[Hiring] DevOps Engineer @Schellman

Role Description

The DevOps Engineer plays a key role in building and maintaining our secure and scalable cloud infrastructure. This role partners with development and security teams to optimize our DevOps processes and implement new technologies to ensure efficient and secure deployments. This role reports to the Director, IT.

This position is an incredible opportunity to enhance skills and develop career growth by working closely with very experienced team members in DevOps, Security, and Operations. This role works on projects independently allowing professional ownership, without excessive impediments. The team is very efficient, and the environment conveys more like a "fast-paced startup" where you'll have multiple responsibilities instead of siloed into only one area. Expectations are reasonable, and Schellman strives to offer a healthy work/life balance.
