About the Role We are seeking a highly skilled Senior DevOps Engineer to join our engineering team and drive the development and maintenance of our cloud infrastructure and deployment pipelines.

In this role you will work closely with software engineers SREs and security teams to automate scale and enhance our cloudbased environments. You will play a critical role in optimizing CI/CD workflows ensuring system reliability and improving developer productivity.

Optimize cloud resource utilization to balance performance cost and scalability.
Troubleshoot production issues across services and infrastructure applying observability and debugging techniques.
Contribute to architecture discussions and performance optimization efforts.
At times wear a software developer hat doing bugfixes or building solutions (possibly with AI tooling) though most of the work is expected to be around DevOps more than software development.
