipeline design, including automated testing, deployment controls and rollback strategies.
• Docker and Kubernetes or an equivalent container orchestration platform in production.
• Strong Linux troubleshooting and networking fundamentals (DNS, TLS, load balancing).
• At least one scripting or programming language such as Python, Go or Bash.
• Preferred: GitOps (Argo CD or Flux), internal developer platforms, disaster recovery and backup testing, and infrastructure security in regulated environments.
