[Hiring] Senior DevOps Engineer @TechnologyAdvice

Role Description

We're seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer who views infrastructure as a product and operational excellence as an engineering discipline. You'll help own and continuously evolve the cloud platforms, deployment systems, observability, automation, and infrastructure that enable TechnologyAdvice engineers to deliver reliable software quickly and safely.

• Own and continuously improve the cloud infrastructure and platform capabilities that support TechnologyAdvice's applications, data systems, and engineering teams.
• Independently identify opportunities to improve system reliability, scalability, security, performance, cost efficiency, developer experience, and operational effectiveness.
• Design, build, and maintain secure, scalable cloud infrastructure using modern infrastructure-as-code and cloud-native engineering practices.
• Engineer away repetitive operational work by building automation, self-service capabilities, reusable infrastructure patterns, and platform tooling.
• Improve Kubernetes and container-based infrastructure to make application deployment, scaling, recovery, and operations increasingly standardized and reliable.
• Own and evolve CI/CD and GitOps workflows that allow engineers to ship changes quickly, consistently, and safely.
• Partner directly with Software Engineers, Product Engineers, Analytics Engineers, and other Technology teams to understand operational friction and build platform solutions that increase engineering leverage.
• Improve observability across applications and infrastructure through effective monitoring, logging, tracing, alerting, dashboards, and actionable service health indicators.
• Lead technical investigation during complex production incidents, drive issues through resolution, and ensure meaningful incidents result in systemic improvements rather than temporary fixes.
• Continuously identify opportunities to improve resilience, disaster recovery, backup strategies, security controls, access management, and infrastructure risk.
• Evaluate cloud infrastructure and architecture for cost efficiency and proactively identify opportunities to reduce unnecessary spend without compromising reliability or engineering effectiveness.
• Apply AI-assisted engineering practices to accelerate infrastructure development, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, automation, documentation, and operational workflows while maintaining rigorous standards for production safety.
• Contribute to architectural decisions and long-term platform strategy, balancing immediate business needs with reliability, security, scalability, simplicity, and maintainability.
• Define, document, and champion engineering standards, operational practices, reusable patterns, and platform capabilities that improve how TechnologyAdvice Engineering operates.
• Mentor other engineers and help raise the organization's standards for infrastructure ownership, automation, reliability, and operational excellence.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to independently identify infrastructure and operational problems, determine their root causes, design solutions, and drive improvements through implementation and measurable results.
• Proven track record of owning business-critical production infrastructure and complex platform initiatives with minimal oversight.
• Strong bias toward eliminating recurring operational work through automation, platform improvements, and systemic fixes rather than repeated manual intervention.
• Strong judgment in balancing reliability, security, engineering velocity, cost, complexity, and business needs when making infrastructure decisions.
• Demonstrated ability to improve the effectiveness of other engineers through better platforms, tooling, automation, documentation, and self-service capabilities.
• Ability to operate effectively during production incidents while maintaining clear communication, disciplined investigation, and ownership through resolution and follow-up.

Requirements

• Deep experience designing, operating, troubleshooting, and improving highly available production systems in cloud environments.
• Strong experience with Kubernetes, containerization, and modern cloud-native infrastructure.
• Strong experience designing and managing infrastructure through Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, OpenTofu, or similar technologies.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD, GitOps, automated deployment practices, and modern software delivery workflows.
• Demonstrated experience improving production observability through monitoring, logging, tracing, alerting, and incident-management practices.
• Strong understanding of reliability engineering, including failure modes, resilience, capacity, recovery, and operational risk.
• Experience implementing secure infrastructure patterns, access controls, secrets management, system hardening, and other cloud security practices.
• Strong Linux and systems troubleshooting skills with the ability to diagnose complex problems across applications, containers, networks, infrastructure, and cloud services.

Benefits

• Career Growth: Advance with mentorship programs, leadership academies, and opportunities to shape company culture and DEI initiatives.
• Flex Fridays: Adjust your 40-hour week to enjoy a full or half day off on Fridays.
• Remote-First Culture: Work from the comfort of your home.
• Paid Time Off: Enjoy 14 days of annual paid time off, plus all regular Philippine government-declared holidays to unwind and recharge. Plus 5 additional days after 1 year.
• Comprehensive Coverage: Full enrollment in Philippine statutory benefits: SSS, PhilHealth, and HDMF.
• Healthcare: Corporate HMO Plan for all full-time PH employees upon completion of two months of tenure.
• De Minimis Allowance: Enjoy a monthly rice subsidy, following government guidelines.
• Wellness Perks: Access the Headspace app to support your well-being.
• Speaker Series Bonus: Present in our monthly speaker series and earn a bonus.
