Senior DevOps Engineer

About the Team:

We’re a small DevOps team supporting the whole Engineering organization, building applications on top of EC2 and AWS. We own all aspects of the SDLC but strive to automate self-service wherever possible. Being a small team, we also practice SRE, continuously improving our observability and building with Infrastructure-as-Code. Security and compliance best practices are integral to our workflows, ensuring systems are secure by design and meet regulatory and organizational standards. Our team is remote but highly organized to meet the demand of a fast-paced environment. Our primary business language is English, and we emphasize strong communication skills.
