Senior DevOps Engineer

We are seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to support and evolve the shared digital platform used by the GIS Digital team (Tampa/Toledo). This role sits at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, CI/CD automation, security hardening, and multi-team operational enablement. You will work across Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and AWS workloads, supporting containerized applications, event-driven systems, and enterprise identity-integrated platforms while helping unify DevOps practices across historically separate teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Operate and improve cloud-native platforms spanning:
• GCP (GKE, Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub, Cloud SQL, Firestore)
• AWS (EC2, ECS, RDS) workloads
• Maintain and upgrade Kubernetes (GKE) clusters, including version alignment, node configuration, backup/restore processes, and environment parity across sandbox, dev, test, stage, and prod.
• Maintain and upgrade multi-cloud infrastructure with Infrastructure as Code.
• Maintain pipelines to deploy Kotlin/Java (Gradle), Node.js, and Ruby based containers.
• Support development team with platform and app assistance.
• Design, maintain, and standardize CI/CD pipelines used by both Tampa and Toledo teams using:
• Azure DevOps and GitHub Action pipelines
• Infrastructure-as-Code with Terraform and CloudFormation
• Shared development repository templates (Node.js, Kotlin, Cloud Functions, Flutter) and pipeline templates (IaC, Batch, Workflow)
• SonarQube static analysis and quality gate enforcement
• Pipeline reliability and scripting fixes
• Security scanning on cloud infrastructure and containers
• Support containerized build pipelines (Docker), including troubleshooting JDK, Gradle, and dependency issues.
• Contribute to enterprise security hardening efforts, including:
• Vulnerability reduction initiatives
• IAM and PAM/TEAM integrations
• Secure pipeline practices
• Partner with application teams to remediate security findings across cloud workloads and pipelines while minimizing delivery friction.
• Act as a senior technical contributor, helping:
• Align DevOps practices across Tampa and Toledo
• Mentor engineers and help raise the DevOps maturity of product teams without acting as a "gatekeeper."
