Job description

iScale Solutions is a Managed Outsourcing and Staff Augmentation provider with operations in the Philippines, Madagascar and Singapore.

While some of our customers operate a staff augmentation setup with full control, others rely on fully outsourced teams letting us handle all deliverables. Day to day, we thrive to provide customized solutions and deeply integrate in our customers’ business processes.

Regardless of the model, we believe in recruiting the best available talent available in the market, and offer our customers great value for their money.

Who you’ll work with:

Our partner is a leading data-driven marketing tech company headquartered in New York, operating on four continents with 1,300+ employees. Our client offers CRM, customer acquisition, strategic managed services, and private data cloud solutions. Our customer powers ‘end to end’ marketing programs for some of the world’s leading brands.

As a Senior/Lead DevOps Engineer, you will drive initiatives that enhance the reliability, scalability, and efficiency of both production and development environments. You will lead major infrastructure and automation projects, improve tools and processes, and ensure the seamless deployment, monitoring, and operation of critical applications. This role includes guiding CI/CD strategy, advancing infrastructure-as-code practices, and providing operational leadership across engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide technical leadership across infrastructure and automation projects.
• Drive automation and maintenance of performance testing and pre-production environments.
• Lead containerization efforts and champion Infrastructure as Code best practices.
• Design and implement automation for engineering, deployment, and operational workflows.
• Define and execute high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR) strategies.
• Architect, optimize, and maintain CI/CD pipelines supporting multiple services and teams.
• Create, maintain, and automate runbooks to improve operational consistency and reduce toil.
• Participate in and guide on-call support, ensuring production systems remain stable and performant.

Requirements:

• 7+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, TechOps, or similar roles.
• 5+ years of experience leading technical projects or contributing as a technical lead.
• 3+ years working with containers and orchestration platforms (e.g., Kubernetes, EKS, ECS).
• Strong proficiency in shell scripting and at least one programming language such as Python or Go.
• Demonstrated ability to define project scope, requirements, and delivery milestones.
• Experience leading or collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams.
• Solid experience operating and optimizing AWS production environments.
• Strong knowledge of monitoring and observability technologies (e.g., OTEL, Prometheus, Grafana).
• Experience with at least two configuration or IaC tools, such as Puppet, Salt, Ansible, or Terraform.
• Experience implementing or managing secrets management tools (e.g. Vault, AWS Secrets Manger)
• Strong understanding of cloud security best practices and vulnerability
