Devops Automation Engineer

About the role

This is a remote position where you can work from Anywhere in LATAM. We’re looking for a Senior Build Automation Engineer to join our team on a cloud platform delivery engagement with one of our partners. This role is focused on building the automation layer that turns infrastructure, environment setup, deployment steps, and validation workflows into a repeatable and reliable delivery path.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement automation for provisioning, configuring, and validating cloud platform environments.
• Create end-to-end workflows that connect infrastructure setup, application deployment, health checks, and operational handoff.
• Automate manual build and deployment steps into repeatable, documented processes.
• Help define the golden path for creating and managing platform environments.
• Work with Kubernetes-based environments to support cluster setup, deployment automation, configuration, and validation.
• Automate post-deployment steps, health checks, service readiness checks, and failure detection.
• Support platform teams in making environment creation and updates more consistent, reliable, and observable.
• Help improve reliability around deployment pipelines, infrastructure changes, and operational runbooks.
• Integrate automation workflows with backend services, internal APIs, scripts, and platform tooling.
• Build automation that can trigger, monitor, validate, and report on platform delivery processes.
• Work with service owners and infrastructure engineers to understand dependencies, required inputs, expected outputs, and failure scenarios.
• Create practical tooling that helps engineering teams move faster without increasing operational risk.
• Create clear runbooks, handoff documentation, and troubleshooting guides.
• Document assumptions, workflow steps, dependencies, rollback paths, and known limitations.
• Collaborate with platform, infrastructure, backend, QA, and delivery stakeholders to make automation usable and maintainable.
• Help move the team from manual execution toward repeatable platform delivery.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in platform engineering, DevOps, SRE, infrastructure automation, backend automation, or similar roles.
• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes.
• Strong experience building CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation.
• Experience automating infrastructure, environment setup, or platform delivery workflows.
• Experience with cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS, or GCP.
• Comfortable writing scripts or small services in Bash, Python, Go, TypeScript, or similar languages.
• Experience integrating automation with APIs, backend services, internal tools, or workflow systems.
• Experience with Terraform, Crossplane, Helm, or other infrastructure/platform automation tools is helpful.
• Experience with workflow orchestration tools such as Temporal, Argo Workflows, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar is a strong plus.
• Experience building health checks, validation scripts, rollback workflows, and operational runbooks.
• Experience working in enterprise platform, SAP delivery, or complex cloud infrastructure environments is a plus.

Qualifications

• Strong ownership and bias toward action.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and evolving requirements.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Practical, thoughtful, and focused on reliable outcomes.
• Able to simplify complex technical processes into repeatable workflows.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving instincts.
• Comfortable working across infrastructure, backend, platform, QA, and delivery teams.
• Able to bring calm, structure, and sound judgment to complex technical environments.
