PACSystems is trusted by leading companies across discrete and hybrid manufacturing industries to safely and reliably control critical processes. In this role, you will be the engine behind the development pipeline — designing, building, and maintaining the infrastructure, automation, and tooling that allow our engineering teams to deliver high‑quality industrial software with speed and confidence.

Our team embraces modern development practices, including AI‑assisted and spec‑driven development methodologies. You will play a central role in enabling those practices at scale. Building the pipelines, environments, and automation that make them possible. We are actively investing in these approaches and are looking for engineers who are energized by what intelligent tooling and well‑designed DevOps practices can unlock for a software organization.

You will be part of an organization led by leaders who are deeply committed to technical excellence, Agile principles, and building an environment where engineers do their best work. If you are looking for a role that is technically challenging, forward‑thinking, and built to have lasting real‑world impact, we want to hear from you.

As Senior DevOps Engineer, You Will:

• Collaborate - Champion a creative atmosphere, review and provide detailed feedback on peers' pipeline and infrastructure designs, and actively participate in Agile activities such as sprint planning and retrospectives. Engage in Hackathons, Tech Talks, and Communities of Practice with like‑minded engineers.
• Build and Own the Pipeline - Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines that support automated build, test, and deployment workflows across the PACSystems software portfolio, including client applications and real‑time system components.
• Enable AI‑Assisted Development - Partner with development teams to build the infrastructure and tooling that supports AI‑assisted and spec‑driven development workflows, ensuring that intelligent tooling integrates seamlessly into the development lifecycle.
• Automate Everything - Identify and eliminate manual processes through scripting, infrastructure‑as‑code, and test automation. Build systems that are reliable, repeatable, and scalable.
• Iterate - Continuously improve the team's development environment, tooling, and processes. Champion the adoption of new practices that improve efficiency, reliability, and developer experience.
• Tech Savvy - Stay current on emerging DevOps tooling, cloud‑native practices, AI‑enabled automation, and platform engineering trends, and actively look for ways to apply them to real problems.
• Always Curious - Ask questions, challenge assumptions, and seek to understand the full system before proposing solutions. Make learning a continuous priority.
• Team Obsessed - Engage in collaborative planning, support your teammates' productivity and growth, and hold yourself and others accountable to delivering results.

Who You Are:

You're a technology enthusiast who experiments with diverse technologies while strategically applying emerging solutions to drive organizational success. You demonstrate exceptional initiative in challenging situations, excel at identifying opportunities, embrace unfamiliar challenges, and communicate with clarity and impact.

For This Role, You Will Need:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related STEM discipline with 7+ years of relevant DevOps or software engineering experience, OR a Master's degree in a related field with 6+ years of relevant experience
• Proven experience designing and managing CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar platforms
• Expertise in Git source control
• Hands‑on experience with Microsoft Azure services, including virtual machines, storage solutions, and Azure DevOps for build and release pipeline management
• Proficiency in scripting and automation using Python, Bash, PowerShell, or similar
• Legal authorization to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future

Preferred Qualifications That Set You Apart:

• Experience supporting DevOps practices in industrial, embedded, or real‑time software environments
• Familiarity with build and packaging workflows for C++, C#, or mixed‑language software products
• Experience integrating AI‑assisted development tooling or spec‑driven workflows into CI/CD pipelines
• Hands‑on experience with infrastructure‑as‑code tools such as Terraform, ARM templates, or Bicep
• Experience with static code analysis tools (SonarQube, Fortify, Coverity)
• Container orchestration experience (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Knowledge of software signing, artifact management, and secure release processes relevant to industrial or safety‑critical software
• Demonstrated experience working within Agile or SAFe delivery frameworks
