We believe in the importance of in-office collaboration and fully intend for the selected candidate for this role to work on site in the specified location.

An experienced DevOps engineer who owns the end to end CI/CD experience, production readiness, and safe,

What you’ll do

• Own CI/CD pipelines in GitHub from build through promotion and deployment for containerized services;

define guardrails, quality gates, and rollout/rollback patterns aligned with SRE and Release Management practices.

• Diagnose container runtime issues (e.g., task health, service scaling, deployments) and partner with teams

during image promotion windows.

• Embed reliability practices: runbooks, production checks, operational readiness, and joint incident/retro

participation with SRE.

• Champion observability and change safety: metrics, logs, alerts, and progressive delivery strategies (feature

flags, config changes, DB change playbooks).

• System Recovery Events: Lead and coordinate system recovery efforts during incidents. This involves

executing recovery procedures, collaborating with cross-functional teams to restore services, and conducting post-

incident reviews to identify root causes and implement preventive measures.
