Sr. Devops Engineer

Job Description:
The client is seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to join its growing platform engineering organization during a critical modernization initiative led by newly assembled technology leadership. This individual will play a key role in transforming the company''s software delivery processes from a traditional CAB-driven deployment model to a modern, automated CI/CD ecosystem built on GitLab, AWS, and Infrastructure as Code.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role focused on execution rather than architecture ownership. The vision, roadmap, and proof of concept have already been established; the team now needs an engineer who can help scale those solutions across the enterprise and accelerate adoption among engineering teams.

Key Areas of Focus:

• Modernizing deployment processes by replacing manual release approvals and promotions with automated CI/CD workflows.
• Expanding and supporting Infrastructure as Code practices within a multi-account AWS environment using Pulumi and GitLab.
• Working with engineering teams to prepare repositories for continuous deployment readiness, including testing and pipeline requirements.
• Driving automation initiatives that reduce operational overhead and eliminate manual "click ops" activities.
• Leveraging AI-assisted engineering tools and identifying opportunities to improve developer productivity through automation and emerging technologies.

Additional Skills & Qualifications:

• Experience working within organizations undergoing large-scale DevOps and platform modernization initiatives. This role will support the rollout of an already proven CI/CD model across multiple engineering teams.
• Experience partnering with application development teams to prepare repositories for deployment readiness, including helping teams meet testing and deployment requirements necessary for continuous delivery.
• Familiarity with automated deployment patterns including branch-driven deployments, merge request workflows, automated environment promotion, and rollback strategies.
• Experience supporting AWS services such as ECS/Fargate, Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFront, S3, and related cloud infrastructure components.
• Understanding of secure deployment practices including IAM, least-privilege access, OIDC-based authentication, and secrets management.
• Exposure to AI-assisted development tools and a willingness to leverage emerging technologies to improve engineering productivity and automation efforts, as the organization is actively investing in AI-first engineering practices.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work directly with engineering teams to drive adoption of new processes and platform standards.
• Continuous learner who enjoys exploring new technologies, improving existing processes, and contributing ideas that increase efficiency and scalability.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with significant organizational investment in cloud transformation, automation, and modern software delivery practices
• Employee Value Proposition (EVP)
