POSITION DETAILS:

Hours: 8:00am to 5:00pm, Monday to Friday

Salary Range: $80,000 - $110,000

Location: Burnaby, BC, Canada - Hybrid

This is a new position.

ROLE OVERVIEW:

The DevOps Engineer sits within the Asset business unit and owns how Asset products are built, released, and run. The role is not part of the central Platform Engineering team; it works with that team continuously — adopting the shared platform’s golden path for infrastructure as code, CI/CD, cloud identity, and observability — but is accountable to Asset BU delivery. The focus is business-unit-specific DevOps: release and deployment management, environment ownership, pipeline migration, and operational support for Asset applications.

ORGANIZATIONAL RELATIONSHIP:

• Reports to: Director, AI Strategy and Development (Asset BU)

• Part of: Asset BU engineering organisation

• Works closely with: Asset BU product management, development, and support teams; central Platform Engineering; Information Security

• Direct reports: None

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Own release engineering for Asset BU products — build and deployment pipelines, release branching and versioning, release scheduling with product and support, production deployments, and rollback.

• Provision and maintain Asset BU environments (development, test, staging, production) as code, keeping them consistent and reproducible.

• Manage the Asset BU’s infrastructure-as-code stacks and configuration using the platform’s shared components, and bring hand-created resources under management.

• Lead the Asset BU’s migration of repositories and pipelines from Azure DevOps to GitHub Actions, adopting the platform’s reusable workflows.

• Apply the company identity and secrets model to Asset BU workloads — Microsoft Entra ID and RBAC, managed identities, OIDC federation for CI, and Azure Key Vault; no long-lived credentials.

• Provide operational support for Asset applications: observability and alerting, deployment and release troubleshooting, participation in incident response, and follow-up remediation.

• Act as the Asset BU’s point of contact with central Platform Engineering — onboard Asset applications onto shared services, adopt standards and policy packs, and escalate gaps rather than building a parallel stack.

• Provide the delivery and deployment foundations for the BU’s AI initiatives, including environments, pipelines, secrets, and cost visibility for AI services.

• Write and maintain runbooks, release procedures, and decision records for Asset BU systems in Univerus Hub.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (KPIS):

• Release predictability — planned Asset BU releases delivered in the agreed window

• Deployment frequency and lead time from merge to production

• Change failure rate and mean time to restore for Asset BU services

• Progress against the Asset BU Azure DevOps → GitHub migration plan (repositories and pipelines migrated vs. target)

• Environment reliability — reduction in environment-related delivery blockers and configuration drift

• Compliance with platform standards and policy checks across Asset BU stacks; no long-lived credentials in use

• Currency and usability of release runbooks and documentation in Univerus Hub

REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES:

• Hands-on ownership of release and deployment processes for a production application

• Confident with one major cloud (Microsoft Azure preferred; AWS or GCP transferable) and with infrastructure as code (Pulumi, Terraform, Bicep, or CloudFormation)

• Proven experience building and debugging CI/CD pipelines in Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar

• Able to read and write code in a general-purpose language — TypeScript, Python, Go, or C#

• Strong working knowledge of containers and Git; able to diagnose a failing build or deployment methodically

• Working understanding of cloud identity and secrets management — Entra ID / RBAC, managed identities, Key Vault, least privilege

• Comfortable operating across an organisational boundary: adopting standards set by a central team, applying them locally, and pushing back constructively where they do not fit

• Clear written communication — runbooks and documentation usable by others under pressure

• Nice to have: Pulumi and policy as code; Backstage or another developer portal; migrating off Azure DevOps; Azure Container Apps or Kubernetes; FinOps / Azure cost management; exposure to deploying AI or ML services; Azure certification (AZ-400, AZ-104, AZ-305)

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

• Approximately 3–5 years in DevOps, SRE, platform, or infrastructure-focused development

• Degree or diploma in computer science, software engineering, or a related discipline — or equivalent practical experience

• Azure certification (AZ-400, AZ-104, AZ-305) considered an asset, not a requirement

WHAT WE OFFER:

• Health and Dental
• EFAP
• RRSP Matching
• Generous Paid Time Off
• Flexible Work Environment
• Education Reimbursement Program
