Senior DevOps Engineer (Cloud-Native, AI-Driven Platform)

TLDR

Build cloud infrastructure for a multi-tenant SaaS ecosystem across AWS and Azure, using Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code, and AI-assisted tooling.

How You’ll Have Impact

  • Build the Platform Behind the Platform: Design and evolve the cloud infrastructure that powers our multi-tenant SaaS ecosystem. 

  • Enable Engineering Velocity: Improve CI/CD pipelines, developer experience, and deployment automation. 

  • Drive Reliability & Observability: Ensure high availability, performance, and real-time visibility across distributed systems. 

  • Architect for Scale: Design infrastructure that supports growth, AI workloads, and distributed services. 

  • Champion Infrastructure as Code: Everything reproducible, versioned, and automated. 

  • Embed Security by Design: Implement DevSecOps best practices across the delivery lifecycle. 

What You’ll Do

  • Design, implement, and maintain cloud infrastructure in AWS and/or Azure. 

  • Manage and optimize containerized workloads using Docker and Kubernetes. 

  • Build and evolve CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines, GitLab CI or equivalent). 

  • Implement Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or similar). 

  • Ensure high availability, disaster recovery, and backup strategies. 

  • Improve monitoring, logging, and alerting systems (ELK stack, Grafana dashboards and alerting, Azure Monitor / Log Analytics, Amazon CloudWatch and other observability tools). 

  • Operate, monitor, and tune Microsoft SQL Server databases (performance, backups, high availability). 

  • Optimize system performance, scalability, and cost efficiency. 

  • Collaborate closely with backend engineers (Java / Kotlin, C#, Node.js) to improve deployment patterns and runtime reliability. 

  • Automate operational processes and reduce manual intervention. 

  • Leverage AI-assisted tooling (Claude, Codex, automation agents, anomaly detection systems) to improve operational efficiency. 

  • Participate in architectural discussions to ensure infrastructure scalability and resilience. 

You don’t just maintain infrastructure — you engineer the reliability of the business. 

Cloud Building Blocks: AWS & Azure

We run workloads on both AWS and Azure. We are looking for solid hands-on experience with IaaS and core managed cloud services on at least one of them — knowing the equivalent on the other cloud is a strong plus. These are the building blocks you’ll work with: 

  • Virtual machines & autoscaling — Azure: Azure Virtual Machines, VM Scale Sets | AWS: Amazon EC2, Auto Scaling Groups 

  • Virtual networking — Azure: VNet, NSGs, VNet Integration, Private Endpoints | AWS: VPC, Security Groups, PrivateLink 

  • L7 load balancing + WAF — Azure: Application Gateway + WAF | AWS: Application Load Balancer + AWS WAF 

  • Web app / API hosting — Azure: App Service | AWS: Elastic Beanstalk / App Runner 

  • Managed Kubernetes — Azure: AKS | AWS: EKS 

  • Message queues — Azure: Azure Storage — Queues | AWS: Amazon SQS 

  • Object storage — Azure: Azure Storage — Blobs | AWS: Amazon S3 

  • In-memory cache — Azure: Azure Cache for Redis | AWS: Amazon ElastiCache (Redis / Valkey) 

  • Managed SQL Server — Azure: Azure SQL / SQL Managed Instance | AWS: Amazon RDS for SQL Server 

  • Workload identity (secretless auth) — Azure: Managed Identity + DefaultAzureCredential | AWS: IAM Roles (instance profiles, IRSA) + SDK default credential chain 

  • Secrets & keys — Azure: Key Vault | AWS: AWS Secrets Manager / KMS 

  • Transactional email — Azure: Azure Communication Services (Email) | AWS: Amazon SES 

  • Per-environment configuration — Azure: App Settings | AWS: Systems Manager Parameter Store / AppConfig 

  • Logs, metrics & alerts — Azure: Log Analytics / Azure Monitor | AWS: Amazon CloudWatch 

  • Runtime diagnostics — Azure: Kudu / App Service diagnostics | AWS: CloudWatch Logs Insights / SSM Session Manager 

  • 5+ years of experience in DevOps / Cloud Engineering roles. 

  • Strong hands-on experience with AWS or Azure — experience with both is a strong plus. 

  • Deep understanding of containerization and distributed systems, with production experience in Kubernetes (required). 

  • Proven experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines, GitLab CI or similar). 

  • Experience implementing Infrastructure as Code. 

  • Hands-on experience with Microsoft SQL Server (administration, performance tuning, backup/restore, high availability). 

  • Experience with Redis in production (caching, session storage, pub/sub). 

  • Strong knowledge of networking, security, and system architecture. 

  • Experience working in high-availability SaaS environments. 

  • Solid understanding of observability, monitoring, and incident management, including Grafana dashboards and alerting. 

  • Automation-first mindset. 

  • Experience collaborating with backend engineering teams. 

  • Languages: fluent Spanish and professional English (both required). 

We don’t expect you to master every tool listed above, but we do expect solid hands-on experience with at least one technology in each area: cloud provider (AWS / Azure), containers & orchestration, CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, observability, and databases & caching.
