Kforce has a client in Greenwood Village, CO that is seeking a DevOps Engineer - Platform & CI/CD.

Summary:
We are seeking a hands-on DevOps Engineer with a strong focus on CI/CD, platform operations, and infrastructure automation. This role emphasizes operational excellence and platform reliability rather than deep software engineering or application development.

* Candidates with Jenkins-only backgrounds are not a fit
* Experience managing infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code, preferably Terraform
* Working knowledge of cloud platforms, preferably AWS (experience with other providers acceptable)
* Comfort working in Linux environments, including shell scripting, terminal usage, and operational troubleshooting
* Experience supporting and maintaining production platforms and deployment workflows

Nice-to-Have Qualifications:
* Basic experience with containerization, especially Docker
* Exposure to Kubernetes or container orchestration (not required)
* Experience supporting data, analytics, or internal platform teams
* Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools

What This Role Is Not:

* Deep application development or advanced programming expertise is not required

What Success Looks Like:
* Reliable and well-maintained CI/CD pipelines that support fast, safe deployments
* Stable, well-operated platforms that perform reliably in production
