DevOps Engineer

Kiteworks helps organizations secure and govern sensitive content across their workflows, ensuring compliance and reducing risk., We're looking for a DevOps Engineer who loves solving problems, building automation, and making things run smoothly. You'll join a small, collaborative team where every day brings something new, whether it's improving pipelines, modernizing infrastructure, or experimenting with new tools.

This isn't a role where you sit in one lane. You'll work closely with developers, QA, and security teams, unblock issues fast, and help us keep things moving. If you like variety, ownership, and the chance to make a real impact, you'll fit right in.

What You'll Do

• Automate workflows to reduce manual effort and improve efficiency across build, release, and infrastructure tasks.
• Manage cloud and container environments, primarily AWS along with Kubernetes and Docker, ensuring reliability and scalability.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines to support smooth, fast releases and continuous delivery.
• Collaborate with developers, QA, and security teams to troubleshoot issues and keep projects moving.
• Contribute to modernization initiatives, exploring new tools and approaches to improve our DevOps practices.
• Maintain secure cloud environments by enforcing access controls, monitoring, and configuration management aligned with ISO 27001 and data protection requirements., * Execution - We deliver results with focus, ownership, and consistency. Our teams take initiative, solve challenges proactively, and continuously optimize how we work to create meaningful impact for our customers.
• Transparency - We communicate openly and clearly, ensuring stakeholders have the information they need to make informed decisions. We foster a culture of trust, welcome feedback, and embrace accountability in everything we do.
• Integrity - We uphold the highest standards of honesty and responsibility. Our teams act ethically, consistently honor commitments, and build trust through principled, reliable actions.

• A few years of experience (2-5 years) in DevOps or software engineering, ideally in environments where automation and infrastructure as code are key.
• Solid programming skills- Python is strongly preferred because most of our codebase uses it. Experience with other languages (e.g., Go, Bash, or similar) is welcome.

• You should be comfortable writing scripts and building tools-not just using off-the-shelf solutions.
• Ability to structure code for maintainability and scalability (object-oriented principles are a plus).

• Comfort with Linux - You'll work primarily in Linux environments, so strong command-line skills and troubleshooting ability are essential.
• Cloud platform experience - AWS is our main platform, but Azure or GCP experience is acceptable. You should understand concepts like EC2, networking, IAM, and storage.
• Familiarity with containers and CI/CD concepts - Experience with Docker and Kubernetes is important, as well as understanding how pipelines work (GitLab CI preferred).
• Mindset matters - Curiosity, adaptability, and a willingness to learn are key because we're modernizing and evolving constantly, Ability to meet Kiteworks, customer, and/or government security screening requirements for this role. These requirements include, but are not limited to, the following specialized security screenings:
