Senior DevOps Engineer
Focus: Build Quality, Observability, Compliance
Type: Full-time | Location: Remote (US preferred)
Overview
neuRealities is hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer to define and coordinate DevOps design across teams so our spatial computing platforms ship with confidence and run reliably at scale. In this role, you’ll standardize how services and applications build, test, and release—designing reproducible pipelines in Azure DevOps, implementing quality gates and artifact lifecycle management, and automating Azure with Terraform/OpenTofu. You’ll lead our observability practice with OpenTelemetry‑based metrics, SLOs, and actionable alerting wired into Teams/on‑call, and you’ll design for multi‑region resilience on Azure while right‑sizing Kubernetes to balance performance and cost. You love to automate everything: with our engineering teams, you’ll turn DevOps into code—secure‑by‑default (secret scanning, RBAC), measurable, and endlessly repeatable—so teams ship faster with less toil. You’ll partner with engineering, product, security, and IT to meet SOC 2/GDPR/HIPAA requirements without sacrificing developer velocity.
Key Responsibilities
Manage build infrastructure and help application teams with creation of build pipelines
Ensure reproducible builds within Azure DevOps Pipelines
Release/Quality gating and build artefact management
Infrastructure setup automation in Azure through OpenTofu/Terraform
Deployment to Kubernetes through Helm Charts
Monitoring of the running application through a standard observability platform
Working with application teams to help with load testing and making sure their application can be scaled up/down as needed
Help with reliability and fail-over, e.g., multi-region deployments (like Azure paired regions)
Setting up alerting for issues (e.g., posting in MS Teams channels, or using an alerting platform like PagerDuty, Opsgenie, FireHydrant, etc.)
Creating alerting rules, by establishing baselines and alerting thresholds
Work with compliance teams as needed (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2)
Work with security teams (e.g., for secret scanning and RBAC purposes).
What a Strong Candidate Looks Like
5+ years of DevOps experience; 3+ years of experience in Microsoft Azure Cloud
Prior involvement in scaling/right-sizing cloud infrastructure (scaling up/out on demand, but also back down/in)
Experience with Azure DevOps Pipelines, GitHub Actions, or similar CI/CD systems
Experience with cloud native infrastructure: Docker/OCI, Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform/OpenTofu
Having worked with development teams to enable them to conform to a standardized infrastructure
Experience with Observability platforms and standards (e.g., Azure Monitor, Prometheus, Sentry, Grafana, OpenTelemetry).
Nice to Have
Experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Having deployed the same application on different cloud vendors
Successfully created and handled Incident Response Runbooks
Prior involvement in Cloud Economics (budgeting, tracking of spend and projecting of future spend)
Having established Secret Scanning Tools (e.g., GitHub Advanced Security).
