The Software Engineer - DevOps Role

As a Software Enginer - DevOps in the Platform Engineering team, we build a Kubernetes-based platform on AWS that enables R&D to work in a ‘production-like’ environment, develop, test, and ship faster. We design and operate SaaS delivery pipelines end-to-end, using Git-based workflows and AI-assisted tools to automate build, test, and deployment of containerized services.

You will be part of a critical team focused on developing and maintaining CI/CD solutions for development and SRE teams, leveraging cloud-native technologies, automation, and emerging AI capabilities in the AWS ecosystem. We are building the next generation of intelligent pipelines toward a scalable SaaS platform, aiming to improve efficiency across the organization through automation, self-service, and data-driven insights.

It is an exciting time to join the team as we are designing new internal processes, experimenting with AI-driven developer productivity tools, and running POCs on modern platform engineering solutions.

We believe in and support a healthy work-life balance by enabling flexible work arrangements. Each team member can play to their strengths while learning, contributing, and growing as part of a collaborative team.

Here’s how you’ll be making an impact:

We’re looking for a teammate with:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science/Engineering or equivalent experience.
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.

• Practical experience using AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude).
• Good understanding of GitOps and CI/CD practices.
• Good communication skills and ability to work across teams.
