This model supports real-time problem-solving, stronger relationships, and the kind of precision that drives great outcomes.Job Summary\nYour Career:\nWe're looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer with a strong Developer Experience (DevEx) mindset, someone who genuinely enjoys making developers more productive by building and improving the tools, infrastructure, automation, and workflows they use every day.\nYou will work across CI/CD, developer tooling, automation, infrastructure, observability and productivity. Your primary focus will be making development and delivery faster, simpler, more reliable, and more cost-effective.\nWe need someone who can independently identify developer pain points, proactively discover opportunities for improvement, and turn them into scalable engineering solutions. You will be expected to measure the impact of your work and continuously improve critical metrics such as CI feedback time, pipeline reliability, deployment time, infrastructure cost, and overall developer productivity.\nThis role is a perfect fit for someone who thinks far beyond just \"keeping the infrastructure running\" and is excited about revolutionizing the entire engineering experience.\nYour Impact:\nYou will tackle high-impact engineering challenges across our platform. Representative areas you will own and work on include:\nOptimize CI/CD Pipeline Velocity & Stability\nImprove CI Stability: Leverage AI to automatically detect recurring test failures, dynamically disable problematic tests, and open Jira tickets for follow-up.\nAutomate Workflows: Utilize AI to automate merge conflict resolutions and keep the merge train moving smoothly.\nAccelerate CI Velocity: Architect workflows to parallelize work both across jobs and within jobs. Introduce highly effective caching strategies and local Artifactory mirrors to drastically reduce build and dependency-fetch times.\nOptimize CD: Reduce container image sizes and accelerate deployment times. Partner with QA to introduce and streamline automated regression testing against tenants.\nDrive Repository Security & Maintenance\nImprove Security Posture: Automate the identification and remediation of Go and Python dependencies with known CVEs.\nAutomate Maintenance: Design systems to automatically handle Go and Python version upgrades across the codebase.\nEnsure Performance: Automate performance testing to proactively detect and alert on performance regressions before they hit production.\nCloud Infrastructure & Cost Engineering\nReduce Infrastructure Costs: Identify and implement innovative opportunities to reduce overall infrastructure and resource consumption.\nResource Efficiency: Introduce mechanisms to make our \"slim tenants\" even more resource-efficient for development and testing.\nSmart Observability: Re-architect our logging strategy by streaming GCP logs to more cost-effective sinks instead of relying exclusively on Cloud Logging.\n IaC Governance: Act as a gatekeeper for infrastructure quality by reviewing Terraform Merge Requests (MRs) for correctness, efficiency, maintainability, and strict adherence to engineering standards.\nQualifications\nYour Experience:\n5+ years of hands-on experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or SRE roles, preferably within data-heavy or high-scale environments.\nThe DevEx Mindset: A genuine passion for your job and a drive to build tools that make other engineers happier and more productive.\nCoding & Automation: Strong programming skills in Python and Go. You treat infrastructure and automation as software engineering disciplines.\n Cloud & IaC Mastery: Deep expertise in GCP (Google Cloud Platform) or AWS and advanced proficiency in Terraform.\nCI/CD & Containers: Extensive experience building highly optimized CI/CD pipelines and optimizing Docker/Kubernetes deployments.\nForward-Thinking: An interest in or experience with leveraging AI tools to solve traditional operational bottlenecks.\nOur Commitment\nWe’re trailblazers that dream big, take risks, and challenge cybersecurity’s status quo. It’s simple: we can’t accomplish our mission without diverse teams innovating, together.\nWe are committed to providing reasonable accommodations for all qualified individuals with a disability.
