Job Description Job Description Description Join a
cross-functional DevOps team responsible for building and
maintaining modern cloud infrastructure and internal platform
capabilities that accelerate software delivery. You’ll help deliver
reliable, scalable solutions for hundreds of internal users, with a
focus on system integration—especially Identity and Access
Management (IAM)—plus cloud operations, automation, CI/CD, and
observability. Role expectations Act as a Reliability/Support
Engineer for the Identity and Access Management (IAM) platform,
helping ensure availability, performance, and secure integrations.
Partner with project teams to design and implement IAM integration
solutions (e.g., SSO, provisioning, authentication/authorization
flows) across internal applications and services. Build, improve,
and maintain internal tools and automated processes to enable
engineering teams to become more efficient and autonomous.
Contribute to cloud infrastructure design, deployment, and support
(AWS primary), including container-based workloads and supporting
platform services. Automate application deployment, packaging, and
other aspects of the release lifecycle using CI/CD best practices.
Triage, debug, and resolve issues uncovered by QA, testers, and
internal clients; drive problems through to resolution with strong
ownership. Manage infrastructure and application changes using
established change management and change control processes.
Strengthen observability by leveraging metrics, logs, and tracing
to improve reliability and reduce mean time to recovery.
Collaborate frequently with Tech Leads, PMO, QA, and other
stakeholders using agile methodologies (Scrum/Kanban). What we're
looking for Cloud: AWS (deployment pipelines,
monitoring/observability, core services) IaC: Terraform Containers:
Docker; Kubernetes (AWS EKS preferred) Automation/Scripting: Python
(primary), Bash (also used) Observability: Splunk
(logs/tracing/metrics), SignalFX (or similar) CI/CD & tooling:
Bitbucket, Bamboo, Jira (and related DevOps toolchain) OS: Linux
servers; macOS laptops What you’ll bring (required) BS/MS in
Computer Science (or related field), or equivalent practical
experience (MS preferred). 1 years experience in DevOps, cloud
operations, or systems administration (AWS preferred). Hands-on
experience with AWS, especially deployment pipelines and
monitoring/observability. Basic understanding of CI/CD concepts and
best practices; experience with Git-based workflows.
Programming/scripting experience in one or more of: Python, Bash,
Java, JavaScript, Go, Ruby. Solid understanding of Unix/Linux
fundamentals and troubleshooting in production-like environments.
Familiarity with modern container concepts (Docker); willingness to
learn Kubernetes/EKS deeply. Working knowledge of foundational
systems engineering concepts (load balancing, capacity, firewalls,
SSL). Strong communication skills (written and verbal), ability to
collaborate across teams, and comfort working in agile
environments. Self-driven, accountable, customer-focused mindset;
comfortable with ambiguity and changing priorities. Nice to have
AWS certification. Experience operating or administering Kubernetes
clusters (EKS or similar). IAM/Identity platform experience (Azure
AD, Okta, Auth0, Ping Identity). Experience with Windows
administration. Experience with distributed tracing and modern
observability practices. Leveling note This role is well-suited for
an early-career DevOps/Cloud Engineer who is eager to learn while
contributing to real-world IAM reliability, cloud infrastructure
operations, and release engineering.
