DevOps Engineer

About The Role

We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer who wants to make things run smoother, faster, and smarter. Someone who loves clean automation, resilient systems, and the feeling of pushing a deployment knowing it just works. You’ll join our Software Innovation team, working directly inside a product team to help us hit DORA-level excellence — faster delivery, higher reliability, fewer surprises. You’ll help modernize legacy systems still running on manual processes, and shape how our cloud-native platform scales and evolves.

Key Responsibilities

• Take charge of production and development environments both older, self-hosted systems and modern cloud setups to drive automation and reliability.
• Turn complex manual steps into simple, repeatable, automated flows and CI/CD pipelines to get code to production quickly and safely.
• Own high-impact data and system changes in production, implementing automation and guardrails to make workflows predictable and low-risk.
• Integrate practical security improvements into tooling and workflows, ensuring deployment scripts are safe and removing risky manual steps.
• Work closely with global teams to handle urgent releases and bake SOC2 compliance practices directly into automation and process design.

• Solid experience in DevOps, SRE, or Systems Engineering, ideally across different types of environments (7years+).
• Deep experience with cloud environments, particularly Azure, including the design and management of scalable, cloud-native infrastructure.
• Strong background in automation and CI/CD using tools like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps.
• Comfortable scripting in Python, Bash, or PowerShell to reduce manual toil and improve system maintainability.
• Experience managing databases in production, including schema updates, data migrations, and observability tooling.
• Experience in .NET/C# and web development (React, Angular) to collaborate more closely with our engineering teams is a plus.
