Job Description
Remote DevOps Engineer – Washington (Remote)
🔥 Shape the Backbone of Modern Engineering
Picture this: your automation pipelines unlock hours for engineers every week. Your monitoring dashboards spot issues before users ever notice. Here, your expertise isn’t just valuable—it’s central to how our team builds, ships, and supports scalable solutions across North America.
🚀 Why This DevOps Role Matters
Everything we deliver—new features, seamless deployments, rapid incident response—rests on the foundation you’ll help refine. In this remote DevOps engineer role, you’re not just supporting infrastructure; you’re empowering people. Think fewer bottlenecks, faster feedback loops, and product experiences that simply work—every time, for every user.
🌍 Where You’ll Make Your Mark
- Automation as Impact: Your CI/CD workflows don’t just deploy code—they empower developers to focus on building, not firefighting.
- Reliability at Scale: It’s your architecture and monitoring that keep us resilient, even when usage spikes or issues arise at 3 AM.
- Security as a Given: You’ll weave security best practices into every stage of our deployment lifecycle, protecting customer trust.
- Collaboration Across Time Zones: You’ll partner with distributed teams using Slack, Jira, and GitHub to unblock progress wherever it’s needed most.
🛠️ What You’ll Own (And Elevate)
- 🛡️ Build Self-Healing Systems: Architect solutions that recover gracefully—so downtime becomes a story of the past.
- 🚦 Automate Everything Possible: Streamline repetitive processes with robust CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and smart configuration management.
- 🔎 Detect, Prevent, Resolve: Develop proactive monitoring and alerting so issues surface before customers notice a glitch.
- 🔐 Integrate Security: Champion secure software delivery, ensuring compliance and data protection are never afterthoughts.
- 🤝 Enable Engineers: Create internal documentation, onboarding guides, and automation scripts that remove friction from every workflow.
💡 How Your Work Drives Success
- You’ll empower engineering teams to deliver features users depend on—from high-availability APIs to seamless mobile experiences.
- Your incident response playbooks won’t just minimize downtime—they’ll foster trust across our client base.
- Every workflow you improve will ripple out, giving designers, product managers, and QA more time to focus on what they do best.
🏗️ Tools & Tech Stack You’ll Champion
- Cloud Infrastructure: AWS, Azure, or GCP—pick the right tool for the job and shape best practices for remote deployment and scaling.
- IaC & Automation: Terraform, Ansible, or similar, automating everything from resource provisioning to environment replication.
- CI/CD Pipelines: GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or CircleCI—your workflows will set the pace for fast, reliable delivery.
- Monitoring & Alerting: Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana—your dashboards empower the team to spot (and solve) issues early.
- Collaboration Stack: Zoom, Slack, Confluence, and Jira—so every update, fix, and deployment is shared, visible, and celebrated.
🧭 What Sets You Apart
- You simplify complex infrastructure topics—whether over Slack huddles or a well-crafted documentation page.
- Your troubleshooting isn’t just technical—it’s empathetic, keeping end-user impact in focus at every turn.
- You’re energized by tackling ambiguity, picking up new tools, and collaborating across distributed teams.
- Process isn’t busywork; it’s your way to create clarity and confidence in everything we ship.
- You bring a growth mindset, always learning and teaching others, whether it’s a new security protocol or a shortcut in Bash.
🌱 Grow With Us—Your Experience Matters

- Hands-on cloud infrastructure expertise (AWS, Azure, GCP).
- Comfort scripting in Python, Bash, or similar.
- Real experience with infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD.
- You’ve managed incident response, rolled out postmortems, and translated lessons learned into better systems.
(And if you’ve mentored, taught, or built communities—tell us about it. We’re big believers in shared growth.)
🌐 Remote-First Culture, Local Impact
