Job Specifications

Role Summary: We’re hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer to own and continuously improve our CI/CD and developer enablement experience on an AWS-first, serverless platform. You’ll build reliable and secure deployment pipelines in GitHub Actions, improve automation testing workflows and reporting, strengthen observability and cost visibility, and provide pragmatic platform support (DNS/hosting) while maintaining a strong security posture (IAM, access controls, guardrails).
