Senior TechOps Engineer (DevOps Platform)
Job Summary
Our Vision for Engineering
At QIMA we expect AI agents to take on a growing share of implementation work: coding integration and quality assurance. Engineers remain accountable for review release and production outcomes and focus on what creates lasting business value: deciding which capabilities to build next defining sound architecture managing technical debt and stewarding data and security across the stack. We are investing in the environment standards and platforms that make this way of working real.
Your role in the TechOps team
Agents are only as good as the platform they build on and run on. The TechOps team owns that platform: the infrastructure paved roads runtime guardrails and observability that let engineers and agents ship fast safely and with a full audit trail. This is much more than DevOps. As a senior member of high-ownership TechOps team you will:
Build and own the platform:
Take direct ownership of significant parts of QIMAs core infrastructure and shape it into the engineering platform that delivers our business solutions and operations applications including our internal AI platform and shared services layer
Architect and evolve CI/CD pipelines and the shared app stack (ingress monitoring alerting backup) using GitOps practices
Design and implement infrastructure as code across our cloud network and edge/security layers balancing short-term delivery with long-term scalability
Enable engineers and agents:
Design self-service paths to production (templates golden paths developer tooling) so that product and operations teams can ship business applications quickly safely and at scale
Build the AI agent platform: the hosting context tool access guardrails and evaluation that let agents deliver CI/CD infrastructure as code and self-service tasks end to end with human oversight where it matters
Extend the platform to data and ML/AI workloads (DataOps MLOps) so pipelines models and agents are built deployed and monitored to the same standards as application code
Run it reliably and securely:
Join the biweekly on-call rotation leading incident response and root cause analysis on production issues
Use coding assistants and agentic workflows daily and embed AI-driven automation into how we deploy monitor and operate the platform
Keep the platform secure and auditable by default: secrets access logging and compliance with QIMA quality and security standards for people and for agents
Shape direction and raise the bar:
Bring outside perspective and industry best practices to the team and actively challenge existing patterns where they can be improved
Act as a technical reference and informal mentor for other engineers raising the bar on code quality operational rigor automation and AI adoption
Be directly involved in shaping architecture decisions and technical direction for the team
Qualifications :
Were looking for genuine hands-on seniority - not just years on a CV:
5 years of experience in DevOps Platform Engineering or SRE roles
Proven mastery of using AI to design and build a production-grade AI harness (agents tools context guardrails evaluation) that carries out tasks end to end.
Strong production-grade experience with AWS Terraform and Kubernetes/EKS
Proven track record architecting and operating CI/CD pipelines (ArgoCD Argo Workflow CircleCI and/or Jenkins)
Experience carrying on-call responsibility for mission-critical systems
Solid expertise with monitoring and observability tools such as Grafana ELK and/or OpenSearch
Strong Linux fundamentals and working knowledge of network security
Deep understanding of microservice application architecture in cloud environments
Experience with secrets management (Vault or equivalent) is a plus
Experience building internal platforms or developer tooling (self-service templates golden paths) used by other engineering teams is a plus
Comfortable questioning existing practices and proposing better ones backed by experience
Masters degree (Bac5) in Computer Science Engineering or a related field or 5 years of equivalent professional experience
Were looking for someone fully engaged with AI - you already use it daily to augment your own work (coding assistants automation agentic workflows) and are eager to push it further building AI into the platform itself and into how the team delivers.
Required: Fluent English with strong written and verbal communication skills as youll work daily with an international team. English is the working language of the team not a nice-to-have.
