Role: Senior DevOps Engineer, onsite in Irving, TX- Full-time
Job description: 426688/CO
Must-Have Technical/Functional Skills
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior DevOps Engineer with deep, hands-on expertise in building and operating enterprise-grade CI/CD platforms, cloud infrastructure, and developer tooling at global scale. In this role, you will own the design, automation, and reliability of the software delivery pipeline - enabling engineering squads to ship faster, safer, and with greater confidence. You will bring a strong platform engineering mindset, infrastructure-as-code discipline, and a proven track record of reducing toil, improving system resilience, and embedding security into every stage of the software lifecycle in a regulated financial services environment.
Roles & Responsibilities:
Own the CI/CD Platform Design, build, and continuously improve enterprise CI/CD pipelines. Ensure pipelines are fast, reliable, secure, and scalable across dozens of engineering squads and technology stacks.
Architect & Manage Cloud Infrastructure Provision, manage, and optimize cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP using infrastructure-as-code. Enforce cost controls, security guardrails, and operational best practices at scale.
Drive Platform Reliability & SRE Practices Define and own SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets for platform services. Lead incident response, conduct blameless post-mortems, and implement systemic fixes to eliminate recurring failures.
Embed Security into the Delivery Pipeline Implement DevSecOps practices - integrating SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning, and secrets detection into every pipeline stage. Ensure compliance with enterprise security standards and regulatory requirements.
Standardize Container & Kubernetes Operations Own the Kubernetes and OpenShift platform strategy - cluster lifecycle management, namespace governance, RBAC, networking policies, and workload autoscaling.
Enable Developer Productivity Build internal developer platforms (IDP), self-service tooling, golden path templates, and reusable infrastructure components that reduce friction and accelerate engineering teams.
Lead Observability & Capacity Planning Design and maintain a unified observability stack covering metrics, logging, and distributed tracing. Drive proactive capacity planning and performance optimization across all environments.
Champion Infrastructure as Code & GitOps Establish IaC standards across the organization. Drive GitOps adoption for all infrastructure and application configuration changes, ensuring auditability and repeatability.
Mentor & Lead Technical Direction Define DevOps standards, conduct platform design reviews, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate with architects, security teams, and engineering leads to align platform strategy with business goals.
