The posting

Ascensus is the leading independent technology and service platform powering savings plans across America, providing products and expertise that help nearly 16 million people save for a better today and tomorrow.

Section 1: Position Summary

As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will provide technical leadership and architectural direction for DevOps, CI/CD, and cloud‑native engineering practices across multiple agile teams. You will partner closely with architects, engineers, security, and infrastructure teams to design scalable, secure, and highly automated delivery platforms that enable teams to ship software faster and more reliably.

This role is ideal for a hands‑on technical leader who enjoys working at both the strategic and tactical levels—setting standards, guiding teams, and occasionally rolling up their sleeves to solve complex engineering problems or lead proofs of concept.

You will also serve as a champion of DevOps and DevSecOps culture, continuously improving developer experience, platform reliability, and operational excellence.

  • Guide teams on service networking, API management, load balancing, and traffic management.
  • Support high availability, disaster recovery, and business continuity strategies.

Reliability & Production Support

  • Provide Level‑3 support for complex production incidents and reliability challenges.
  • Partner with operations and engineering teams to improve observability, monitoring, and alerting.
  • Continuously identify opportunities to improve system stability and operational maturity.

Mentorship & Culture

  • Mentor and coach engineers on DevOps practices, tools, and architectural decision‑making.
  • Promote a culture of automation, ownership, continuous improvement, and quality.
  • Model strong collaboration, communication, and engineering discipline.

Innovation & Continuous Improvement

  • Research emerging tools, technologies, and practices to improve the software delivery lifecycle.
  • Build consensus and introduce cost‑effective solutions that increase delivery speed, quality, and reliability.
  • Continuously optimize DevOps platforms and processes based on measurable outcomes.

Required Qualifications

  • 10+ years of hands‑on experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, Build & Release, or Engineering Operations roles.
  • Proven experience designing and supporting DevOps architecture in enterprise‑scale production environments.
  • Strong experience with Agile/Scrum, Continuous Integration, and Continuous Delivery.
  • Hands‑on experience deploying and troubleshooting applications in Linux and Windows environments.
  • Advanced automation and scripting experience using PowerShell, Python, or similar languages.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
