Full Job Description
The Role

The Veeva PLM team is seeking a Principal DevOpsEngineer to design and build our next-gen infrastructure on AWS. Lead the migration of our platform and create a new, scalable environment from scratch. You'll have complete ownership over tooling and the CI/CD pipeline in a startup-like setting. This is for a hands-on, self-starter who thrives on balancing performance, cost, and reliability.

What You'll Do
    • Lead the architectural vision. You'll provide deep expertise in cloud architecture, design patterns, and modern programming to build a highly scalable and reliable infrastructure.
    • Drive DevOps best practices. You'll implement a robust Infrastructure as Code (IaC) strategy, using tools like Terraform and Ansible to manage, deploy, and scale our infrastructure.
    • Build the CI/CD pipeline. You'll design and manage end-to-end CI/CD workflows, automating processes to make our development lifecycle across Development, QA, Stage and production deployments more efficient and seamless.
    • Ensure platform reliability. You'll focus on the core pillars of reliability-durability, availability, performance, and correctness-to minimize the risk of failures.
    • Shape the future of our stack. You'll recommend and implement architectural enhancements, security policies, and new methodologies that will define how we operate.

Requirements
    • Experienced DevOps Professional: You have at least 5 years of hands-on experience in a DevOps role, with a strong focus on automation, tooling, and building distributed, scalable systems.
    • AWS Expertise: You have extensive experience in designing and implementing deployment architectures within the AWS cloud environment. You have a deep understanding of core AWS services like VPC, EKS, EC2, IAM, S3, and more.
    • Containerization & Orchestration: You have hands-on experience designing and deploying applications using Kubernetes and other container technologies.
    • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): You are skilled in using IaC tools like Terraform or Ansible.
    • CI/CD & Git: You are an expert in GitLab and have experience with continuous integration tools like Jenkins or GitLab CI/CD.
    • Monitoring & Observability: You have solid understanding with monitoring frameworks for tracking system health and performance. Experience with Grafana, Prometheus, and Elasticsearch is a plus.
    • Applicants must have the unrestricted right to work in the United States. Veeva will not provide sponsorship at this time

Nice to Have
    • Proficiency in scripting languages like Bash or Groovy.
    • Experience with observability tools (Grafana, Prometheus, Elasticsearch).
    • Knowledge of artifact management solutions (Nexus, ECR).
    • Familiarity with code validation and linting tools (Sonar).

Perks & Benefits
    • Medical, dental, vision, and basic life insurance
    • Flexible PTO and company paid holidays
    • Retirement programs
    • 1% charitable giving program

Compensation
    • Base pay: $150,000 - $300,000

Work Where It's Best for You

Work Anywhere means you can work in an office or at home on any given day. It's about getting the work done in the way and place that works best for each person. This applies across all locations and departments.

Work Anywhere does not mean work at any time. We have predictable core hours where employees are generally available for meetings and collaboration. Employees are focused and available during core hours.

We invest in our offices to make them places where our employees like to go. If you work in the office three or more days a week, you will have a dedicated office workspace. Our offices function as hubs to draw people in, create social bonds, and where random connections and mixing of ideas happen. We're investing more in offices, culture, and offsite meetings, not less.

Product teams are organized in regional product hubs for optimal collaboration and live within a time zone of their hub. Our current product hubs are located in Pleasanton, Columbus, Boston, Kansas City, New York City, Raleigh, and Toronto. We create opportunities for teams to get together in person regularly.

Customer-facing roles, such as Sales and Professional Services, live near and/or travel to their customers.

When an employee moves within a country it does not cause a change in salary. Where you live impacts you and your family. Not knowing if your compensation will change if you move can cause stress and uncertainty for everyone. We wanted to eliminate that.

Work at Veeva. Work where it's best for you.
