Sr. DevOps Engineer

Title: DevOps Engineer

Location: 100% Remote

Duration: Long-term

Type: Contract - W2

Job Summary:

Our team is growing rapidly, and we are seeking a DevOps Engineer with deep expertise in automation, orchestration, and service discovery to help drive our next generation of infrastructure initiatives.

This role centers on Ansible, Temporal, and Consul—key technologies powering our automation, workflow, and distributed systems strategies. You’ll design and maintain resilient, scalable cloud infrastructure across multi-cloud environments, enabling consistent delivery, high availability, and intelligent automation.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain Ansible-based automation frameworks to manage provisioning, configuration, and deployment across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
• Implement and optimize Temporal workflows to orchestrate long-running processes, automate CI/CD pipelines, and standardize application lifecycle management.
• Deploy and manage HashiCorp Consul for service discovery, health checking, and secure configuration management across microservices.
• Collaborate with engineering and SRE teams to build self-healing, event-driven automation using Ansible playbooks and Temporal task queues.
• Integrate Consul with service mesh and monitoring solutions to enhance observability and reliability.
• Maintain Infrastructure-as-Code standards with Terraform and Terragrunt, ensuring consistency and traceability across environments.
• Enforce DRY principles using configuration management and Kubernetes templating tools (Helm, Kustomize, Tanka, Jsonnet).
• Develop reusable Ansible roles and collections to streamline environment builds and promote automation at scale.
• Apply best practices for RBAC, secrets management (Vault), and compliance within cloud-native architectures.
• Work cross-functionally with developers and DevOps teams to align infrastructure automation with application deployment pipelines.

Required Skills & Experience

• Ansible expertise — advanced playbook authoring, role development, and automation design for large-scale systems.
• Temporal or Cadence workflow orchestration — design and maintain distributed workflows for CI/CD, monitoring, and automation.
• HashiCorp Consul — hands-on experience with service discovery, configuration key/value stores, and integration into microservice frameworks.
• Terraform / IaC — solid understanding of Infrastructure-as-Code, Terragrunt, and multi-account management.
• CI/CD Pipelines — experience with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar tools.
• Scripting/Development — proficiency in Python, Golang, or similar programming languages.
• Cloud Platforms — AWS (preferred), Google Cloud Platform, or Azure for containerized workloads and scalable infrastructure.
• Linux Administration — strong command-line and system-level expertise (RHEL, Ubuntu, CentOS).
• Security Tools — familiarity with HashiCorp Vault, least-privilege IAM models, and cloud security best practices.
• Excellent communication skills across distributed teams and time zones.

Preferred Skills

• Experience leading cross-functional DevOps and engineering teams.
• Knowledge of multi-region, multi-environment architectures and best practices for fault tolerance.
• Familiarity with GitOps principles and self-hosted CI/CD runners.
  Strong analytical mindset with the ability to diagnose and resolve complex infrastructure challenges.
