About the role
A fast-moving SaaS company at the heart of customer engagement is looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to help shape the infrastructure that powers millions of real-time interactions every day. This is a rare opportunity to join a high-growth team backed by top-tier investors and trusted by household brands—while working on meaningful technical challenges at scale.
You’ll be embedded in a lean DevOps team building out everything from Kubernetes-native deployments to observability pipelines, CI/CD automation, and security-hardening. If you’ve ever wanted to own core infrastructure, bring cloud-native best practices to life, and leave a mark on a fast-scaling product, this is your stage. You’ll work cross-functionally, contribute architectural decisions, and help drive reliability, speed, and cost-efficiency across the platform.
This role is perfect for senior engineers who like solving tough problems, working autonomously, and mentoring others—without the red tape.
Required Skills & Experience
- 10+ years in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering, ideally within high-growth SaaS environments (recent Senior responsibility with AWS services)
- Deep, hands-on experience operating and scaling Kubernetes clusters in production environments, including responsibility for multi-cluster architecture, control plane customization, or leading the migration of legacy workloads into Kubernetes at scale
- Proficiency in Terraform, GitOps workflows (ArgoCD), and CI/CD pipelines using GitLab
Desired Skills & Experience
- Experience with Linkerd, Cloudflare, or advanced DNS/load balancing techniques
- Familiarity with compliance and audit frameworks such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001
Daily Responsibilities
- Hands-On Engineering: 70%
- Team Collaboration & Cross-Functional Work: 30%
Applicants must be currently authorized to work in Canada on a full-time basis now and in the future.
Accommodation will be provided in all parts of the hiring process as required under Motion Recruitment’s Employment Accommodation policy. Applicants need to make their needs known in advance.
