Job Location : New York,NY, USA
We are hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer on behalf of our client - a fast-paced, innovation-driven company in New York with a startup mindset. This is a hybrid role, requiring at least three days a week on-site in NYC. This is not a managerial role, but we are seeking someone highly professional, self-driven, and capable of independently setting priorities and executing tasks. The right candidate is expected to be mindful, demonstrate urgency, and be available in emergency situations (24/7) if needed. Key Responsibilities: • Own and manage CI/CD processes with Azure DevOps: Setup, optimize, and troubleshoot workflows and pipelines. • Work fluently in AWS: Confident in managing and optimizing AWS services, with a particular focus on Lambda cost-efficiency and strategic use of newer features. • Ensure observability and operational excellence: Use Datadog to set up monitoring, alerting, and performance dashboards. Proactively identify and escalate critical issues and their impact - even up to the CEO level. • Collaborate across teams with a startup-level understanding of urgency, autonomy, and accountability. • Uphold high standards of system reliability, security, and performance. Key Requirements: • 5 to 10 years of relevant DevOps experience. • Prior experience in startup environments or similarly fast-moving cultures. • Strong hands-on expertise with Azure DevOps, AWS (especially Lambda), and Datadog. • A clear, personal understanding of what operational excellence means and how it contributes to business success. • Strong communication skills and a proactive mindset. • Willingness to participate in multiple rounds of interviews as part of the selection process. ⸻ If you're a self-sufficient DevOps expert who thrives in dynamic environments and takes pride in maintaining high standards, we'd love to connect with you.
