Senior DevOps Engineer

Summary

Join a fast-paced, innovation-driven company as a Senior DevOps Engineer! This remote position, open to US-based candidates, requires availability between 9 am and 6 pm EST. The role demands a highly professional, self-driven individual capable of independent prioritization and execution. The ideal candidate is mindful, demonstrates urgency, and is available for emergencies (24/7) when needed. This is not a managerial role. The company seeks someone who can own and manage CI/CD processes, work fluently in AWS, ensure observability and operational excellence, collaborate effectively, and uphold high system standards.

Requirements

• 5 to 10 years of relevant DevOps experience
• Prior experience in startup environments or similarly fast-moving cultures
• Strong hands-on expertise with Azure DevOps, AWS (especially Lambda), and Datadog
• A clear, personal understanding of what operational excellence means and how it contributes to business success
• Strong communication skills and a proactive mindset
• Willingness to participate in multiple rounds of interviews as part of the selection process

Responsibilities

• Own and manage CI/CD processes with Azure DevOps: Setup, optimize, and troubleshoot workflows and pipelines
• Work fluently in AWS: Confident in managing and optimizing AWS services, with a particular focus on Lambda cost-efficiency and strategic use of newer features
• Ensure observability and operational excellence: Use Datadog to set up monitoring, alerting, and performance dashboards. Proactively identify and escalate critical issues and their impact – even up to the CEO level
• Collaborate across teams with a startup-level understanding of urgency, autonomy, and accountability
• Uphold high standards of system reliability, security, and performance
