DevOps Engineer II

Your work will directly influence the organization’s infrastructure strategy - from evaluating and selecting new tools and platforms to designing disaster recovery and capacity plans that keep systems resilient at scale. You will be expected to anticipate operational risk before it becomes an incident, drive continuous improvement in deployment velocity and system reliability, and translate infrastructure decisions into business impact for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. While DevOps Engineer I focuses on building and maintaining well-defined pipelines and infrastructure, this role owns the design decisions, standards, and technical direction that guide the broader team’s work., * Architect and drive the technical strategy for CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code practices, and deployment automation across teams

• Design scalable, resilient, and secure infrastructure solutions, including disaster recovery and capacity planning
• Lead incident response and root cause analysis for critical production issues, driving long-term remediation rather than short-term fixes
• Set and enforce standards, best practices, and documentation for infrastructure, security, and deployment processes across the DevOps function
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to DevOps Engineer I team members, including code/config reviews and skill development
• Evaluate, select, and integrate new tools, platforms, and technologies to improve reliability, security, and delivery velocity
• Partner with security teams to define and implement DevSecOps standards across pipelines and infrastructure
• Collaborate with engineering and product leadership to align infrastructure strategy with business priorities
• Drive cost optimization and efficiency initiatives across cloud infrastructure
• Serve as an escalation point and technical authority during high-severity production incidents, including on-call rotations

In this role, your ability to architect infrastructure and pipeline strategy - not just implement it - will differentiate your daily work from earlier-career DevOps roles. Your deep expertise with cloud platforms and infrastructure-as-code will enable you to design systems that scale reliably under changing demands, while your command of containerization and orchestration will guide how the broader team structures microservice deployments. Your judgment in security and observability will shape how the organization detects and prevents issues rather than simply reacting to them. Equally important are your leadership and mentorship skills, as you will be relied upon to raise the technical bar for the DevOps team and to represent the function in cross-team strategic discussions., * Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, system administration, or infrastructure automation, including experience designing infrastructure solutions rather than solely implementing predefined specifications
• Demonstrated experience architecting and implementing CI/CD pipeline strategy (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps Pipelines, GitHub Actions) across multiple teams or products
• Advanced proficiency with Linux/Unix operating systems and scripting languages such as Bash, Python, or PowerShell
• Demonstrated experience designing and provisioning cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM, or Bicep) at a system/architecture level
• Advanced experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes), including designing microservice deployment strategies
• Strong understanding of networking, security, and system monitoring concepts, with experience defining monitoring/alerting strategy rather than just responding to alerts
• Experience leading or owning incident response and root cause analysis for production systems
• US Citizenship, ability to obtain and maintain required security clearance, * Certifications such as AWS Certified DevOps Engineer - Professional, Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), or equivalent advanced-level certification
• Experience mentoring or providing technical guidance to junior DevOps or infrastructure engineers
• Experience with configuration management tools like Ansible, Puppet, or Chef at scale
• Experience with database management, optimization, and infrastructure cost optimization (FinOps)
• Experience working in Agile or Scrum environments in a technical leadership capacity
• Advanced experience with logging and monitoring platforms such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, Datadog, or Splunk, including designing observability strategy
• Experience with multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud environments
