About The Role

We are seeking a highly skilled DevOps Engineer to join our dynamic team remotely, supporting operations across Canada, with a preference for candidates located in the Greater Toronto Area. This role offers an exciting opportunity to build and maintain a cutting-edge infrastructure that seamlessly integrates cloud and edge computing environments. As a key member of the engineering team, you will be responsible for designing, deploying, and managing scalable, resilient systems that underpin our client’s innovative industrial automation platform. Your work will directly impact the safety, efficiency, and reliability of factory operations across North America, providing tangible results that enhance operational uptime and performance.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate will possess over five years of experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering roles. You should have practical expertise in deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters in production environments, troubleshooting containerized workloads, and implementing Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform, Helm, or Ansible. Strong scripting skills in Python, Go, or similar languages are essential, along with deep Linux system knowledge, networking fundamentals, and performance tuning. Experience with CI/CD pipelines—using platforms like GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins—is required. Exposure to distributed or hybrid cloud and edge systems, especially those involving GPU scheduling or industrial IoT, is advantageous. Excellent communication skills, a collaborative mindset, and a proactive approach to ownership and problem-solving are critical for success in this role.

• Utilize Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform and Helm to standardize environment provisioning, guaranteeing consistency across deployments.
• Embed scalable observability solutions using Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry to monitor fleet health and performance metrics in real time, enabling proactive issue resolution.
• Collaborate closely with Site Reliability Engineering and software development teams to develop resilient, easy-to-deploy microservices and APIs that meet operational demands.
• Lead post-incident reviews, analyze root causes, and implement systemic improvements to enhance system reliability and prevent recurrence of issues.
• Champion security best practices, including identity management, secrets handling, and network segmentation, across cloud and edge environments to safeguard sensitive data and infrastructure.
