As a Senior DevOps Engineer , you will provide technical leadership and architectural direction for DevOps, CI/CD, and cloud‑native engineering practices across multiple agile teams. You will partner closely with architects, engineers, security, and infrastructure teams to design scalable, secure, and highly automated delivery platforms that enable teams to ship software faster and more reliably.

This role is ideal for a hands‑on technical leader who enjoys working at both the strategic and tactical levels —setting standards, guiding teams, and occasionally rolling up their sleeves to solve complex engineering problems or lead proofs of concept.

You will also serve as a champion of DevOps and DevSecOps culture , continuously improving developer experience, platform reliability, and operational excellence.

Provide architectural oversight and technical direction for DevOps, CI/CD, and platform engineering practices across multiple scrum teams.

Partner with Application and Program Architects to align DevOps solutions with business and product strategy.

Define and evolve standards for build, deployment, infrastructure, and environment management.

• Embed security and compliance controls directly into pipelines (DevSecOps).

Cloud, Containers & Platform Engineering

• Drive adoption of containerized and cloud‑native architectures using Kubernetes‑based platforms.
• Ensure platforms meet standards for scalability, resiliency, performance, and cost efficiency.
• Guide teams on service networking, API management, load balancing, and traffic management.
• Support high availability, disaster recovery, and business continuity strategies.
• Provide Level‑3 support for complex production incidents and reliability challenges.
• Partner with operations and engineering teams to improve observability, monitoring, and alerting.
• Mentor and coach engineers on DevOps practices, tools, and architectural decision‑making.
• Promote a culture of automation, ownership, continuous improvement, and quality.
• Model strong collaboration, communication, and engineering discipline.
• Research emerging tools, technologies, and practices to improve the software delivery lifecycle.
• Build consensus and introduce cost‑effective solutions that increase delivery speed, quality, and reliability.
• Continuously optimize DevOps platforms and processes based on measurable outcomes.
