Senior DevOps Engineer

The Role

The Senior DevOps Engineer takes the lead in shaping Polly’s cloud platform and developer enablement strategy. In this high-impact role, you’ll have broad authority and autonomy to define the architecture, tools, and practices that power cloud-hosted systems.

You’ll design and build modern, scalable infrastructure; establish best practices for CI/CD, observability, and security; and create tooling that helps developers move fast with confidence. This is an opportunity for a hands-on technical leader who wants to set direction, drive innovation, and make a lasting mark on how software is built and delivered.

What You'll Do

• Design, implement, and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to automate provisioning, configuration, and scaling of cloud environments using tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, or Bicep.
• Own the CI/CD strategy and toolchain, designing pipelines that enable rapid, reliable, and secure delivery of applications and infrastructure changes.
• Establish and enforce DevOps best practices for version control, testing, deployment, and rollback across multiple environments.
• Build and maintain reusable infrastructure modules and templates to support consistent, secure, and efficient deployments.
• Collaborate with development teams to integrate CI/CD pipelines with application codebases, test suites, and runtime configurations.
• Monitor, optimize, and troubleshoot pipeline performance and reliability, ensuring fast feedback loops and minimal downtime.
• Implement observability, logging, and alerting frameworks to improve visibility into infrastructure health and deployment outcomes.
• Champion automation and self-service, reducing manual processes and empowering developers with scalable, reliable tools.
• Evaluate and introduce new technologies and practices to improve the security, resilience, and developer experience of the platform.
• Provide mentorship and technical leadership, helping engineers adopt infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD practices effectively.

Required

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or related software infrastructure roles.
• Proven expertise in designing and implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, or Bicep.
• Strong background in CI/CD pipeline development and automation, using systems such as GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps Pipelines, Jenkins, or similar.
• Deep understanding of cloud-native architectures, containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), and modern deployment strategies such as blue/green and canary.
• Solid grasp of networking, identity, and security principles in cloud environments.
• Experience with monitoring, observability, and incident response practices and tooling.

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related degree preferred, or 10+ years of cumulative DevOps experience.

Preferred

• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure as the primary cloud platform.
• Familiarity with Azure Container Apps, Azure Key Vault, and related services.
• Strong understanding of GitHub Enterprise integrations for source control and automation.
