DevOps Engineer II

Description About the Role As a DevOps Engineer II, you will take ownership of the architecture, strategy, and reliability of our automated deployment pipelines and infrastructure, driving operational excellence across the organization. Building on a strong foundation of DevOps execution, you will design scalable, secure infrastructure solutions, set technical standards for CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code practices, and lead the resolution of complex production issues. You will act as a technical leader within the DevOps function, mentoring DevOps Engineer I team members and partnering closely with development, QA, and security teams to shape how systems are built, deployed, and operated.

Your work will directly influence the organization’s infrastructure strategy — from evaluating and selecting new tools and platforms to designing disaster recovery and capacity plans that keep systems resilient at scale. You will be expected to anticipate operational risk before it becomes an incident, drive continuous improvement in deployment velocity and system reliability, and translate infrastructure decisions into business impact for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. While DevOps Engineer I focuses on building and maintaining well-defined pipelines and infrastructure, this role owns the design decisions, standards, and technical direction that guide the broader team’s work.

Responsibilities

• Architect and drive the technical strategy for CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code practices, and deployment automation across teams
• Design scalable, resilient, and secure infrastructure solutions, including disaster recovery and capacity planning
• Lead incident response and root cause analysis for critical production issues, driving long-term remediation rather than short-term fixes
• Set and enforce standards, best practices, and documentation for infrastructure, security, and deployment processes across the DevOps function
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to DevOps Engineer I team members, including code/config reviews and skill development
• Evaluate, select, and integrate new tools, platforms, and technologies to improve reliability, security, and delivery velocity
• Partner with security teams to define and implement DevSecOps standards across pipelines and infrastructure
• Collaborate with engineering and product leadership to align infrastructure strategy with business priorities
• Drive cost optimization and efficiency initiatives across cloud infrastructure
• Serve as an escalation point and technical authority during high-severity production incidents, including on-call rotations

Skills In this role, your ability to architect infrastructure and pipeline strategy — not just implement it — will differentiate your daily work from earlier-career DevOps roles. Your deep expertise with cloud platforms and infrastructure-as-code will enable you to design systems that scale reliably under changing demands, while your command of containerization and orchestration will guide how the broader team structures microservice deployments. Your judgment in security and observability will shape how the organization detects and prevents issues rather than simply reacting to them. Equally important are your leadership and mentorship skills, as you will be relied upon to raise the technical bar for the DevOps team and to represent the function in cross-team strategic discussions.

Requirements Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, system administration, or infrastructure automation, including experience designing infrastructure solutions rather than solely implementing predefined specifications
• Demonstrated experience architecting and implementing CI/CD pipeline strategy (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps Pipelines, GitHub Actions) across multiple teams or products
• Advanced proficiency with Linux/Unix operating systems and scripting languages such as Bash, Python, or PowerShell
• Demonstrated experience designing and provisioning cloud infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM, or Bicep) at a system/architecture level
• Advanced experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes), including designing microservice deployment strategies
• Strong understanding of networking, se…
