CLA is growing and seeking to hire an experienced DevOps Solution Architect to join our talented Information Technology team. The position offers growth, flexibility and a collaborative work environment.

This role leads the architecture, implementation, and continuous improvement of CLA's DevOps capabilities, including CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, environment automation, and operational readiness for application and platform workloads. As a DevOps Solution Architect, you will design scalable delivery patterns, enable stable pre-production environments, oversee reliable releases into production, and champion a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement across development, QA, security, and IT operations teams.

This role combines solution architecture with hands-on DevOps engineering leadership across all CLA environments. In addition, this role helps set the strategy and vision for DevOps and platform engineering, ensuring secure, repeatable delivery, well-defined standards, and strong monitoring, tooling, and governance.

How you'll create opportunities in this DevOps Solution Architect role:

• Define target-state DevOps architecture and reference patterns for build, test, release, and run across application portfolios.
• Partner with product, development, QA, security, and operations stakeholders to translate business and non-functional requirements into delivery and reliability solutions.
• Define architecture and standards for CI/CD pipelines, artifact management, and release automation, including promotion controls, quality gates, deployment strategies (blue/green, canary, feature flags), and rollback.
• Architect and automate environment provisioning using infrastructure-as-code and configuration management; define secure standards for networking, identity, secrets, and configuration across environments.
• Define patterns and operational practices for containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes), including ingress, autoscaling, service discovery, and runtime security.
• Implement observability standards (monitoring, logging, tracing, alerting) and SLO/SLI reporting; lead incident response improvements and root-cause analysis to drive remediation through automation and architectural changes.
• Document reference architectures and standards; maintain runbooks, onboarding guides, and reusable pipeline/IaC templates to drive consistent adoption across teams.
• Ensure compliance with organizational policies and regulatory requirements through DevSecOps practices, secure configurations, evidence collection, and automated controls (including policy-as-code where applicable).
• Provide technical leadership for DevOps initiatives by prioritizing architectural work, identifying risks and bottlenecks, and aligning roadmaps across teams and projects.

What you will need:

• 6+ years of relevant experience in DevOps, platform engineering, SRE, or cloud engineering, including architecture and delivery leadership.
• Bachelor's degree or a combination of relevant experience and training may be considered in lieu of a degree.

Technical Competencies:

• Strong proficiency with Git-based version control, pull request workflows, and command-line tooling.
• Proficiency in scripting and automation (Bash, PowerShell) and declarative configuration (YAML).
• Working knowledge of at least one modern programming language (e.g., Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or C#) for building automation, tooling, and integrations.
• Experience designing and operating solutions on cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, and/or Google Cloud Platform).
• Proficiency with CI/CD platforms (Azure Pipelines, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI) and pipeline design for multi-environment promotion.
• Hands-on experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), including deployment patterns and operational considerations.
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code and configuration management (e.g., Terraform, Bicep/ARM, CloudFormation, Ansible, Chef, Puppet).
• Familiarity with agile planning and work management tools (Azure Boards, Jira, or GitLab Issues) and tracking delivery metrics.
• Strong understanding of cloud fundamentals (networking, identity, security, and resiliency) and container-based runtime architectures.
• Solid grasp of CI/CD and DevSecOps concepts, including automated testing, security scanning, secrets management, and deployment strategies.
