DevOps Engineer

The DevOps Engineer is responsible for the design, development, and lifecycle management of automation and integration solutions across Alarm.com's cloud infrastructure and application platforms.

This role works closely with Software Engineering, Quality Engineering, Cloud Operations, Security, and Release Management teams to onboard and support applications throughout the full software development lifecycle. The position combines hands-on engineering with operational responsibility to ensure the availability, performance, scalability, and reliability of Alarm.com's cloud platforms and applications.

• Own the observability onboarding process for new applications — implementing metrics collection via Telegraf, OpenTelemetry, or native cloud sources, routing metrics through Prometheus into Grafana, and managing Grafana alerting and PagerDuty integrations via Terraform.
• Participate in on-call rotations and incident response to maintain the stability and performance of production services.
• Develop a deep understanding of the architecture and operational characteristics of the Alarm.com cloud platform and implement solutions that improve system reliability, performance, and predictability.
• Evaluate, architect, and implement infrastructure solutions and migrate on-premises workloads to hyperscaler environments including AWS and Azure.
• Troubleshoot infrastructure and application issues across development, staging, and production environments.
• Collaborate with Cloud Engineering, Software Engineering, and Quality Engineering teams to improve operational efficiency and system observability.
• Develop and maintain operational runbooks and documentation to support platform health and stability.
• Support application deployments and improvements across the full software development lifecycle.
• Enable automation and operational improvements using scripting languages and modern DevOps tooling.
• Other duties as assigned.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field preferred.
• Minimum 3 years of DevOps or cloud infrastructure engineering experience.
• Hands-on experience with cloud and virtualization technologies including VMware, AWS, and Azure.
• Working knowledge of Windows and Linux operating systems in enterprise environments.
• Experience with configuration management and infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, Ansible/AWX, and Puppet.
• Experience with scripting or programming languages such as Bash, Python, Go, C#, and PowerShell.
• Experience supporting operational processes including multi-tiered escalation and on-call procedures.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps tooling including GitHub Actions, Octopus Deploy, Atlassian tools, Git, and ArgoCD.
• Familiarity with server monitoring and application performance monitoring solutions such as Telegraf, Prometheus, Grafana, PagerDuty, OpenTelemetry, New Relic, Dynatrace, and AppDynamics.
• Familiarity with secrets and artifact management technologies including Vault and Artifactory.
• Familiarity with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes (K8s), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and Rancher.
• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a team environment.
