Job Description

We are seeking a highly experienced and visionary Principal DevOps Engineer to lead the design, implementation, and scaling of our core infrastructure and deployment pipelines. As a technical leader, you will be instrumental in bridging the gap between software development and IT operations, ensuring high availability, robust security, and seamless continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD). You will champion automation, embed security practices into our development lifecycle, and mentor junior engineers while driving our technical strategy forward.

Job Responsibility

  • Architect & Scale Infrastructure: Design, deploy, and maintain highly available and resilient containerized infrastructure utilizing Kubernetes or Red Hat OpenShift
  • Version Control Leadership: Establish and enforce advanced Git workflows, optimal branching strategies (e.g., GitFlow, trunk-based development), and governance policies across enterprise GitLab or Bitbucket environments
  • CI/CD Leadership: Own and continuously improve enterprise-scale CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, integrating seamlessly with our source control repositories to ensure fast, reliable, and automated software delivery
  • DevSecOps Integration: Champion secure coding practices by integrating and managing static analysis (SAST) tools, specifically Coverity, directly into the build pipelines to catch vulnerabilities early
  • Systems Engineering & Administration: Serve as the subject matter expert for Linux administration, performance tuning, and capacity planning across all environments
  • Network Operations: Lead advanced network troubleshooting, managing configurations, firewalls, load balancing, and resolving complex connectivity issues across distributed systems
  • Automation & Tooling: Write robust, scalable automation scripts and internal tooling using Python to eliminate manual toil and optimize system performance
  • Mentorship & Strategy: Act as a technical mentor to the broader engineering team, establish best practices for DevOps, and guide the architectural direction of our platform

Requirements

  • 8+ years of proven experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), or Systems Engineering, with a track record of operating at a senior or principal level
  • Deep expertise in advanced Git operations (complex merges, interactive rebasing, history management) and enterprise repository administration using GitLab or Bitbucket
  • Deep expertise in deploying and managing microservices using OpenShift or Kubernetes in production environments
  • Extensive hands-on experience building complex, automated pipelines using Jenkins
  • Advanced Linux administration skills (Red Hat, Ubuntu, CentOS, etc.)
  • Strong network troubleshooting skills, with a deep understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/S, routing, and network security protocols
  • Hands-on experience integrating static code analysis and security testing into automated workflows, with specific expertise in Coverity (or similar enterprise SAST tools)
  • Strong proficiency in Python for scripting, automation, and API integrations
  • Exceptional analytical skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex, inter-dependent platform issues during critical incidents

Nice to have

  • Experience migrating repositories or CI/CD pipelines between major platforms (e.g., Bitbucket to GitLab, Jenkins to GitLab CI)
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform or Ansible
  • Experience with AI-related skills, including Large Language Models (LLM), AI agents, and Claude code
  • Experience operating within major public cloud providers (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
  • Familiarity with modern observability and monitoring stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK)
  • Proven ability to integrate with existing toolchains to boost developer productivity, coupled with previous involvement in open-source projects
