Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept

We’re looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer who is passionate about automation, operational excellence, and building reliable, scalable infrastructure. This role blends core DevOps responsibilities with a strong emphasis on Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), helping ensure system uptime, performance, and observability across environments. The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience managing CI / CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and production operations, with a mindset oriented toward reducing toil and driving continuous improvement.

What will you do?

DevOps Engineering

  • Build, maintain, and improve CI / CD pipelines using GitLab CI / CD or similar tools.
  • Automate infrastructure provisioning, deployment, and maintenance using Terraform, Ansible, or related technologies.
  • Collaborate with developers and QA to create reliable deployment paths from local dev to production.
  • Implement infrastructure-as-code practices across environments (e.g., AWS, Kubernetes, bare-metal).

Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)

  • Design and implement monitoring, alerting, and observability systems to maintain high availability and performance.
  • Respond to incidents, lead root cause analysis, and implement preventive measures.
  • Establish and evolve SLOs / SLIs to ensure measurable system reliability.
  • Participate in on-call rotation and help build automation to reduce the need for human intervention.
  • Drive capacity planning, performance tuning, and cost optimization initiatives.
  • System Operations

  • Administer Linux (Ubuntu / Debian) and Windows-based infrastructure.
  • Manage self-hosted GitLab instances and ensure secure, performant operation.
  • Implement and enforce security best practices across infrastructure (IAM, RBAC, least privilege, etc.).
  • Support both containerized and virtualized workloads across environments.
  • Requirements

    Capabilities that will enable your success

  • 5+ years in DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineering roles.
  • Hands-on experience and proficiency with AWS services (EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, IAM, etc.) and infrastructure automation (Terraform, Ansible, or similar).
  • Experience deploying and managing infrastructure using Terraform and / or Ansible.
  • Solid knowledge of Linux system administration.
  • Strong skills in Windows system administration environments.
  • Proven experience managing and automating GitLab, including CI / CD pipelines.
  • Proficiency in at least one programming or scripting language (Python, Bash, etc.).
  • Experience implementing monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions (CloudWatch, Datadog, CloudTrail).
  • Solid understanding of networking, security best practices, and high-availability system design.
  • Familiarity with version control systems (Git) and GitLab workflows.
  • Strong troubleshooting and incident response skills, with a focus on automation and root cause analysis.
  • Ability to travel up to 20%.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • AWS certification or equivalent practical experience.
  • Knowledge of cloud cost optimization and efficiency practices.
  • Experience with self-hosted Gitlab instances and CI / CD pipelines.
  • Clearance Requirements

  • Applicants must be a U.S. Citizen and willing and eligible to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance at the Secret or Top-Secret level. Existing clearance is preferred.
