- Automate developer workflows to maximize productivity
- Incorporate feature management tools (e.g. LaunchDarkly) for safe, gradual rollouts
- Leverage AI-assisted DevOps tooling to accelerate pipeline creation, testing, and monitoring
- Embed compliance and security controls directly into the CI/CD workflows
Requirements
- 5+ years in DevOps or platform engineering
- Experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure cloud platforms
- Expertise in CI/CD tooling and infrastructure as code
- Familiarity with feature flagging/feature management platforms (e.g. LaunchDarkly, Unleash, etc.)
