Imagine joining a brand-new department at day one-where your ideas shape the foundation and your code powers the future.
A nationally recognized company with decades of success is launching a bold digital transformation. With the backing of a Fortune 500 parent and full executive support, this initiative is building a mobile-first product from scratch-a greenfield, 0-to-1 launch that's poised to redefine how users interact with essential services.
We're assembling a high-impact team of 20 innovators-engineers, designers, product leaders-who will architect and launch a modern digital experience. The first MVP is on the runway, and we're looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to help our client company take off.
Why You'll Love This Role
Start-up energy, enterprise stability: Move fast, innovate boldly, and build from scratch-with funding, executive support, and guidance from top-tier tech leadership.
Impact from Day One: Join early, shape the infrastructure, and influence the DevOps culture for a product that will scale nationally.
Greenfield Opportunity: No legacy systems for new mobile build. No red tape. Just clean architecture and a blank canvas.
What You'll Do
Architect and maintain scalable, secure CI/CD pipelines for rapid deployment.
Build infrastructure as code (IaC) using Terraform or CloudFormation.
Optimize cloud environments for performance, scalability, and cost-efficiency.
Implement robust monitoring, logging, and alerting systems.
Automate operational tasks and enhance system resilience.
Champion DevOps best practices across the development lifecycle.
Ensure security and compliance through proactive guardrails and vulnerability management.
Mentor junior engineers and help define DevOps standards.
What You Bring
5+ years in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering.
Deep expertise in AWS (EC2, ECS, Lambda, S3, IAM, CloudWatch).
Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline).
Proficiency in containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
Strong scripting skills (Bash, Python, PowerShell).
Familiarity with observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack).
Bonus: Azure experience, DevSecOps knowledge, AWS certifications.

Reporting Structure
Reports to: Director of Product Engineering
Team size: You'll be a foundational member of a 20-person launch team
