We are looking for a Senior DevOps Automation Engineer with deep, hands-on technical expertise to join our team.
In this role, you will be the driving force behind our continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, complex system automation, and automated container workloads. This role has a heavy emphasis on Python development for DevOps and automation. You will design and optimize complex workflows, write robust automation scripts, manage self-hosted runner infrastructure at scale, and implement automation utilizing containerized technologies and Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Simply listing tools on your resume is not enough — we require a strong engineer with a proven track record of using Python as their core language to automate infrastructure and pipelines.
