Job summary

NinjaOne is seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to own release pipelines and IaC across AWS, Azure, and GCP. You will design modular Terraform code, manage remote state, and drive continuous delivery with Kubernetes-as-runtime in a fast-growing cloud service.

Apply your expertise to secure, scalable deployments and partner with Dev, QA, Security, and IT to keep releases fast and safe. Hybrid remote option available for US-based candidates.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in a cloud-based DevOps environment with AWS expertise and a strong emphasis on release engineering, deployment automation, and IaC.
• Hands-on production experience with Azure and/or GCP in addition to AWS; multi-cloud experience preferred.
• 4+ years of production Terraform: modules, remote state management, workspaces, provider version management, and CI/CD integration.
• Experience with Kubernetes (or ECS) and deployment tooling such as Helm and Kustomize, including provisioning clusters via Terraform.
• Terraform in multi‑team environments: state design, module registries, versioning policy, and access control.
• Deep experience designing and operating continuous delivery pipelines with progressive rollout and automated rollback.
• Experience helping teams adopt IaC through documentation, golden‑path templates, and migrations.
• Strong cloud operations skills focused on scalability, reliability, and maintainability of cloud‑native apps and Terraform‑managed infra.
• Familiarity with Jira/Confluence and Git/Bitbucket for both application code and IaC.
• 5+ years on Unix-like systems (Linux, macOS, BSD variants).
• 4+ years scripting in Shell, Go, Python, Perl, or Tcl/Tk for tooling and wrappers.
• 4+ years of production monitoring, alerting, and deployment observability; managing change and drift.

Responsibilities

• Build and improve CI/CD pipelines with emphasis on CD: artifact deployment, environment promotion, gating, and automated rollback using Terraform runs and policy checks.
• Implement deployment strategies: blue/green, canary, rolling with automated health checks and rollback as code.
• Automate release management: orchestration across services and regions, scheduling, change tracking, and feature-flag driven rollout.
• Write and maintain Terraform: reusable modules, remote state, workspaces, and environment strategies for self-serve infra changes.
• Support cloud-agnostic IaC foundation: secure infra in AWS today and shape provider-agnostic patterns for Azure and GCP; Kubernetes as runtime.
• Add governance: policy-as-code, security and cost checks (e.g., Sentinel/OPA, Checkov) into the Terraform pipeline.
• Enable other teams: migrate infra to Terraform and provide golden-path templates and docs for IaC adoption.
• Monitor delivery: watch pipelines, release health, and plan/apply activity; act as escalation for production support.
