Senior DevOps Engineer

Role Overview

• Own and continuously optimize our CI/CD pipelines and delivery workflows, ensuring fast feedback loops and secure deployments.
• Build and evolve the local developer experience, making it seamless for engineers to spin up, test, and debug services locally across a variety of languages and frameworks.
• Own and maintain part of our cloud infrastructure and container orchestration platforms using Terraform and Kubernetes. This will also require participating in identifying and solving infrastructure-related production issues and performance troubleshooting, upgrading our platforms for long-term resilience.
• Be a technical referent and drive engineering standards forward by acting as a trusted partner for product engineering squads on delivery and infrastructure best practices, sharing expertise and providing guidance.
• Encourage a culture of technical curiosity by frequently evaluating, benchmarking, and prototyping emerging technologies to bring the best tool sets to the team and promoting a culture of continuous learning across the organization.

Requirements

• Minimum 5 years of relevant work experience, preferably in DevOps or Platform Engineering.
• Demonstrated ability to take ownership of cross-functional infrastructure initiatives. You can drive complex projects from design to delivery, working alongside multiple teams.
• Proven hands-on experience designing, building, and optimizing CI/CD pipelines end to end (GitHub Actions or equivalent).
• Strong hands-on experience building robust automation pipelines and modernizing local development environments.
• Production-grade proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (not necessarily Terraform) and container orchestration (not necessarily Kubernetes) (Nice to have).
• Familiarity with an observability and monitoring stack (Datadog, Prometheus, or equivalent) (Nice to have).
• Experience with local development environment tooling (Nix, mise, asdf, devenv, devcontainers, etc) (Nice to have).
• Working knowledge of at least one language from Alma's stack (Python, TypeScript, or PHP) — enough to read, debug, and contribute when needed (Nice to have).
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with a user-centric mindset where your users are your fellow engineers.
• A polyglot mindset and high curiosity: You enjoy dipping into different code bases and stacks (Python, TypeScript, PHP, etc.) and are excited to explore new tools to solve delivery engineering challenges.
• Fluent French (primary working language).
• Good level of English, for documentation, cross-team exchanges, and technical reading, writing as well as presenting.
