Job Description

About Convene Inc.

Convene, Inc. is a Tampa based, award-winning technology services organization with offices and resources throughout the US, Mexico, and India. We have successful, referenceable customers, competitive benefits, and high-growth opportunities.

• Own Cloudflare end to end — zones, DNS, WAF, caching, bot management, and Workers. Lead the migration from Azure Front Door to Cloudflare as a core initiative.
• Harden the edge — tune WAF rules, defend against OWASP Top 10, and build bot mitigation strategies that protect our brands across all traffic.
• Build in Terraform, not the dashboard — own and scale our entire Cloudflare estate as code. No manual drift.
• Drive CI/CD delivery — design and maintain pipelines that automate deployments, enforce quality gates, and accelerate release cycles.
• Lead cloud infrastructure — architect and manage Azure environments including containers (Docker/Kubernetes), cloud migrations, and cost optimization.
• Operate with an AI mindset — actively bring AI tooling into DevOps workflows to improve observability, automation, and delivery speed.
• Communicate and collaborate — work across engineering, security, and product teams. Translate complex infrastructure decisions into clear guidance for stakeholders.

• 8+ years of senior-level experience within a DevOps organization is required.
• Hands-on Cloudflare expertise is required, with at least four years of running Cloudflare in production across zones and DNS, WAF, and managed rulesets, caching, and bot management.
• Cloudflare certification (ACE or ACSE) is strongly preferred; equivalent hands-on production experience will be considered in its place.
• Application security experience is required, including WAF tuning, OWASP Top 10, and bot mitigation.
• Proven track record in designing, building, and managing large-scale cloud solutions.
• Extensive expertise in infrastructure and Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation, and Biceps is essential, including building and maintaining our full Cloudflare estate in Terraform.
• Holding relevant cloud certifications is required, including Microsoft Azure (AZ-104, AZ-400, AZ-500). Multicloud certifications are preferred, and AWS or Google Cloud is equally welcome.
• Demonstrated ability in architecting, designing, and deploying applications within cloud environments is a key requirement.
• Expertise in CI/CD pipeline management, including application delivery, data pipelines, and security as code.
• Full-stack development experience is preferred.
• Exceptional communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills emphasizing clear and timely communication, are vital.
• Actively explore the convergence of AI and DevOps capabilities to foster innovation within the organization.
