[Hiring] DevOps Enablement Engineer / SDLC Lead @ECS Tech Inc

Role Description

ECS DevLabs is seeking a DevOps Enablement Engineer who will serve as the primary point of engagement between ECS development teams and the DevLabs platform. This role combines hands-on DevSecOps enablement with product ownership responsibilities — understanding what ECS teams actually need to deliver successfully, translating those needs into platform requirements, and ensuring the SDLC ecosystem evolves to meet real-world demand.

You will own the intake process for development team onboarding, gather and prioritize requirements across multiple project teams, map decision trees for technology and workflow choices, and drive adoption of standardized CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, and secure development practices built on Platform One Big Bang and AWS EKS.

A core part of this role is owning the developer toolkit experience — managing platforms like Coder (cloud-based development workspaces) and championing adoption of similar tools that reduce friction, standardize environments, and accelerate time-to-productivity for new project teams.

This is not a back-office infrastructure role. You will be embedded with development teams, running discovery sessions, resolving blockers, and shaping the platform roadmap based on direct engagement with the engineers who use it.

Qualifications

• U.S. Citizenship required.
• 5+ years of software development or DevOps experience.
• Demonstrated experience engaging directly with development teams to gather requirements and drive adoption of tools or processes.
• Ability to synthesize competing priorities from multiple teams into a coherent backlog.
• Experience administering or championing developer experience platforms (Coder, Gitpod, GitHub Codespaces, JetBrains Space, or similar cloud-based development environments).
• Strong experience with:
  • GitLab CI/CD or similar pipeline platforms.
  • Docker and container image best practices.
  • Kubernetes (Helm, deployments, services, RBAC).
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).
  • Knowledge of DevSecOps practices and security scanning tools.
  • Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments.
  • Strong scripting skills (Bash, Python, or similar).
• Excellent communication, facilitation, and ability to work across organizational boundaries.

Requirements

• Own the feedback loop — gathering requirements from ECS project teams, filtering and prioritizing them against platform capabilities and constraints, and working with platform engineering to deliver solutions that accelerate delivery.
• Responsibilities span team engagement and requirements discovery, developer toolkit ownership (Coder workspaces and similar self-service developer platforms), CI/CD pipeline enablement, security scanning integration, GitOps deployment support, and continuous improvement of the developer experience.

Benefits

• Salary Range: $150,000 - $200,000
