Senior DevOps Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled DevOps Engineer with an emphasis on cloud networking and secure connectivity to play a leading role in the design and implementation of a fully automated CI/CD ecosystem and Internal Developer Portal (IDP). The ideal candidate began their career as a software developer and naturally gravitated toward cloud infrastructure, automation, and platform engineering. You are passionate about enabling engineering teams to build, test, and deploy software faster and more reliably through automation, self‑service tooling, and well‑architected cloud network foundations. This role will be instrumental in building a scalable, secure, and performant cloud network and on‑prem connectivity as well as contribute to the internal developer platform that standardizes software delivery across the organization, including network‑aware CI/CD pipelines and integrated developer platform capabilities. CI/CD Platform Engineering Design, implement, and maintain fully automated CI/CD pipelines for Java, .Net, and Node.js applications. Build standardized deployment workflows across AWS and/or Azure environments. Implement automated testing, security scanning, and quality gates within pipelines. Establish reusable pipeline templates and shared libraries to enforce best practices. Optimize build and deployment performance, reliability, and observability. Internal Developer Portal (IDP) Architect and implement an Internal Developer Portal to provide self‑service infrastructure, application templates, and deployment workflows. Enable “golden paths” for engineering teams to accelerate onboarding and reduce cognitive load. Integrate IDP with CI/CD systems, cloud infrastructure, identity management, and observability platforms. Maintain service catalogs, documentation standards, and ownership metadata. Continuously improve developer experience through feedback and platform enhancements. Cloud & Infrastructure Automation Design and manage cloud infrastructure in AWS and/or Azure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform required). Build reusable Terraform modules and enforce governance through policy‑as‑code. Implement secure, scalable networking and cloud‑native architecture patterns. Ensure high availability, scalability, and disaster recovery readiness. DevOps & Platform Best Practices Champion DevOps culture: automation‑first mindset, continuous improvement, collaboration, and transparency. Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting strategies for both infrastructure and applications. Integrate DevSecOps practices including vulnerability scanning and secrets management. Partner with development teams to improve reliability, performance, and deployment practices. Lead Proof‑of‑Concept (PoC) initiatives to evaluate and introduce new tools, platforms, and automation processes. What You Bring 10+ years of progressive experience in software engineering, DevOps, cloud engineering, or platform engineering. Demonstrated evolution from software development into cloud infrastructure and automation. 6+ years of hands‑on experience with CI/CD tools (e.g. Harness, CloudBees, Jenkins) and modern software delivery practices. Deep development expertise in Java and/or Node.js application environments. Strong hands‑on experience in AWS and/or Azure, including networking, serverless and other managed cloud infrastructure. Advanced proficiency with Terraform and Infrastructure as Code principles. Experience designing scalable cloud‑native architectures. Experience leading technical evaluations and Proof‑of‑Concept (PoC) initiatives for new tools and processes. Strong understanding of secure software delivery, git branching strategies, and DevSecOps practices. Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes preferred). Strong scripting skills (Bash, Python, or similar). Excellent collaboration skills with the ability to work cross‑functionally across engineering, security, and operations teams. Clear, transparent communication style with a bias toward documentation and shared ownership. Preferred Qualifications Experience building or implementing a commercial Internal Developer Portal (e.g., Harness IDP, Port, or similar). Experience implementing platform engineering concepts and developer self‑service models. Familiarity with service mesh, API gateways, or cloud‑native networking. Experience implementing security automation and compliance guardrails. Knowledge of observability platforms (Datadog, Prometheus, ELK, Cloud‑native tools). Experience in multi‑cloud or hybrid cloud environments. Education & Certifications Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or a related technical field. AWS and/or Azure certifications (Professional‑level preferred). Additional certifications in DevOps, Kubernetes, or cloud technologies are a plus.
