Senior DevOps Engineer

SCALIS matches relevant candidates to companies with a fully integrated AI-based Applicant Tracking System (ATS) and Job Board platform that redefines the standard approach to collecting and processing applicant information powered by a next-generation matching algorithm.

We are looking for an experienced and highly skilled Senior DevOps Engineer to join our dynamic team. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in infrastructure automation, cloud architecture, and modern DevOps practices, with deep expertise in AWS, Kubernetes, and Infrastructure as Code. As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will take a leadership role in designing, implementing, and maintaining our cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines across multiple environments.

If you are a motivated engineer with a passion for building robust, scalable, and secure infrastructure systems, we invite you to apply for this exciting opportunity. Join our team and contribute to the success of our innovative projects. We provide our team members with the freedom to bring in new ideas and strategies to help our business grow.

You will be joining as our second DevOps engineer (the team today is one Staff DevOps engineer) responsible for managing infrastructure across multiple AWS accounts, supporting microservices deployed on Kubernetes, and enabling rapid development velocity through modern GitOps practices. Our infrastructure is scaling rapidly as we expand our platform capabilities, presenting exciting challenges in multi-account management, automation, and platform reliability. We are hiring this role to reduce single-operator risk, share ownership, and scale ahead of growth—not just to fight fires. We value sustainable ways of working: ownership is shared across the team, and you are not expected to be a 24/7 single point of failure. As we grow, any future incident and on-call responsibilities will be designed around fair participation, low toil, and a healthy work-life balance. This role offers significant impact and growth opportunities as you help shape our infrastructure strategy and build world-class DevOps practices.
