This role is with a fast-growing SaaS provider specialized in high-volume data processing. As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will be the primary architect of a reliable and scalable Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environment. You will bridge the gap between development and operations by leading initiatives in infrastructure automation, cost optimization, and observability, ensuring that the global platform remains secure and performant.
- Compensation: $100,000 – $140,000 USD
- Location: Remote Local (Boston, MA area)
- Experience: 5+ years in DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering.
- Core Tech: Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Terraform, Ansible, Docker, Jenkins.
- Focus: Cloud-Native Scalability, CI/CD, and Observability.
Google Cloud Infrastructure & Automation
You will be responsible for the design and operation of a highly available GCP environment. Using Terraform, you will manage the infrastructure-as-code (IaC) lifecycle, ensuring that all cloud resources are versioned and reproducible. You will also utilize Ansible for configuration management across your Linux fleet, maintaining a standardized and secure server environment for the company’s containerized workloads.
Release Engineering & CI/CD
You will lead the development and maintenance of automated deployment pipelines using Jenkins. Your goal is to enable “paved roads” for software engineers, allowing for fast and reliable deployments of Docker containers. This includes integrating automated testing and security guardrails into the CI/CD flow, reducing the manual effort required for high-frequency SaaS releases.
Observability & Incident Response
To support a global customer base, you will implement and optimize a modern observability stack using tools like Prometheus and Grafana (or GCP Cloud Monitoring). You will define critical alerts and dashboards to monitor system health, participate in on-call rotations, and lead post-incident reviews to drive long-term reliability improvements. You will also mentor junior engineers in these SRE practices to foster a culture of technical excellence.
Summary: You are the technical leader ensuring the stability of a high-growth SaaS platform. By mastering GCP internals and driving automation through Terraform and Ansible, you provide the resilient foundation necessary for global data processing at scale.
