Job SummaryOpenGov is modernizing how governments operate. The infrastructure for that mission must be fast, resilient, and ready to scale. As a Sr. DevOps Engineer, you'll own the design and delivery of the cloud systems, CI/CD pipelines, and security architecture that keep our multi-tenant SaaS platform running for thousands of public sector customers. This is a high-ownership role for an engineer who moves fluidly between deep technical execution and cross-functional influence. This engineer builds AI-forward infrastructure that directly shapes how government services are delivered.
Responsibilities- Architect and own OpenGov's multi-tenant Azure and AWS infrastructure, ensuring high availability, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery readiness at scale.
- Lead infrastructure-as-code strategy using any IaC (Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi, or Crossplane), driving consistency, repeatability, and auditability across environments.
- Design, build, and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, or others) that enable rapid, reliable feature delivery.
- Drive cloud cost optimization and performance engineering across AWS and Azure services, balancing efficiency with reliability commitments.
- Own the security posture of cloud infrastructure and partner with compliance teams on SOC2 and StateRamp adherence.
- Establish and manage observability practices using tools like Grafana, Prometheus, and Azure Monitor.
- Lead incident response and post-mortem processes with a focus on systemic improvement.
- Serve as a cross-functional technical advisor to engineering, product, and security teams.
- Translate business priorities into scalable infrastructure decisions.
- Mentor and develop junior engineers, elevate technical standards, and build a culture of operational excellence.
Requirements and Preferred Experience- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
- 8+ years of software engineering experience with a deep focus on cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and platform engineering.
- 3+ years running Kubernetes at scale in production on public cloud environments (Azure preferred).
- Proven track record with AWS, Azure, or GCP infrastructure for SaaS applications.
- Experience includes managed Kubernetes, databases, networking, and RBAC management.
- Hands-on expertise with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi, or Crossplane) in production environments.
- Strong command of CI/CD tooling (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, or equivalent) and modern delivery practices.
- Deep knowledge of cloud security practices, including encryption, RBAC, IAM, and network security architecture.
- Proficiency in at least one modern programming language (Python, Go, Java, or Ruby).
- Experience with AI-driven developer tooling, workflow automation, or agent-based systems in an engineering context.
- Familiarity with ArgoCD or other GitOps-based deployment frameworks.
- Experience with regulated environments and compliance frameworks such as SOC2 or StateRamp.
