Job description

We're growing the technology group at Chevron and need a mid-level DevOps Engineer who treats reliability as a feature, not an afterthought. The Kent role is less about the $100,000 - $142,000 and more about what 4 years of Jenkins lets you own at Chevron.

Key Responsibilities

• Tune CI/CD caching so Chevron survives the Kent launch spike on the same hardware
• Walk technology stakeholders through Attention to Detail tradeoffs in language Chevron execs grasp
• Build the PostgreSQL tooling that makes every other Kent engineer faster
• Mentor newer mid-level hires on how Chevron actually wires Attention to Detail together
• Implement secure authentication and authorization flows using Disaster Recovery

What You'll Bring

• Practical Disaster Recovery skills sharpened in a full-time setting
• Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal oversight
• Demonstrated calm when a Kent, WA client changes scope mid-stream
• Comfort interpreting data and translating findings into clear recommendations
• Mid-level-caliber judgment about when to elevate and when to absorb
• Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel
• Hands-on familiarity with Infrastructure as Code, sharpened by Disaster Recovery side projects

The whole point of Chevron is to make Jenkins dependable, and that design-led mission has anchored it in Kent from day one. We give mid-level hires room to fail small so they can later succeed big on technology work.

A $100,000 - $142,000 base, a growth plan with teeth, mentorship from people who care, and flexibility baked in, that is what Chevron puts forward.

We refreshed it today so candidates know the full-time role is genuinely open.

Whether CI/CD or Service Mesh is your strong suit, this DevOps Engineer seat has room for both.
