Job description

Our client is seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to join its Information Services team during a significant period of cloud modernization. The organization is currently progressing through a large-scale migration to Google Cloud Platform (GCP), creating an opportunity for an experienced DevOps professional to help shape its future cloud and infrastructure environment.

This is a hands-on senior engineering role for someone who brings strong technical depth while also serving as a trusted resource to the broader team. The ideal candidate will be comfortable building and improving cloud infrastructure, automating processes, troubleshooting complex production issues, reviewing technical work, and mentoring other engineers.

What You’ll Do

  • Build, maintain, and improve cloud infrastructure and DevOps processes
  • Support the organization’s ongoing migration and modernization within Google Cloud Platform
  • Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform
  • Build, manage, and troubleshoot CI/CD pipelines, including Azure DevOps
  • Develop automation and scripting solutions using Python, PowerShell, Bash, or similar technologies
  • Troubleshoot complex production and infrastructure issues and perform root-cause analysis
  • Help improve monitoring, observability, reliability, and operational processes
  • Review technical work and help establish engineering standards and best practices
  • Mentor junior and mid-level engineers and promote knowledge sharing across the team
  • Improve technical documentation and reduce reliance on tribal knowledge
  • Partner cross-functionally with Security, Infrastructure, Development, Product, and other technology teams
  • Evaluate existing processes and recommend practical opportunities for modernization and automation
  • Work effectively within a regulated environment where security, controls, approvals, and thoughtful change management are important

Requirements

  • Strong hands-on experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, Platform Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, or a similar role
  • Strong experience with a major cloud platform such as GCP, AWS, or Azure
  • Hands-on experience with Terraform and Infrastructure as Code
  • Experience building, maintaining, and troubleshooting CI/CD pipelines
  • Strong scripting and automation experience using Python, PowerShell, Bash, or similar languages
  • Experience troubleshooting complex production environments and performing root-cause analysis
  • Understanding of cloud networking, infrastructure, security, and operational best practices
  • Ability to work through unfamiliar systems and environments where documentation may be incomplete
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts to both technical and nontechnical stakeholders
  • Experience mentoring engineers, reviewing technical work, or serving as a senior technical resource
  • Ability to balance modernization with the processes and controls required within an established organization

Preferred Experience

  • Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform
  • Experience with GCP technologies such as VPC, Compute Engine, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, Cloud SQL, AlloyDB, BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Cloud Identity, Secret Manager, and Certificate Authority
  • Experience with Azure DevOps
  • Monitoring and observability experience with Datadog or similar platforms
  • Experience with REST APIs, web services, SQL, and integration technologies
  • Familiarity with MuleSoft
  • Understanding of ITIL change, release, and problem-management practices
  • Experience using AI development tools such as GitHub Copilot, Claude, or Gemini
  • Experience working within healthcare, insurance, financial services, or another regulated industry

About the company

The strongest candidate will bring more than a list of technologies. We are looking for someone who understands the systems they have built and can speak in depth about their architecture decisions, troubleshooting approach, automation strategies, and personal technical ownership.

You should be comfortable joining an established organization, learning its existing environment, and identifying opportunities to modernize it thoughtfully. Success in this role requires someone who can build consensus, influence technical direction, mentor others, and introduce improvements without taking a “move fast and break things” approach.

This is an opportunity to join an organization in the middle of a meaningful technology transformation and have a direct impact on how its cloud and DevOps capabilities evolve.
