This role will focus on the creation and maintenance of our modern developer platform, leveraging Kubernetes, CI/CD, and cloud computing to empower our developers to create cutting-edge and innovative software systems. A key area of focus for this role is owning and improving the CI/CD test automation pipeline to increase developer productivity, reduce cycle time, and improve delivery performance. You will be working with a team of experienced engineers in the platform engineering, DevOps, and software development world. This role requires a driven and curious individual, willing to learn new technologies and experiment with development teams in order to find the latest and greatest tools to integrate into our workflow, as a driving force behind the software factory here at ScienceLogic.

What you'll be doing...

In this role, you will be developing tools and infrastructure for our development platform, including container platforms, CI/CD pipelines, test automation workflows, and other analysis and engineering tools.

• Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines, with a specific focus on improving the reliability, performance, and scalability of our automated testing pipeline
• Drive developer productivity improvements by reducing build and test times, improving feedback loops, and increasing pipeline signal-to-noise
• Develop our internal Kubernetes platform that fuels our developer workflows, including both hosting developer environments as well as our central tooling and systems
• Coordinate with developer teams to understand requirements and workflows
• Enforce best practices when it comes to container development, CI/CD pipelines, and general software engineering
• Work with an experienced and collaborative team, contributing to team discussions around technology choice, implementation, and architecture

Qualities you possess...

You are a driven and curious engineer who loves to learn about the newest technologies and evaluate efficiencies in existing pipelines. You look at things with an objective and scientific lens to experiment and quantify value, rather than leaning on feelings or claims.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Cyber Security, or related fields with 5+ years of relevant experience
• Ability to operate independently on tasks and own feature delivery from end-to-end
• Extensive experience with CI/CD platforms and developing pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred)
• Extensive experience with Kubernetes, Helm, and container orchestration in production environments, particularly deployed as infrastructure-as-code (Terraform preferred)
• Extensive experience with CI/CD platforms and developing pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred), including automated test orchestration and optimization
• Strong understanding of developer productivity and delivery performance metrics (cycle time, build time, test reliability, and deployment frequency)
• Experience working in public cloud platforms (AWS preferred)
• Experience developing software in object-oriented programming languages (Python or Go preferred)
• Experience collaborating with a team of varied specialties and external collaborators
• Experience documenting best practices, architecture, and policies for consumption of both technical and non-technical roles
• Knowledge of monitoring, observability, and logging tools (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, etc.)
• Understanding of DevOps principles, including secure build pipelines and compliance automation

Benefits & Perks

• Comprehensive medical, dental and vision plans.
• 401(k) plan with employer match.
• Flexible Paid Time Off (FTO) so that you can take the time that you need to re-energize.
• Volunteer Time Off (VTO) - take two days off per calendar year to volunteer with your preferred charitable organization.

• Paid parental leave.
• Generous employee referral bonus program.
• Pet insurance.
• HQ Office centrally located in Reston Town Center featuring a well-stocked kitchen with rotating snacks and beverages, and catered lunch on Thursdays.
