Full Job Description
We're looking for a Staff Platform/DevOps Engineer to join forces with our DevOps Lead and push our platform's delivery, automation, and observability across diverse deployment environments to the next level.We build B2B software for industrial customers. Reliability, traceability, and maintainability matter across the full lifecycle.You'll work closely with engineering to design and operate the pipelines, runtimes, and tooling that connect development to production. You'll take ownership of the CI/CD architecture, defining how code moves from commit to production safely and consistently. That includes managing the pipelines, shaping how and when to apply GitOps workflows and principles, and setting clear guardrails for rollback and change control.You'll also lead the observability program: operating and improving our current stack, defining what good telemetry means, and ensuring every service has actionable visibility and meaningful SLOs.As the architecture evolves, you'll help evaluate and introduce modern tools or practices that improve delivery speed, reliability, or traceability—always with a clear understanding of operational constraints and trade-offs. **What You'll Achieve:** **CI/CD:** Design, implement, and operate pipelines using GitHub Actions, Terraform, and Ansible. Shorten feedback cycles, ensure reproducibility, and codify rollback policies. **Lifecycle integration:** Ensure the full software lifecycle—from development to operations is supported with automation, validation, observability, and continuous improvement built-in. **GitOps:** Standardize repository topology, environment promotion, and secrets/drift handling. Document where GitOps fits best and where exceptions apply. **Runtime & deployments:** Operate and improve the runtime stack. Choose and implement rollout strategies (blue/green, canary, feature flags) according to risk and environment type. **Observability:** Collaborate with engineering teams to embed logging and metrics by default
