Senior DevOps Engineer
Summary
Advises clients on DevOps best practices, CI/CD pipelines, and code quality tools like SonarQube; delivers training and maturity assessments without hands-on implementation.
About the work
Our customer provides a code quality and code security platform. Stride delivers their high-touch onboarding program for strategic customers as a partner. Each engagement runs about 60 hours over roughly 90 days: a maturity assessment, a roadmap workshop, then a tailored set of trainings and advisory sessions with weekly cadence calls.
Scope note: the work is strictly advisory (assessments, training, best-practice guidance, roadmaps). No hands-on implementation in customer environments.
