Principal DevOps Engineer, Continuous Delivery

About the Role Principal Dev Ops Engineer:
Continuous Delivery & Deployment Automation As a Principal Dev Ops Engineer on Ninja One's Dev Ops Engineering team, you will be a key technical leader responsible for evolving how software is deployed and released  will own the design, architecture, and continuous improvement of Ninja One's Continuous Delivery and deployment automation capabilities ensuring that code moves from commit to production quickly, safely, predictably, and with minimal manual intervention.

This role has a strong emphasis on Continuous Delivery, deployment automation, progressive delivery, release orchestration, feature flagging, and automated rollback. You will help establish the technical patterns and platforms that enable engineering teams to deploy frequently while maintaining strong production safety and operational controls. This is a highly hands‑on role. You will design and implement deployment systems, build automation, solve complex release engineering problems, and provide technical leadership across Engineering, QA, Security, SRE, and Architecture.

You will also work with cloud infrastructure and Infrastructure as Code as part of the deployment lifecycle. Strong cloud and IaC knowledge is important, but the primary focus of this role is how software gets safely and reliably deployed to production. Ninja One operates at a significant scale, supporting millions of endpoints through a cloud‑based platform. This role provides an opportunity to influence the next generation of our software delivery and release engineering capabilities.

We’re a fast‑paced, rapidly growing company, and this role is ideal for someone who thrives on owning the "last mile" of software delivery — turning builds into safe, automated, repeatable production deployments and helping evolve Ninja One toward a modern, deploy‑at‑will model. Location - We are flexible on remote working from home, if you are located in the USA and reside in one of the following states - CA, CO, CT, FL, GA,
* IL, KS, MA, MD, ME, NJ, NC, NY, OH, OR, TN, TX, VA, and WA. We have physical offices in Austin, TX and Tampa, FL, if you prefer a hybrid option.

• Onsite interviews may be required for this role.

We hire the best software engineers, but experience in our stack can’t hurt:
Ninja One is built on Java, Kotlin, C++, Golang and Postgres; supporting millions of user endpoints and running as a scalable cloud service in AWS. Knowing large-scale datastore bottlenecks, asynchronous application design and client-server architecture will help you.

• Own Continuous Delivery End to End:
  Design, build, and continuously improve our Continuous Delivery pipelines — from artifact promotion through progressive rollout to production. You will be the technical owner of how software gets deployed, promoted, validated, and rolled back across environments and regions.
• Architect Deployment Automation:
  Build highly automated deployment workflows that eliminate manual release steps and enable engineering teams to deploy safely and consistently. Design reusable deployment frameworks and automation that can support multiple applications, services, environments, and deployment models.
• Design Progressive Delivery Strategies:
  Architect and implement progressive deployment patterns including blue/green, canary, rolling, percentage-based, and regional deployments. Build automated health checks and deployment gates that determine whether a release should continue, pause, or roll back.
• Build Automated Release Orchestration:
  Design and implement release orchestration across services, environments, and regions. Automate deployment sequencing, dependency management, artifact promotion, validation, release approvals…
