We are seeking a Remote DevOps Engineer to join our distributed infrastructure team. In this role, you will design, automate, and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure, optimize continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, and ensure high reliability, security, and uptime across our applications.
You will collaborate closely with software engineering, security, and product teams to establish modern infrastructure best practices in a fully remote environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Cloud Infrastructure & Infrastructure as Code (40%): Provision, manage, and scale cloud environments using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi.
- CI/CD Automation (30%): Build, maintain, and optimize robust CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins) to ensure fast, secure, and reliable software delivery.
- Monitoring, Logging & Incident Management (15%): Implement continuous monitoring, telemetry, and alerting solutions (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack) to proactively detect issues and optimize system performance.
- Security & Compliance (15%): Implement security best practices (DevSecOps), zero-trust access controls, secret management, and automated vulnerability scanning across cloud resources.
Qualifications & Requirements
Minimum Requirements:
- Experience: 3+ years of dedicated experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or Cloud Architecture.
- Cloud Platforms: Hands-on expertise with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Advanced experience writing and managing modular IaC using Terraform or CloudFormation.
- Containers & Orchestration: Strong proficiency with Docker and Kubernetes (managed services like EKS, GKE, or AKS).
- Scripting: Proficiency in at least one scripting language (Python, Bash, or Go) for system automation.
- Remote Collaboration: Proven ability to work effectively in an asynchronous, distributed remote environment with strong documentation and written communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications (Nice-to-Have):
- AWS, GCP, or Kubernetes (CKA/CKAD) certifications.
- Experience with service mesh frameworks (Istio, Linkerd) and GitOps workflows (ArgoCD, Flux).
- Familiarity with database administration, scaling, and automated backup strategies.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
- System Reliability: Maintaining application uptime (>99.9%) and minimizing Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR).
- Deployment Efficiency: Reducing build/deployment cycle times and improving automated pipeline test coverage.
- Infrastructure Cost Optimization: Efficiently managing cloud resource usage and performance overhead.
What We Offer
- Healthcare & Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance options.
- Work-Life Balance: Unlimited/Generous PTO, flexible core hours, and home office setup stipend.
- Growth & Learning: Annual budget for tech certifications, books, and conference attendance.
