ABOUT THE ROLE:

We are looking for a seasoned Senior Dev Ops Engineer to join our team and take ownership of our CI/CD ecosystem, cloud infrastructure automation, and developer platform. This is a journey-level, fully qualified position where you will independently design and drive solutions across complex, diverse projects — bringing both technical depth and collaborative leadership to everything you do.

You will work at the intersection of infrastructure engineering, AI-driven tooling, and modern cloud operations, partnering closely with development and Tech Ops teams to accelerate delivery cycles and ensure the reliability, security, and scalability of our systems.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design, implement, and maintain robust, scalable CI/CD pipelines across multiple environments, applying industry best practices to optimize delivery speed and system reliability.
  • Automate the provisioning and lifecycle management of cloud resources (VMs, EC2, and more) using Infrastructure as Code — with Terraform as the primary tool — ensuring consistent, repeatable, and auditable deployments.
  • Manage and optimize cloud networking configurations, supporting complex developer workflows and infrastructure scalability requirements.
  • Integrate AI and large language model (LLM) capabilities into Dev Ops tooling and developer workflows, including leveraging Model Context Protocol (MCP) for intelligent automation and context-aware pipeline tooling.
  • Collaborate with engineering and operations teams to identify bottlenecks, reduce toil, and continuously improve the release process.
  • Apply security best practices to deployment pipelines and cloud infrastructure, proactively identifying and remediating vulnerabilities.
  • Monitor, observe, and optimize infrastructure performance, taking initiative to resolve complex issues before they impact customers.
  • Evaluate emerging tools and technologies — particularly in the AI/LLM space — and provide guidance on how to incorporate them effectively into organization workflows.
  • Communicate technical strategies and recommendations clearly to senior internal and external stakeholders, adapting your approach to diverse audiences and often driving alignment on difficult decisions.
Qualifications
  • 5+ years of related Dev Ops/infrastructure engineering experience (or 3 years with a Master’s degree or equivalent experience).
  • Deep, hands‑on expertise with Terraform for infrastructure as code — this is a must‑have.
  • Hands‑on, production‑level experience building and deploying AI/LLM‑integrated systems — this is a must‑have. You have worked directly with large language model APIs, designed AI‑assisted workflows, and shipped real tooling powered by LLMs in an engineering or Dev Ops context.
  • Hands‑on, production‑level experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP) — this is a must‑have. You have implemented MCP‑based integrations to build intelligent, context‑aware developer tools, automation pipelines, or agent workflows, not just read about it.
  • Strong command of CI/CD platforms (e.g., Git Hub Actions, Git Lab CI, Jenkins, Circle

    CI, or similar).
  • Experience provisioning and managing cloud infrastructure on AWS, GCP, or Azure (EC2, VMs, VPCs, IAM, etc.).
  • Solid understanding of cloud networking concepts (VPCs, subnets, security groups, load balancers, DNS).
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently, resolve ambiguous and complex problems, and deliver high‑quality solutions with minimal supervision.
Preferred
  • Experience with Kubernetes, Helm, or container orchestration platforms.
  • Familiarity with Git Ops workflows (e.g., ArgoCD, Flux).
  • Scripting proficiency in Python, Bash, or Go.
  • Knowledge of observability tooling (Datadog, Prometheus/Grafana, Open Telemetry).
  • Experience building internal developer platforms (IDPs).
