Position Summary

Our client, who is in the technology space, is looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join their growing platform organization. This person will serve as a senior technical contributor focused on strengthening cloud infrastructure, expanding DevOps capabilities, and improving engineering processes across a modern Azure-based environment.

This role is ideal for someone who is deeply hands-on, brings strong experience building Kubernetes environments from the ground up, and can help introduce structure, documentation, and repeatable processes to a fast-moving team. You will work closely with DevOps, infrastructure, and product innovation teams to support platform scalability, automation, and modernization initiatives.

This position will also play a key role in enabling the organization’s broader AI-forward transformation by building the infrastructure, deployment practices, and operational maturity needed to support modern engineering workflows and next-generation product development.

This is a hybrid role with a preference for candidates in the Denver area who can work onsite approximately one day per week.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design, support, and ongoing enhancement of cloud infrastructure primarily within Azure and AKS environments.
• Build, maintain, and improve Infrastructure-as-Code frameworks using Terraform and Terragrunt.
• Support and optimize CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows across engineering teams.
• Advance GitOps and deployment automation practices to improve scalability, consistency, and reliability.
• Automate configuration management and operational processes across Linux and Windows-based systems using tools such as Ansible.
• Strengthen monitoring, observability, and troubleshooting practices across distributed systems and containerized workloads.
• Partner closely with DevOps, product, and innovation teams to support platform needs and remove capacity constraints.
• Document processes, establish standards, and help build more mature DevOps operating practices across the organization.
• Provide mentorship and technical guidance to other engineers as the team grows.
• Support production issues and help troubleshoot complex platform or infrastructure problems in a hands-on capacity.
• Partner with engineering and product innovation teams to build the platform foundations needed to support emerging AI-enabled development and delivery initiatives.
• Help establish scalable infrastructure, automation, and operational practices that enable rapid experimentation while maintaining security, stability, and reliability.
  
  

Minimum Experience

• 5 years of experience in DevOps, SRE, platform engineering, or similar technically intensive roles.
• Strong hands-on experience with Azure cloud environments.
• Deep expertise with Kubernetes, including building and supporting environments from the ground up.
• Experience working with microservices architectures in production.
• Advanced experience with Terraform, Terragrunt, or similar Infrastructure-as-Code tools.
• Strong experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and release workflows.
• Hands-on experience with automation and configuration management tools such as Ansible.
• Strong Linux knowledge and scripting experience.
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex infrastructure and platform issues.
• Exposure to AI-enabled engineering workflows, modern developer productivity tooling, or teams undergoing AI-driven transformation.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across technical teams.
• Comfort working in fast-paced, evolving environments with ambiguity and changing priorities.
• Experience creating or improving processes, documentation, and operational standards rather than simply following existing frameworks.
  
  

Additional Plus

• Experience working in startup, high-growth, or transformation-focused environments.
• Exposure to both Linux and Windows infrastructure.
• Experience with GitOps tools such as ArgoCD.
• Background with observability tooling such as Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Tempo, or OpenTelemetry.
