The Role

You will work closely with our Senior Full Stack Developers to architect, deploy, and scale innovative applications for global brands in gaming, entertainment, and finance.

You aren't just a "cloud admin"—you are a Platform Engineer dedicated to developer experience (Dev Ex), multi-cloud resilience, and the integration of Generative AI into the operational lifecycle.

What you will be doing:

Multi-Cloud Orchestration:

Design and manage high-availability infrastructure across Azure, AWS, and GCP, ensuring seamless cross-cloud connectivity and disaster recovery.

Platform Engineering:

Build and maintain internal developer platforms (IDP) that empower developers to self-serve infrastructure while maintaining governance.

AI-Augmented Operations:

Integrate AI tools (Git Hub Copilot for CLI, AI-driven observability, and automated incident summarization) to accelerate troubleshooting and reduce Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR).

Infrastructure as Code (IaC):

Standardize environment provisioning using Terraform, Pulumi, or Crossplane across diverse cloud providers.

Advanced CI/CD:

Architect sophisticated pipelines using Git Hub Actions, Git Lab CI, or Jenkins, incorporating automated security scanning (SAST/DAST) and "canary" deployment strategies.

Observability & SRE:

Implement "Golden Signals" monitoring using Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or New Relic.

Lead post-incident reviews to drive systemic improvements.

Security & Compliance:

Implement Zero Trust architecture, manage secrets (Hashi Corp Vault/Azure Key Vault), and ensure compliance in highly regulated environments (Fintech/Public Sector).

Must Have:

Experience:

• 7+ years of professional experience in SRE, Dev Ops, or Platform Engineering roles.

Multi-Cloud Mastery:

• Deep, hands-on expertise in at least two of the "Big Three" (Azure, AWS, GCP).

Container Excellence:

• Expert-level knowledge of Kubernetes (AKS/EKS/GKE) and Open Shift.
• You should be comfortable managing clusters, service meshes (Istio/Linkerd), and ingress controllers.

Automation & Scripting:

• Proficiency in Python, Go, or Bash for building custom automation tooling and operators.

IaC Expert:

• Advanced experience with Terraform (including module development) and/or Cloud-native tools (Cloud Formation, Bicep).

AI Integration:

• Proven ability to use Generative AI tools (e.g., Git Hub Copilot, ChatGPT, or specialized AI agents) to optimize infrastructure code, debug complex logs, and automate documentation.

CI/CD Architect:

• Experience building end-to-end pipelines that support polyglot applications (Java, .NET, Node.js).

Security Mindset:

• Strong understanding of cloud security (IAM, VPC Peering, Private Links) and vulnerability management.

Education:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.

Status:

• Canadian resident with Citizenship or PR Status.

Nice to Have:

Data & Search:

• Experience managing containerized Apache Solr or Elasticsearch at scale.

Fintech/Enterprise:

• Experience in highly regulated environments (Banking, Credit Unions, or Public Sector).

Fin Ops:

• Experience in infrastructure cost optimization and cloud spend management.

Salary & Benefits

• CAD $100,000 – $160,000 annually
• Full remote work
• Comprehensive benefit plan
• Training and career development opportunities
• Regular in-person social events for those near Vancouver or Toronto
