DevOps Engineer
Full-time, remote, worldwide, paying up to $125,000 a year. This role owns the pipeline from code being written to code running in production, and it needs someone who's comfortable being the person everyone pings when a deploy goes sideways.
What you'll own
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines that development teams actually trust
- Automate infrastructure provisioning so environments spin up consistently instead of through manual one-off setup
- Work directly with development teams to speed up deployment cycles and shore up system reliability
Background required
The degree requirement sits at the bachelor's level, typically earned in a computing-related field. Candidates need 30 months of hands-on experience building CI/CD pipelines and managing cloud infrastructure, along with real proficiency in automation and containerization tools rather than surface-level familiarity.
Technical skills
- CI/CD pipelines
- Docker
- Kubernetes
- A major cloud platform
- Scripting in Python or Bash
- Infrastructure as code
- Monitoring tools for catching problems before users do
Nice to have
- A cloud certification, such as AWS Certified DevOps Engineer or the GCP equivalent
- Terraform experience specifically, beyond general infrastructure-as-code exposure
- Familiarity with GitOps workflows using something like ArgoCD or Flux
Working style
Naukri Mitra handles the first screening call for this role before candidates move on to a technical interview that covers pipeline design and troubleshooting scenarios. A recent Kubernetes rollout stalled for close to twenty minutes because a readiness probe was checking an endpoint that hadn't finished initializing, and pods kept cycling instead of stabilizing. Debugging that kind of thing under time pressure, with a deploy blocking other teams, is a routine part of the role rather than an edge case. There's also a rotation for on-call coverage, split fairly across the team rather than defaulting to one person.
Compensation and benefits
Base pay reaches $125,000 annually, which is competitive for a remote DevOps engineer salary at this experience level.
- Health insurance
- Paid time off
- 401(k) matching
- Remote-work flexibility
- An employee assistance program covering mental health support
Applying
Send a resume along with a description of a CI/CD pipeline or infrastructure project you've built, including what tools you used and what problem it solved. Candidates typically hear back within two weeks, with the process running three stages from first contact to offer.
