Responsibilities

• Own the CI/CD lifecycle: Design, secure, and optimize pipelines (GitHub Actions) to accelerate app/data team workflows—from PR to production.
• Champion DevEx: Reduce friction in local development (e.g., containerized environments) and deployments (e.g., self-service rollbacks).
• Integrate AI-powered tooling: Enable developers to leverage LLMs (e.g., Claude Sonnet with MCP) for code generation, debugging, and documentation—ensuring secure, context-aware integration with GitHub repos and databases.
• Collaborate cross-team: Partner with infrastructure engineers on IaC (Terraform) and app/data engineers to debug build/test bottlenecks.
• Measure and improve: Monitor pipeline health (e.g., success rates, duration) and drive adoption of observability best practices.
• Automate relentlessly: Replace manual toil (e.g., environment provisioning) with scalable, documented solutions.

Requirements

• 3+ years in DevOps/SRE roles with a focus on CI/CD and developer productivity.
• Deep expertise in GitHub Actions (or similar) and infrastructure as code (Terraform, Pulumi).
• Experience supporting Python/React apps (bonus: data pipelines/Kubernetes).
• Familiarity with AI/LLM tooling (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot, or similar) and their safe integration into developer workflows (e.g., access controls, context-aware APIs).
• Strong communication—you thrive in feedback loops with engineers and stakeholders.
• A bias for action: You ship incremental improvements while planning long-term fixes.

Nice-to-haves

• Expertise in modern software development best practices, including deployments, CI/CD, data management, security, and distributed systems.
• Extensive experience with AWS or other cloud platforms, leveraging containerization and orchestration technologies like Docker and Kubernetes.
• Proficiency in software engineering, particularly in Python, for developing APIs and automation tools.
• Hands-on experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi.
• Strong background in Linux system administration, with proficiency in Python, Bash, or other scripting languages for automation.
• Deep understanding of CI/CD tools, including GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and ArgoCD.

Benefits

• Salary Range: $130,000 - $215,000 Annually + Benefits + Equity (if applicable) + Bonus (if applicable)
• Actual compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, certifications or licenses, and specific work location.
