Senior DevOps Engineer

About the role

This role focuses on the operation, scaling, and security of production systems for a company that provides identity solutions. The work involves managing cloud-native infrastructure, primarily with Kubernetes, and using Infrastructure as Code principles. A key aspect is ensuring reliability, observability, and automation across all environments.

The Senior DevOps Engineer will be responsible for building and maintaining Terraform and Helm Charts to ensure consistency. This includes developing fast and secure CI/CD pipelines to streamline the deployment process. The role also involves leading incident response, conducting post-incident learning, and implementing durable fixes.

Success in this position means improving monitoring and alerting systems to reduce noise and enhance signal detection, thereby minimizing on-call burnout. It also requires collaborating with security teams to implement controls that meet audit requirements without hindering development velocity, and continuously improving the developer experience through automation and documentation.

The salary for this position ranges from $98,000 to $162,000 annually.

Skills that matter here

• Kubernetes: This role requires hands-on experience operating Kubernetes in a production environment, not just setting it up.

• Terraform: The engineer will build and maintain Terraform configurations to ensure consistent and repeatable infrastructure.
• Helm Charts: This position involves building and maintaining Helm Charts to manage applications on Kubernetes.
• CI/CD: The role includes implementing and maintaining scalable CI/CD pipelines that are fast, secure, and developer-friendly.
• Production Debugging: Strong production debugging skills are necessary to resolve issues and ensure system stability.

Who this role suits

• Someone with at least seven years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering.
• A person who is comfortable with a weekly 24x7 on-call rotation and can respond promptly to incidents.
• An individual who prioritizes reliability, observability, and automation in cloud-native infrastructure.
• A professional who treats operational pain points as bugs and seeks to improve developer experience through tooling.

From the employer

What You’ll Own & Drive

• Production Kubernetes: Operate, scale, and evolve cloud-native infrastructure with a strong bias toward reliability, observability, and automation.
• Infrastructure as Code: Build and maintain Terraform and Helm Charts with real depth, driving consistency and repeatability across environments.
• CI/CD at Scale: Implement and maintain pipelines that are fast, secure, and developer-friendly, shortening the path from merge to deploy.
• Incident Response & Root Cause: Lead incidents when they hit, run blameless post-incident learning, and ship the durable fix - not just the patch.
• Observability That Earns Trust: Improve monitoring and alerting to cut noise, surface real signal, and reduce on-call burnout.
• Pragmatic Security & Compliance: Partner with security to implement controls that hold up to audit without crippling velocity, keeping secrets management, access controls, and network boundaries sane and defensible.
• Developer Experience: Treat operational pain as a bug. Automate, document, and pave the road for the engineers shipping on top of your platform.
• On-Call Ownership: Participate in the team’s weekly 24x7 rotation (handoff Mondays ~11am PT). Respond promptly, escalate cleanly, and own customer-impacting issues through to resolution.

Your Background

• 7+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering roles.
• Strong hands-on experience operating Kubernetes in production - not just standing it up.
