Staff DevOps Engineer, Delivery Loop

The role

This individual contributor role sits within the developer productivity group and reports to a senior engineering manager. The person shapes how software is built, tested, and shipped across the company, from pipeline design through production rollout. Impact comes through technical guidance and cross-team collaboration rather than direct people management.

What you would do

• Set the long-term direction for how code moves from merge to production, covering pipelines through rollout.
• Maintain and advance the GitOps delivery platform so it stays dependable and approachable for engineers.
• Build staged-release mechanisms such as gradual rollouts, parallel environment swaps, feature toggles, and automatic reversal.
• Guide architectural choices across teams to raise engineering output and strengthen system uptime.
• Create and promote shared standards for CI/CD, release management, and environment setup.
• Locate friction points in the engineering workflow and remove them to sharply shorten delivery time.
• Develop internal tooling that streamlines testing and deployment workflows.
• Strengthen reliability through telemetry, alerting, and learning from incidents.
• Coach engineers and multiply team impact through design reviews and partnership across groups.

What they asked for

• Undergraduate degree or an equivalent practical background.
• Seven-plus years working in DevOps, site reliability, or infrastructure roles.
• Strong written and spoken English for everyday professional work.
• Solid command of container orchestration and GitOps practices, with hands-on use of ArgoCD-style tooling.
• A track record of building and scaling CI/CD pipelines across large engineering organizations.
• Comfortable tackling loosely defined, multi-team problems and converting them into concrete plans.
• Proven results in raising engineer throughput, uptime, and capacity for system growth.
• Working knowledge of AWS, Docker, and distributed system design.
• Experience rolling out changes gradually via canary releases, blue/green deployments, or feature toggles.
• Proficiency automating infrastructure through code using tools like Pulumi or Terraform.

Nice to have

• Openness to adopting AI tools and newer technologies to speed up team work.
