About the Role

We are looking for an experienced, forward-thinking Senior DevOps Engineer to join our newly formed DevOps team within our Market Data Engineering organization. In this role, you will be a critical resource working with Engineering and Product teams to re-design, build, automate, and scale our developer enablement ecosystem.

You will partner with multiple agile development teams building complex, high performance computing solutions, championing a modern, security-focused DevOps culture. Beyond traditional CI/CD, you will explore and implement AI-enabled automation using LLMs like Claude or Gemini to optimize pipelines, build developer self-service tooling, and accelerate software delivery.

Key Responsibilities

- CI/CD & Pipeline Engineering: Design, build, optimize, and maintain robust, high-performing CI/CD pipelines across multiple agile development teams using Git, GitLab CI, and Jenkins

- AI-Driven Automation: Research, design, and implement automated workflows, pipeline triaging, and developer tooling using AI models (such as Claude and Gemini) integrated via Model Context Protocol (MCP)

- Software Supply Chain Security: Design and manage software supply chain workflows using JFrog Artifactory, ensuring secure dependency management, artifact caching, and license compliance

- DevSecOps & Secure SDLC: Integrate automated security scanning (SAST/DAST, container scanning, secret detection) directly into delivery pipelines, driving a "shift-left" security culture

- Automation & Tooling: Develop clean, maintainable, and reliable automation scripts and custom integrations using Python

- Infrastructure & Platform Management: Manage and optimize Linux operating environments across both traditional virtual machines (VMs) and modern containerized platforms using Docker

- Cloud Infrastructure: Provision, monitor, and scale cloud infrastructure on AWS, utilizing core services such as EC2, S3, VPCs, and IAM

- Agile Collaboration: Serve as a DevOps champion within agile sprint teams, participating in ceremonies, advising on deployment strategies, and removing operational bottlenecks

Required Skills & Experience

- 5+ years of experience in DevOps or Platform Engineering, ideally supporting multiple agile software development teams

- Strong experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines using Git, GitLab CI/CD, and Jenkins, including pipeline-as-code and shared libraries
