The Principal DevOps Engineer owns the clarity, reliability, security, and repeatability of how our systems are built, deployed, and operated. This role designs and maintains automated, scalable, secure, and cost-effective infrastructure across production, development, and test environments. 

This is a deeply hands-on role responsible for executing and improving deployments, observability, and core operational practices to reduce risk caused by opaque processes, undocumented knowledge, and single points of failure.

**Can be hybrid or remote**

Position Responsibilities

• The DevOps Engineer Lead transforms deployment and infrastructure from siloed knowledge into understandable, well-documented, and observable systems that engineers can confidently use and improve. 
• The role leads through practice by mentoring engineers, establishing standards, improving processes, and removing operational obstacles.
• Working independently and in close partnership with Engineering, this role reduces operational burden, increases delivery confidence, and builds platforms that scale reliably.
• This role provides technical leadership through ownership and execution and does not include formal people-management responsibilities.
• Platform, Deployment, and Operations Ownership 
  • Own and execute deployment processes end-to-end, ensuring they are secure, repeatable, transparent, and well documented with clear failure signals and automated rollback strategies. 
  • Design, build, and maintain automated, scalable, secure, and cost-effective infrastructure across production, development, and test environments 
  • Build, operate, and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines with clear failure signals, recovery paths, and rollback strategies 
  • Own application-level networking and infrastructure concerns, including network configuration, access controls, and connectivity required to support development and production environments. 
  • Own all infrastructure and networking concerns, including the configuration and troubleshooting of site-tosite VPNs, firewall rules, and secure connectivity required for county-level integrations and remote access. 
  • Own day-to-day DevOps operations, including infrastructure health, monitoring, logging, patching, security posture, and maintenance, ensuring systems are observable and failures are diagnosable through strong metrics, logging, root-cause visibility, and effective incident response.
• Security, Reliability, and Standards
  • Access Analysis & Least Privilege: Perform regular access analysis across all systems, managing secrets, credentials, and IAM roles to ensure strict adherence to security best practices. 
  • Audit Readiness & Evidence: Proactively support compliance requirements (such as SOC 2) by maintaining auditable operational practices and generating technical evidence/reports for software and security audits. 
  • Vulnerability Management: Enforce security posture through proactive patching, encryption, and vulnerability management across web servers, load balancers, and data stores
• Enablement, Leadership, and Continuous Improvement
  • Partner with software engineers during deployments and operational work to build shared understanding and enable safe, independent troubleshooting 
  • Deploy, manage, and scale web and application servers, load balancers, queues, and caches through automated, repeatable workflows. 
  • Identify, prioritize, and deliver improvements that reduce operational risk, remove bottlenecks, improve efficiency, and increase delivery confidence 
  • Document systems and processes with a focus on explaining both how they work and why 
  • Take proactive ownership of workload while ensuring strong coordination and transparency across the team 
  • Perform other job-related duties as assigned to support departmental goals and continuous improvement initiatives.

 
Required Skills

• Strong ability to understand systems end-to-end, including application architecture, infrastructure, and deployment workflows 
• Proven ability to troubleshoot complex issues across infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and runtime environments 
• Solid understanding of observability, including metrics, logging, alerting, and root-cause analysis 
• Strong security mindset, including secrets management, access controls, encryption, patching, and vulnerability management 
• Deep understanding of network topology, including the ability to configure and troubleshoot Site-to-Site VPNs, firewall rules, and hybrid-cloud connectivity. 
• Deeply hands-on approach combined with strategic thinking and sound technical judgment 
• Ability to confidently assess situations and articulate clear recommendations (“what we should do and why”) 
• Strong ownership mindset with the ability to prioritize work that reduces risk, improves reliability, and drives continuous improvement 
• Ability to collaborate effectively with software engineers and communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences 
• Ability to lead through influence by pairing, mentoring, documenting, and establishing practical standards. 
• Comfort operating in environments where structure must be built, not inherited, with a focus on clarity and pragmatic solutions

 
Education and Experience

• 6-10 years of hands-on experience in DevOps, infrastructure, or platform engineering supporting production systems 
• Advanced programming experience (Python, Go, Ruby, etc.) 
• Proficiency with Linux/Unix administration, scripting, and programming (bash, Python, Ruby, etc.) 
• Deep hands-on expertise with core DevOps technologies such as Docker, Terraform, Ansible, and CloudFormation 
• Strong experience building and improving CI/CD workflows for provisioning, deployment, and scaling. 
• Hands-on experience managing application-level networking, VPN configurations, load balancers, and connectivity required for secure, distributed environments. 
• Experience implementing test automation and use of AI-assisted tooling to improve deployment quality, reliability, and operational efficiency 
• Strong troubleshooting and monitoring skills for Linux operating systems 
• Hands-on experience implementing monitoring and log aggregation platforms (ELK, Graylog, Graphite, Prometheus, etc.) 
• Experience deploying and managing web/ application servers, load balancers, queues, and caches; proven ability to scale and build resiliency into web architectures.
• Proficiency with source control systems and IaC to create scriptable, repeatable processes 
• Must be authorized to work in the U.S.

 
Nice to Have

• AWS experience (EC2, S3, Route 53, VPC, IAM, EKS) 
• Database administration experience 
• Experience supporting or deploying 12-Factor applications
