Momentum and ownership — You act with optimism, take initiative, and turn ideas into results. You move fast and bring others with you. (Fast Forward)
-
Vision and boldness — You don’t just react — you anticipate. You think big, challenge the status quo, and push the work (and the industry) forward. (Ten Steps Ahead)
-
Joy in the craft — You care deeply about what you build and how it makes people feel. You bring thoughtfulness, transparency, and a sparkling sense of humour to the table. (Delightful Work)

Here’s what you’ll do:
-
Maintain, monitor, and evolve our AWS infrastructure with a focus on scalability, reproducibility, and stability
-
Implement and optimize CI/CD pipelines to support smooth, reliable deployments

What You Bring
Some of the qualities that help you thrive in this role:
- 7+ years of experience in a software development environment, with 3+ years in a dedicated DevOps role
- Extensive AWS expertise across multiple accounts and services
- Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform) and containerization (Docker, ECS)
- Proven track record in designing and managing CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket preferred)
- Solid knowledge of networking, security, Linux systems, and identity/access management
- Collaborative mindset, leadership skills, and a passion for mentoring others
- Comfort working autonomously, while thriving in a collaborative, team-first culture
Bonus: Experience with data warehouses (Redshift, Metabase, Snowflake) or working in fast-scaling SaaS environments.
Compensation & Perks
We believe in fair, transparent compensation. Starting salary for this role is $135,000 - $155,000 CAD, depending on previous experience and skillset.
New hires are expected to come in at the midpoint of this range. However, if this role sounds perfect for you and your expectations are outside of this range, we encourage you to apply and let us know in your application about your ideal package. If we agree that it’s a good fit, we will have open discussion around what’s possible.
Plus:

-
Health and dental benefits, including a $1,000 healthcare spending account
