The DevOps Engineer will help automate infrastructure provisioning and operational processes using tools such as **Terraform**, while leveraging cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. Infrastructure automation can help teams: * Reduce repetitive manual work. * Create consistent environments. * Improve deployment reliability. * Scale infrastructure more efficiently. * Reduce configuration errors. * Support faster development cycles. ## CI/CD & Developer Experience The role will also contribute to continuous integration and continuous delivery practices. The engineer will work with development teams to make application deployment more predictable and efficient. This may include designing pipelines, automating testing and deployment steps, improving release processes, and identifying bottlenecks in the software delivery lifecycle. Experience with **Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, or CircleCI** is valuable for this work. ## Monitoring, Security & Reliability Reliable infrastructure requires more than successful deployments. The DevOps Engineer will help establish monitoring and alerting systems that provide visibility into infrastructure and application performance. Relevant responsibilities include: * Creating meaningful monitoring metrics. * Configuring alerts for operational issues. * Investigating performance problems. * Supporting incident response. * Identifying potential reliability risks. * Improving infrastructure security. * Monitoring system capacity and scalability. Tools such as **Prometheus, Grafana, and Datadog** may be used to support observability and operational awareness. ## Remote Work Environment This is a **100% remote, U.S.-only position**.
