[Hiring] Senior Dev Ops Engineer @Kuali

Role Description

Kuali runs the administrative backbone for roughly 150 colleges and universities. When our infrastructure is unavailable, research proposals miss federal deadlines, financial closes stall, and students cannot register. Reliability is not an internal engineering preference here; it is a contractual and reputational obligation, and it is tested continuously.

Our DevOps team owns the DevOps processes for Kuali's SaaS platform — the cloud infrastructure it runs on, the infrastructure-as-code that defines it, the self-service paths product teams deploy through, and the observability that tells us how it is behaving. That is the job.

Qualifications

• 4+ years in DevOps, platform, SRE, or infrastructure engineering.
• Deep, hands-on AWS experience running production workloads — compute, networking, storage, and managed data services.
• Strong infrastructure-as-code experience (CDK or equivalent), building modules others reuse.
• Strong Linux, networking, and database operations experience.
• Proficiency with observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, New Relic, Open Telemetry, ELK, or comparable).
• Production on-call experience, with a record of driving systemic fixes rather than repeat repairs.
• Clear written English, and working hours overlapping US Mountain Time.

Requirements

• Experience supporting multi-tenant enterprise SaaS.
• Experience migrating production workloads onto AWS from another platform.
• Experience producing infrastructure evidence for SOC 2 or comparable compliance programs.
• Cloud cost optimization experience.

Benefits

• Remote work culture with a history of collaboration across state lines.
• Opportunities for in-person meetings a few times each year.
• Supportive and healthy remote work environment.
