About The Role

What You'll Be Doing

  • -
  • Personally design, build, and operate the cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and underlying platform that our production, QA, and development environments run on.
  • -
  • Write the automation, IaC, and tooling yourself, including Terraform modules, deployment scripts, and glue code that removes manual work for the whole team.
  • -
  • Own reliability directly. Troubleshoot and resolve scalability, availability, and performance issues in live systems, catching and fixing problems before they reach customers.
  • -
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, keeping them fast, stable, and efficient, and integrate automated testing into them.
  • -
  • Stand up monitoring, dashboards, alerting, and log aggregation, then act on what they tell you.
  • -
  • Get hands-on with application developers to make deployments seamless, pairing on issues rather than just handing off runbooks.
  • -
  • Set technical direction for DevOps and drive it to adoption, making the architectural calls and defending them with working systems.
  • -
  • Mentor and grow the engineers around you by reviewing work, unblocking teammates, and raising the bar through hands-on guidance rather than distance.
  • -
  • Help shape team structure and priorities, and coordinate closely across engineering and with customers to keep delivery on track.
  • -
  • Evaluate and roll out new tools, technologies, and processes, proving them out in real systems rather than in slide decks.

What You'll Bring

  • -
  • 5+ years of hands-on DevOps engineering, with a track record of things you personally built and shipped.
  • -
  • Experience leading or mentoring engineers, or owning the technical direction of a team or major project.
  • -
  • Deep, practical expertise in AWS EKS, GitLab CI/CD, and Terraform. You've operated these in production, not just touched them.
  • -
  • Extensive hands-on AWS experience across Lambda, API Gateway, CloudWatch, ECS, Kinesis, and Kafka.
  • -
  • Fluent on the command line (Bash, Python) and comfortable writing your own automation and tooling.
  • -
  • Strong grasp of microservices architecture, container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes/EKS), and IaC methodology.
  • -
  • Proven ability to architect and scale infrastructure across multiple cloud platforms.
  • -
  • Working knowledge of Elasticsearch and log aggregation.
  • -
  • Excellent at documenting your own work clearly, and communicating decisions to both engineers and customers.
  • -
  • A self-starter and closer, someone who takes ambiguous problems and returns working, shipped solutions, and brings a team along with them.

Salary Range

  • $120,000 - $140,000 (CAD)
