Job description

Why Blue Coding?

At Blue Coding, we specialize in hiring excellent developers and amazing people from all over Latin America and other parts of the world. For the past 11 years, we’ve helped cutting-edge companies in the United States and Canada build great development teams and develop great products. Large multinationals, digital agencies, Saas providers, and software consulting firms are just a few of our clients. Our team of over 150 engineers, project managers, QA, UX/UI designers, and many more is distributed in more than 10 countries across the Americas. We are a fully remote company working with a wide array of technologies, and we have expertise in every stage of the software development process.

Our team is highly connected, united, and culturally diverse, and our collaborators are involved in many initiatives around the world, from wildlife preservation to volunteering at local charities. We stand for honesty, fairness, respect, efficiency, hard work, and cooperation.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to work with one of our US clients, a corporation that, through its subsidiaries, provides life insurance protection targeted to the middle American market. You will help modernize their infrastructure by moving existing on-premises systems to a cloud-native, serverless setup on AWS, and you'll work closely with their development teams to automate everything from CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code to deployments across every environment and the monitoring that keeps it all running. Experience with MLOps or DataOps is a strong plus.

Communication and availability are extremely important in this role. The client's team counts on someone who responds quickly, keeps people in the loop without being asked, and is reachable and present during their working hours.

If you are fully fluent in English, proactive, enjoy solving problems, and have strong attention to detail, this role could be a great fit for you! Our jobs are fully remote, and you will be integrated directly into the client's team, gaining valuable experience and forming meaningful connections.
