Job summary

iManage is seeking a Software Engineer (DevOps) to scale our Kubernetes-based cloud platform, drive large migrations, and set observability and GitOps direction. You will help modernize CI/CD and champion reliability across teams, working with Azure/AKS in a fast-moving SaaS environment.

The role emphasizes mentoring engineers, reducing toil, and delivering resilient, cost-effective platforms while collaborating across Backend/Platform Engineering and product teams.

Qualifications

• 5–8 years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering roles, with a track record of leading technical initiatives independently.
• Experience writing design documents and postmortems, and refactoring application code when needed.
• Built automation to reduce the operational burden of a product, or developed internal, self-service tooling for other engineers.
• Hands‑on experience with Kubernetes in production, including cluster operations, workload migrations, and troubleshooting.
• Practical experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform preferred) and GitOps-based continuous delivery (ArgoCD or similar).
• Experience building or maintaining CI/CD pipelines, including GitHub Actions or comparable tools.
• Ability to champion DevOps best practices, including reliability engineering concepts (SLOs, SLAs, and soon), and apply them effectively across teams.
• Experience working in a public cloud environment (Azure and AKS strongly preferred).
• A passion for mentoring other engineers and working collaboratively with other teams.

Responsibilities

• Leading the design and execution of large-scale development infrastructure, supporting dozens of engineering teams.
• Eliminating toil through automation and software development, and mentoring other engineers in doing the same.
• Owning infrastructure-as-code and GitOps practices — Terraform, Helm, and ArgoCD — that provision and manage our cloud environments.
• Modernizing CI/CD pipelines, including our transition from Jenkins to GitHub Actions, and defining thebranch protection, environment promotion, and rollback standards used across engineering.
• Partnering cross-functionally with application teams, SRE, and other internal stakeholders to unblock delivery and promote standardization.
• Supporting a modern, cloud-native platform that is resilient, cost-effective, and secure by default.
• Serving as an escalation point for pipeline and platform triage, supporting engineering teams workingworldwide.
