Senior DevOps, Platform Engineer

Dream Big. Build Fast

Glendale, AZ

$129K - $166K/yr

Full-time

Posted 7 days ago


Key responsibilities

  • Own all CI/CD pipelines across every application, ensuring they are consistent, documented, and not dependent on tribal knowledge.

  • Manage multi-cloud resource provisioning, secrets, credentials, and access using infrastructure as code and enterprise secrets management platforms.

  • Own SLA commitments for all production systems, define and maintain on-call rotation, and implement observability tools to monitor system health and uptime.


Job description

Role Overview
This is a dedicated platform ownership role. You will take full end-to-end responsibility for the

DevOps and infrastructure layer across all products. You will be the single point of accountability

for pipelines, environments, credentials, deployment reliability, financial cost governance, and

compliance posture. Beyond keeping the lights on, you will proactively leverage AI-driven tooling to

improve DevOps workflows and continuously raise the bar on what reliable infrastructure means.

About the role

You will own the complete infrastructure and DevOps layer for a growing SaaS company

running across multi-cloud infrastructure across major cloud providers — partnering directly

with the Lead Engineer and a distributed offshore engineering team. This is not a support role.

You are the primary point of accountability for pipeline reliability, credential hygiene,

observability, cloud cost governance, and compliance posture. You also serve as the company’s

infrastructure voice in financial and compliance conversations, owning the data that informs

leadership decisions on cloud investment and risk.

What you'll do

CI/CD & Deployment

Own all CI/CD pipelines across every application — consistent, documented, and not

dependent on tribal knowledge

Manage multi-cloud resource provisioning with Terraform or equivalent IaC tooling — version-

controlled and fully reproducible

Own secrets, credentials, and access management across all environments using enterprise

secrets management platforms

Set up repo creation, branching standards, and tooling for the distributed engineering team

Own cross-platform mobile application build pipelines (iOS and Android) for both app stores

Support the work, deployment, and maintenance of our active-active multi-cloud platform

Observability & Uptime (SLA: 99.99%)

Own SLA commitments for all production systems — 99.99% uptime target with documented

contracts and breach escalation paths

Define and maintain on-call rotation, and incident severity matrix

Maintain and evolve runbooks for all critical failure scenarios — executable by anyone on the

team, not just the author

Implement and operate the full observability stack: enterprise observability tooling, centralized

log aggregation, real-time alerting, and synthetic monitoring for all customer-critical paths

Own customer-facing and internal system health dashboards — surfacing uptime, error rates,

latency, and throughput in real time

Financial Operations & Cost Governance

Build and maintain FinOps dashboards surfacing cloud spend, resource utilization, and cost-per-

environment breakdowns

Implement financial controls: budget alerts, tagging enforcement, reserved instance planning,

and rightsizing across major cloud providers

Own the monthly cloud cost review process — flag anomalies, model savings scenarios, and

present findings to leadership

Track and report FinOps KPIs: cloud cost as a percentage of revenue, waste percentage, and

savings realized

Security & Compliance (SOC 2 / ISO 27001)

Own the infrastructure contribution to SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 — evidence collection,

control mapping, and audit readiness at all times

Conduct regular access reviews and enforce least-privilege IAM across all cloud environments

Work directly with the compliance team to respond to auditor requests, close findings, and

maintain continuous compliance posture

Implement and monitor infrastructure security controls: network segmentation, encryption at

rest and in transit, vulnerability scanning, and drift detection

AI-Driven Process Improvements

Identify DevOps workflows where AI tooling can drive measurable efficiency gains — pipeline

generation, intelligent incident detection, and automated runbook execution

Evaluate and pilot AI-assisted tools for infrastructure: anomaly detection on metrics streams,

LLM-assisted root cause analysis, and AI-generated IaC scaffolding

Document and share findings with the engineering team — serve as the infrastructure voice in

the company’s AI-first engineering culture

Qualifications

Hands-on experience with major cloud providers across multi-cloud environments —

provisioning, networking, IAM, and cost management

Terraform or equivalent IaC tooling — you write it, maintain it, and own it

CI/CD pipeline design and ownership using modern CI/CD platforms — you design it, maintain

it, and own it

Confident with .NET / C# application deployments

Secrets and credential management at scale using enterprise secrets management platforms

Multi-app, multi-environment deployment pipelines with consistent standards

Mobile build pipeline ownership for cross-platform mobile applications (iOS and Android),

including app store deployment automation

Production observability engineering: APM tooling, log aggregation, alerting pipelines, and

synthetic monitoring

SLA ownership experience — on-call processes, incident management, and runbook authorship

Demonstrated experience with FinOps practices: cloud cost dashboards, tagging, rightsizing,

and budget governance

Familiarity with SOC 2 or ISO 27001 control environments — evidence collection, access

reviews, and audit support

Comfortable working directly with a distributed offshore engineering team

Hands-on experience designing or operating active-active, multi-cloud production

environments — this is a core platform requirement, not a stretch goal

Proficiency in Go for infrastructure tooling, automation, and custom operators/controllers

Strong Linux shell scripting (bash/sh) for automation, system administration, and pipeline

scripting

Nice to have

Exposure to AI-assisted DevOps tooling — anomaly detection, LLM-assisted incident response,

or AI-generated IaC

SaaS product background, ideally in a multi-tenant environment

Experience with FinOps tooling: Azure and AWS Cost management features

AWS Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional, Microsoft Certified: DevOps Engineer Expert,

and Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA)
