Staff DevOps Engineering (w/m/d) Build & AI-Ops
As a Staff DevOps Engineer specializing in Build & AI-Ops, you will architect and optimize the engineering lifecycle, focusing on eliminating friction and enhancing developer velocity. You will design onboarding workflows, manage AI infrastructure, automate complex build pipelines, and implement continuous profiling to ensure high-performance development.
About the role
About the Role
As a Staff DevOps Engineer, you will be the architect for Developer Velocity, aiming to eliminate every second of friction in the engineering lifecycle. Your goal is to ensure that a complex, multilingual project (C++/Node.js) feels as lightweight and responsive as a modern Greenfield app. You will not simply manage servers, but will be responsible for the AI-Ops infrastructure that enables specialists and staff engineers to work at triple speed.
Responsibilities
- Environment Mastery: Design and operate a "5-minute onboarding" workflow using Docker and DevContainers, ensuring that "runs on my machine" is a reality for every new colleague.
- AI-Ops & RAG Management: Operate the team's local AI infrastructure, including Retrieval-Augmented-Generation (RAG) clusters, Cursor Skill Libraries, and individual documentation indexing that feeds the LLMs.
- The Bridge Pipeline: Automate and optimize the highly complex compile and hot-reload cycle between the OnlyOffice C++ core and the Node.js/JavaScript frontend.
- Autonomous CI/CD: Develop "intelligent" pipelines that not only report errors but also analyze logs using AI and automatically suggest (or directly apply) patches for fragile legacy build steps.
- Performance Guardrails: Implement "Continuous Profiling" in the build chain to detect 16ms frame budget violations before code even enters a Pull Request.
Qualifications
- Very good knowledge of Docker, GitHub Actions/Jenkins, and Makefile/CMake environments.
- Expertise in Python, Go, or Rust for building high-performance internal automation tools.
- Profound experience with modern web toolchains (Vite, Webpack, esbuild) and optimizing large JavaScript monorepos.
- Experience with vector databases or self-hosting LLMs (Ollama/LocalAI) is a significant plus.
- The AI Factor: You are the team's "Prompt Architect" for infrastructure. You utilize models like Claude Opus 4.6 Max and specialized DevOps agents to automate routine operational work, focusing your human intelligence on systemic optimizations and creating a seamless "flow state" for the development team.
- The Gaming Advantage: Experience in AAA game build engineering is particularly valuable. If you have managed automated pipelines for complex, cross-platform assets and codebases where "Build Time" and "Asset Cooking" are key KPIs, you bring the exact DNA needed for this high-performance office suite.
