Description:
Hybrid 50% ON SITE, requires candidates local to the area within Westlake, TX / DFW greater metro
We are seeking a hands-on DevOps Engineer to support and modernize cloud infrastructure for a large, mission‑critical platform in the financial services industry. This role is strongly focused on core DevOps engineering — building, automating, securing, and operating cloud-native infrastructure at scale, including build and automate functions within cloud infrastructure for a global set of platforms. The role requires strong skills with Python automation, work with Kubernetes, Azure, Terraform, ARM templates, IAM, networking, and strong Python scripting. You will design CI/CD, manage AKS and containerized workloads, and implement observability and security best practices. You will collaborate with engineers to deliver reliable, scalable services.
This role will require deep DevOps experience and a passion to gain experience / exposure to AI or AI/ML based automation concepts as they exist in the broader environment, however - this role is not AI‑focused. Candidates with primarily configuration‑based tool experience (e.g., Azure DevOps only) will not be a fit unless they also bring strong foundational DevOps engineering skills and a desire to perform more AI driven functions over the long term.
Due to client requirements, applicants must be willing and able to work on a w2 basis. For our w2 consultants, we offer a great benefits package that includes Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits, 401k with company matching, and life insurance.
