RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce has a client that is seeking a Remote Senior Platform/DevOps Engineer.
Overview:
Are you passionate about working with cutting-edge technologies? Do you thrive in environments where you can own delivery, shape infrastructure strategy, and make a visible impact? This role offers the opportunity to join a global technology organization powering some of the world's top digital marketplaces through advanced commerce media solutions.
You'll join a team of engineers who embrace innovation, love solving complex problems, and partner closely across the organization to build platforms that scale globally. You'll also have access to a learning platform designed to deepen your expertise in this rapidly growing industry.
Duties:
* Design, implement, and operate scalable, secure, and reliable cloud infrastructure for a major SaaS platform
* Collaborate closely with product and engineering to translate ambiguity into clear milestones and progress
* Lead lightweight standups or async check-ins and manage work tracking in Jira with strong acceptance criteria
* Support and optimize cloud-native microservices environments
* Implement automation, robust monitoring, and infrastructure-as-code practices
* Own and enhance CI/CD pipelines to drive efficiency and deployment velocity
* Strengthen systems with industry-standard security best practices
* Participate in 24/7 on-call rotations for mission-critical environments
* Proactively identify potential infrastructure issues and implement preventative solutions
* Manage Linux (and optionally Windows) environments at scale
* Continuously assess existing systems and recommend improvements
* Partner with multiple agile teams to deliver end-to-end features from concept to launch
* Act as DRI for assigned initiatives, ensuring delivery and cross-functional alignment
* Support operational excellence including incident response, patching, and reliability initiatives
REQUIREMENTS:
* 5+ years of experience in a DevOps or Platform Engineering role
* Experience running standups or async workflows with well-defined acceptance criteria
* Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation)
* Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or TravisCI
* Deep hands-on expertise with cloud technologies: Compute (EC2, VMs), load balancing, auto-scaling; Cloud storage (S3, Blob); Container services (ECS), Kubernetes (EKS); IAM and VPC networking
* Familiarity with configuration management (Ansible, Chef)
* Strong foundational networking knowledge including subnetting, routing, and VPC design
* Solid system administration background (Linux required, Windows optional)
* Proficiency with monitoring and observability tooling such as Datadog, PagerDuty, and CloudWatch
* Proficient with Git or similar version control systems
* Strong communication skills; Able to deliver crisp updates tailored to any audience
* Skilled in coaching and unblocking others without formal authority
* Strong scripting abilities with Bash and Python
* Proven ability to turn ambiguous work into structured plans with clear owners and dates
Why This Role Stands Out:
* Work on highly visible, large-scale systems powering global digital marketplaces
* Help drive an engineer-led roadmap with real influence and ownership
* Be part of a culture that invests in continuous learning, including access to a dedicated industry learning academy
* Competitive compensation package including bonus opportunity
