DevOps Engineer

This is a fully remote, full-time position.

About the role

Arcsys is a technology firm specializing in innovative cloud solutions and services for clients across various industries. We pride ourselves on cutting-edge technologies, exceptional customer service, and a collaborative work environment.

Responsibilities

• DevOps Integration & CI/CD Pipelines: Design, implement, and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, including Shared libraries/reusable modules to standardize delivery patterns.
  • Build automated workflows for build, test, security scanning, artifact publishing, and deployment, including environment promotion strategies.
  • Integrate CI/CD with GitHub (branching strategy, PR checks, release tagging) and enforce best practices through templates and guardrails.
  • Implement and maintain semantic versioning practices for pipelines, artifacts, and container images to ensure traceability and prevent overwrite.
• Containerization & Secure Gold Image Patterns: Build, maintain, and continuously improve Docker base “gold images” (minimal, hardened, patched) used across engineering teams.
  • Apply container best practices: image hygiene, least privilege, dependency pinning, SBOM awareness, and secure defaults.
  • Establish an image lifecycle model (build → scan → sign/promote → deprecate) and automate patching and rebuild workflows.
  • Manage artifact workflows using JFrog Artifactory (repository structure, promotion, retention, access control).
  • Partner with teams to remediate findings efficiently and improve overall supply chain posture over time.
  • Build and maintain automation using Docker Templates for deploying a new version of gold images for existing images.
• Artifact Management & Supply Chain Security (JFrog): Manage artifact workflows using JFrog Artifactory (repository structure, promotion, retention, access control).
  • Partnership with teams to remediate findings efficiently and improve overall supply chain posture over time.
• Cloud Infrastructure Development & Management: Build automation and operational patterns across AWS services, including RDS, Glue, and QuickSight.
  • Develop and maintain Python tooling to automate cloud operations, validations, deployments, and reporting workflows.
  • Improve platform reliability and repeatability through automated provisioning patterns and standardized configurations.
  • Build and deploy AWS resources using Terraform, and deployment using CI/CD pipeline.
• DevOps Tooling, Quality Gates, and Observability: Integrate and operationalize SonarQube quality gates (coverage thresholds, code smells, vulnerability checks) within CI/CD.
  • Support and extend observability integrations with Grafana (dashboards/alerts, operational visibility), and optionally Datadog/New Relic.
  • Collaborate with engineering and SRE stakeholders to reduce toil, improve incident readiness, and standardize runbooks.
• Security & Compliance: Implement and manage security controls, ensuring system integrity and compliance with industry standards and organizational policies.
  • Work closely with the security team to monitor for vulnerabilities and implement necessary patches and updates.
  • Support compliance initiatives by adhering to established IT policies and guidelines.
• Collaboration & Documentation: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop cohesive and innovative solutions.
  • Create and maintain comprehensive documentation outlining system architecture, procedures, and best practices.
  • Document procedures, configurations, and specifications, ensuring that knowledge is effectively shared across the team.
  • Contribute to the maintenance of a knowledge base to facilitate continuous learning and team development.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to understand their needs and develop solutions accordingly.
  • Participate in knowledge-sharing sessions to enhance team skills and expertise.
  • Assist in the creation and maintenance of technical documentation, including system designs, configurations, and procedures.
• Professional Development: Continuously learn and keep up to date with emerging technologies and best practices in the cloud and DevOps space.
  • Take part in internal and external training to develop the necessary skills and knowledge for career growth.

Qualifications

• Educational Background & Experience: Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 4–8+ years’ experience in DevOps / Platform Engineering / CI/CD / Cloud Engineering (mid to senior level).
• Strong hands-on expertise in Jenkins, including Jenkins Shared Libraries and reusable pipeline modules.
• Strong knowledge of Docker and container fundamentals (container OS concepts, layering, caching, base image strategies).
• Hands-on experience with JFrog Artifactory and JFrog Xray (policies, scanning, governance, promotion workflows).
• Infrastructure as Code experience (Terraform / CloudFormation / Ansible).
• Solid experience with AWS and familiarity with RDS, Glue, and QuickSight.
• Proficiency in Python for automation, tooling, and integrations.
• Experience with DevOps tools such as GitHub, SonarQube, and Grafana.
• Strong communication skills; comfortable collaborating in a fully remote environment.

Nice to Have

• AWS Certifications (e.g., Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer).
• Experience with other observability tools (e.g., Datadog, New Relic, OpenTelemetry).
• Contributions to open-source projects related to Grafana or observability.
• Kubernetes/ECS/EKS experience (helpful but not required).
• Experience in compliance-driven environments (e.g., secure baselines, audit evidence, change control).

Additional Requirements

• A willingness to continually learn and adapt to the evolving technology landscape.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple projects simultaneously.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package, including health, dental, and vision insurance, retirement plan, and generous paid time off.
• Opportunity to work with a talented team of professionals on exciting and innovative projects.
• Flexible work arrangements, including remote work options.
• Continuous learning and development opportunities, including access to training resources and professional development programs.
• A collaborative, inclusive work environment that values diversity and encourages growth.
