• 3+ years running Kubernetes at scale in production on public cloud environments (Azure preferred)
• Proven track record designing and managing AWS/Azure/GCP infrastructure for SaaS applications, including Managed Kubernetes Clusters (AKS/GCP/EKS), Database, Networking, RBAC Management etc
• Hands-on expertise with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform/CloudFormation/Pulumi/Crossplane) in production environments
• Strong command of CI/CD tooling (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI, or equivalent) and modern delivery practices
• Deep knowledge of cloud security practices, including encryption, RBAC/IAM, and network security architecture
• Proficiency in at least one modern programming language (Python, Go, Java, or Ruby)

What the job involves

• OpenGov is modernizing how governments operate — and the infrastructure powering that mission has to be fast, resilient, and built for scale
• As a Sr. DevOps Engineer, you'll own the design and delivery of the cloud systems, CI/CD pipelines, and security architecture that keep our multi-tenant SaaS platform running for thousands of public sector customers
• This is a high-ownership role for an engineer who moves fluidly between deep technical execution and cross-functional influence — someone energized by building AI-forward infrastructure that directly shapes how government services are delivered
• Architect and own OpenGov's multi-tenant Azure and AWS infrastructure, ensuring high availability, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery readiness at scale
• Lead infrastructure-as-code strategy using any IaC (Terraform/CloudFormation/Pulumi/Crossplane), driving consistency, repeatability, and auditability across environments
• Design, build, and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI etc) that enable rapid, reliable feature delivery across engineering teams
• Drive cloud cost optimization and performance engineering across AWS/Azure services, balancing efficiency with reliability commitments
• Own the security posture of cloud infrastructure and partner with compliance teams on SOC2 and StateRamp adherence
• Establish and manage observability practices using tools like Grafana, Prometheus, and Azure Monitoring; lead incident response and post-mortem processes with a focus on systemic improvement
• Serve as a cross-functional technical advisor to engineering, product, and security teams — translating business priorities into scalable infrastructure decisions
• Mentor and develop junior engineers, elevating technical standards and building a culture of operational excellence across the team
