Open 33d

You'll operate as a technical leader owning the end to end deployment strategy and shaping the systems that enable engineering velocity at scale. This is a high impact role focused on reducing cycle time, increasing reliability and enabling world-class developer experience across the organization. You'll set technical direction across teams, guide architecture decisions, and act as a force multiplier through mentorship, design reviews, and cross-team collaboration.

Responsibilities

  • Define and drive the end-to-end deployment strategy, from CI pipelines to production rollout
  • Own and evolve the GitOps-based deployment platform (e.g., ArgoCD, Argo Rollouts), ensuring scalability, reliability, and ease of use
  • Design and implement safe, progressive delivery mechanisms (canary, blue/green, feature flags, automated rollback)
  • Set technical direction across teams, guiding architecture decisions that improve developer velocity and system reliability
  • Establish and evangelize best practices for CI/CD, release engineering, and environment management across the organization
  • Identify and eliminate bottlenecks to drive step-function improvements in developer productivity and cycle time
  • Build and evolve internal tooling to improve testing and deployment workflows
  • Ensure high reliability and operational excellence through strong observability, monitoring, and incident-driven improvements
  • Mentor engineers and act as a force multiplier, influencing teams through technical leadership, design reviews, and cross-team collaboration

Requirements

  • BS / BA degree or equivalent experience
  • 7+ years in Devops, Site Reliability or Infrastructure Engineering roles
  • Business-level fluency to read, write and speak in English
  • Deep expertise in modern deployment systems, including Kubernetes, GitOps workflows, and tools like ArgoCD and Argo Rollouts
  • Successfully designed and scaled CI/CD systems for large engineering organizations
  • Comfortable owning ambiguous, cross-cutting problems and turning them into clear technical strategies
  • Strong track record of improving developer velocity, reliability, and system scalability
  • Deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure (AWS), containerization (Docker), and distributed systems
  • Experience implementing progressive delivery techniques (canary, blue/green, feature flags)
  • Skilled in infrastructure as code (e.g., Pulumi, Terraform) and system automation
  • Ability to balance short-term execution with long-term architectural vision
  • Ability to influence engineering teams through technical leadership, not just direct ownership
  • Ability to communicate complex ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Benefits

  • Equity (RSUs)
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans for full-time employees and their dependents, with most premiums covered
  • 12 weeks of paid parental leave for all parents and 6+ weeks of additional paid leave for birthing parents
