DevOps Engineer
Mixed-Cloud Platform & Release Engineering
Position Overview
We are seeking a skilled DevOps Engineer to help build, operate, and continuously improve the CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure that support our mobility products. This is a hands-on individual contributor role responsible for the reliability, security, and velocity of build and release automation across a hybrid environment that includes Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and on-premises data centers.
You will work alongside a team of DevOps engineers, SREs, and release engineers, partnering closely with Software Engineering, QE, Architecture, and Information Security to help hundreds of microservices ship safely multiple times per day. Success in this role is measured by your contributions to deployment frequency, change failure rate, mean time to recovery (MTTR), platform availability, and the security posture of the delivery pipeline.
Essential ResponsibilitiesCI/CD & Release Engineering
- Build, maintain, and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines supporting hundreds of microservices and applications, including pipeline-as-code standards, build artifacts, container images, and deployment automation across Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions.
- Contribute to measurable improvements in DORA metrics: deployment frequency, lead time for changes, change failure rate, and time to restore service.
- Implement and maintain release patterns (blue/green, canary, feature flags), rollback procedures, and pre-production validation gates.
- Partner with QE to embed automated testing — unit, integration, contract, performance, and security — into pipelines so that quality is enforced before production.
Hybrid Cloud & Infrastructure Operations
- Build and operate infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and on-premises data centers, including compute, networking, storage, identity, and connectivity between environments (VPN, ExpressRoute, Direct Connect, peering, and transit).
- Manage and support Kubernetes (EKS, AKS, and on-prem clusters), container registries, service meshes, ingress controllers, and supporting middleware.
- Write and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) using Terraform and platform-native tooling (CloudFormation, ARM/Bicep); participate in drift detection, peer review, and policy-as-code on all infrastructure changes.
- Support capacity planning, cost optimization (FinOps), and rightsizing efforts across cloud and on-prem footprints.
Observability, Reliability & Incident Response
- Build and maintain the observability stack — metrics, logs, traces, and synthetic monitoring — and help define SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets for critical services.
