Staff DevOps Engineer

We are looking for an experienced DevOps/SRE Engineer to join our team and take the lead in establishing consistent infrastructure practices across all our products.

• Collaborate with Principal and Lead Engineers to define and implement company-wide infrastructure architecture.

• Lead organization-level strategic infrastructure projects and supervise the work of other members of a cross-functional team.

• Develop long-term strategies to evolve from a centralized SRE model to an enablement model, equipping teams with tools, processes, and guidelines for self-service infrastructure.

• Define architecture for scalable infrastructure using AWS, Terraform, and modern cloud technologies.

• Enforce organizational policies for access management, RBAC, and security best practices.

• Define and optimize network architectures (public/private VPCs, DNS, load balancing, routing) across multiple environments.

• Demonstrated leadership in mentoring and guiding DevOps or SRE engineers.

• Solid understanding of DevOps and DevSecOps practices, experience in designing, implementing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.

• Expertise in managing cloud networking (VPC, subnets, load balancers, routing) and access control (IAM, RBAC, key management).

• Proven ability to architect and implement scalable infrastructure across multiple teams/products.

• Experience with containerization and orchestration tools such as Docker and Kubernetes.

• Strong experience in infrastructure monitoring and observability using tools such as the ELK stack, Grafana, and similar solutions.
