About the Role

This is a pivotal, contract-to-hire role for an experienced DevOps engineer who thrives on building highly automated, secure, and scalable infrastructure from the ground up (0->

1). As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will be the architect and guardian of our engineering foundation. Your mission is to make our developers faster and our platform safer by embracing a rigorous "Everything as Code" philosophy. We are looking for a hands-on expert passionate about moving beyond basic cloud provisioning to implement a comprehensive "Toolchain-as-Code" strategy. You will be instrumental in leveraging Terraform providers to automate the configuration, governance, and integration of our entire technology ecosystem.

Responsibilities

• Drive "Toolchain-as-Code" Automation : Take ownership of automating our entire third-party ecosystem using Terraform providers. You will manage complex configurations and ensure our entire toolchain is declarative and version-controlled. This includes :
• Identity & Access (Auth0 / FGA) : Architecting B2B organizations, defining SAML / OIDC enterprise connections (including Home Realm Discovery), and implementing security policies as code.
• Feature Management (LaunchDarkly) : Defining project structures, implementing fine-grained RBAC (teams and custom roles), configuring environment safeguards (e.G., mandatory approvals), and managing flag architectures declaratively.
• Ecosystem Integration : Automating the provisioning and configuration of Databricks, Grafana, Temporal, Ably, and GitHub.
• Architect and Own the AWS Platform : Define and manage our entire AWS infrastructure declaratively using both Terraform and the AWS CDK. This includes architecting the Landing Zone, organizational structure, monitoring / logging infrastructure, and workload accounts.
• Build the Developer Paved Road : Create and maintain the "paved road" for our engineering team. You will design, build, and optimize automated CI / CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, manage our container runtime environment (Docker), and ensure developers have a smooth, self-service path to production.
• Champion Reliability and Observability (SRE) : Implement and manage our monitoring and alerting systems using Grafana and OpenTelemetry. You will work with development teams to establish Service Level Objectives (SLOs) and promote a culture of reliability.
• Lead Technical Compliance (SOC 2) : Serve as the key technical leader for our SOC 2 readiness. You will translate audit requirements into automated technical controls, harden our AWS environment, apply the principle of least privilege across all systems, and secure data throughout the platform.
