Senior Platform/DevOps Engineer - Remote

Responsibilities

Kforce has a client that is seeking a Remote Senior Platform/DevOps Engineer. Overview: Are you passionate about working with cutting-edge technologies? Do you thrive in environments where you can own delivery, shape infrastructure strategy, and make a visible impact? This role offers the opportunity to join a global technology organization powering some of the world's top digital marketplaces through advanced commerce media solutions. You'll join a team of engineers who embrace innovation, love solving complex problems, and partner closely across the organization to build platforms that scale globally. You'll also have access to a learning platform designed to deepen your expertise in this rapidly growing industry. Duties:

• Design, implement, and operate scalable, secure, and reliable cloud infrastructure for a major SaaS platform
• Collaborate closely with product and engineering to translate ambiguity into clear milestones and progress
• Lead lightweight standups or async check-ins and manage work tracking in Jira with strong acceptance criteria
• Support and optimize cloud-native microservices environments
• Implement automation, robust monitoring, and infrastructure-as-code practices
• Own and enhance CI/CD pipelines to drive efficiency and deployment velocity
• Strengthen systems with industry-standard security best practices
• Participate in 24/7 on-call rotations for mission-critical environments
• Proactively identify potential infrastructure issues and implement preventative solutions
• Manage Linux (and optionally Windows) environments at scale
• Continuously assess existing systems and recommend improvements
• Partner with multiple agile teams to deliver end-to-end features from concept to launch
• Act as DRI for assigned initiatives, ensuring delivery and cross-functional alignment
• Support operational excellence including incident response, patching, and reliability initiatives
  
  

Requirements

• 5 years of experience in a DevOps or Platform Engineering role
• Experience running standups or async workflows with well-defined acceptance criteria
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation)
• Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or TravisCI
• Deep hands-on expertise with cloud technologies: Compute (EC2, VMs), load balancing, auto-scaling; Cloud storage (S3, Blob); Container services (ECS), Kubernetes (EKS); IAM and VPC networking
• Familiarity with configuration management (Ansible, Chef)
• Strong foundational networking knowledge including subnetting, routing, and VPC design
• Solid system administration background (Linux required, Windows optional)
• Proficiency with monitoring and observability tooling such as Datadog, PagerDuty, and CloudWatch
• Proficient with Git or similar version control systems
• Strong communication skills; Able to deliver crisp updates tailored to any audience
• Skilled in coaching and unblocking others without formal authority
• Strong scripting abilities with Bash and Python
• Proven ability to turn ambiguous work into structured plans with clear owners and dates
  
  

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work on highly visible, large-scale systems powering global digital marketplaces
• Help drive an engineer-led roadmap with real influence and ownership
• Be part of a culture that invests in continuous learning, including access to a dedicated industry learning academy
• Competitive compensation package including bonus opportunity
