Job Description
Position Summary
We are seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to drive infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD pipeline engineering across our cloud environments. This role owns the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of Terraform-managed infrastructure and the automated build/test/deploy pipelines that ship it, working closely with development and platform teams to increase deployment velocity, reliability, and security. The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineer who can independently design and deliver infrastructure and pipeline solutions with minimal oversight.
Key Responsibilities
Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
Design, build, and maintain modular, reusable Terraform code for provisioning and managing cloud infrastructure across dev, staging, and production environments.
Implement and enforce Terraform state management, workspace strategy, and module versioning to support multiple teams safely.
Establish and follow IaC best practices: code review standards, automated plan/apply workflows, drift detection, and policy-as-code guardrails.
Identify and remediate technical debt in existing infrastructure code to improve maintainability, security, and cost efficiency.
Collaborate with architecture and security teams to ensure infrastructure design aligns with security baselines and compliance requirements.
CI/CD Pipeline Engineering
Design, build, and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines that automate build, test, security scanning, and deployment of applications and infrastructure changes.
Standardize pipeline patterns across teams/repositories to reduce duplication and increase deployment reliability and speed.
Implement deployment safety mechanisms: automated testing gates, canary/blue-green deployments, rollback automation, and release approvals.
Partner with development teams to identify and remove build/deploy friction, shortening lead time from commit to production.
Monitor pipeline health and performance, proactively resolving bottlenecks and failures.
General Engineering & Operations
Participate in on-call rotation and incident response for infrastructure and deployment-related issues; contribute to blameless postmortems and follow-through on action items.
Document infrastructure designs, pipeline architectures, and operational runbooks for team use.
Mentor junior engineers on Terraform and CI/CD best practices as opportunities arise.
