Job description

We don't need a DevOps Engineer who knows everything about Process Improvement; we need one curious enough to find out what they don't. Lay it bare: contract DevOps Engineer, $93,000 - $134,000, 5 years of Prometheus, and a seat where Danaher decisions get shaped.

Key Responsibilities

• Walk technology stakeholders through CKA Certification tradeoffs in language Danaher execs grasp
• Build the scrappy-but-steady Process Improvement feature that wins back the CO accounts Danaher lost
• Document the CloudFormation system so the next mid-level engineer onboards in days, not weeks
• Decode the undocumented Apache Kafka service nobody at Danaher remembers writing
• Catch the Serverless race conditions that only surface under Thornton peak traffic
• Refine and maintain microservices that support Danaher customers in Thornton, CO
• Pair with technology analysts so Danaher's Process Improvement models match real behavior

What You'll Bring

• Experience supporting cross-functional teams in a mid-level capacity
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Calm under the trust-based chaos a mid-level role tends to generate
• The kind of ownership that treats the company's money like your own

The results-oriented people at Danaher have spent years proving that world-class CKA Certification can absolutely come out of Thornton. We give mid-level hires room to fail small so they can later succeed big on technology work.

• You get $93,000 - $134,000, a robust benefits suite, and hands‑on mentorship aimed at making you a stronger technology professional.
