Senior DevOps Engineer, Infrastructure & Reliability

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Florida.

📋 Description

• Develop scalable Infrastructure-as-Code methodologies utilizing tools such as Terraform to standardize cloud provisioning and minimize configuration drift.

• Take charge of and enhance the Kubernetes platform (EKS or self-managed), ensuring that workloads are secure, scalable, and resilient by default.

• Streamline CI/CD pipelines to increase deployment frequency, reduce lead times, and boost confidence in releases.

• Design and implement secure networking, IAM, and secrets management protocols across different environments.

• Enhance observability by refining metrics, logs, and tracing utilizing tools like DataDog.

• Increase cloud cost efficiency through rightsizing, autoscaling strategies, and architectural enhancements.

• Establish disaster recovery frameworks, backup strategies, and multi-region resilience initiatives.

• Transform brittle or manually managed infrastructure into automated, testable, and reproducible systems.

• Introduce new infrastructure tools or architectural changes and promote adoption through documentation, workshops, and hands-on support.

• Collaborate with engineering teams to remove friction in CI/CD, deployments, and cloud environments.

• Clearly communicate technical trade-offs to engineering and product stakeholders, balancing speed with safety.

⛳️ Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering.

• Proven track record in designing and managing production Kubernetes environments at scale.

• Extensive hands-on knowledge of AWS infrastructure and cloud networking.

• Strong experience in building and maintaining Terraform modules across extensive cloud environments.

• Demonstrated ownership of CI/CD systems with measurable improvements in DORA metrics.

• Experience in leading incident response initiatives and achieving meaningful postmortem results.

• Solid understanding of distributed systems, event-driven architectures (Kafka), and database performance (PostgreSQL).
