Lead DevOps Engineer

About the role

This role is within the DevOps - Engineering Acceleration organization at Wells Fargo. The team focuses on modernizing foundational engineering capabilities and improving the way platforms are built, delivered, and maintained across Consumer Technology.

Responsibilities

• Lead efforts to modernize infrastructure delivery using best-in-class automation and configuration patterns.

• Design, implement, and maintain infrastructure build and provisioning pipelines that enable repeatable and scalable compute environments.

• Develop and maintain a library of reusable configuration modules and automation patterns to support consistent image and system builds across environments.

• Contribute to the creation and evolution of enterprise image standards, including versioning, governance, and ongoing maintenance.

• Strengthen infrastructure lifecycle and compliance processes, including vulnerability remediation and secure baseline management.

• Collaborate across teams -- Production Support, Enterprise Infrastructure, Developer Platforms, and application teams-to deliver integrated, enterprise-ready engineering solutions.

• Build and consume RESTful APIs that support infrastructure and platform workflows.

• Contribute to internal tooling and developer utilities, including CLIs and shared components developed through innersource.

• Support the design of self-service provisioning workflows that simplify and accelerate infrastructure consumption by application teams.

• Mentor engineers, review code and automation patterns, and foster a culture of quality, reusability, and engineering excellence.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, or related disciplines.

• 3+ years of hands-on experience with Linux systems engineering and infrastructure automation.

• 3+ years of experience using programming or scripting languages (e.g., Python, Go).

• 2+ years of experience designing, developing, or consuming RESTful APIs for infrastructure or platform workflows.

• 2+ years of experience working with Git-based workflows and modern source control practices.

• 2+ years of experience developing configuration automation (e.g., role/blueprint-style frameworks, configuration modules, or similar concepts).

• 2+ years of experience automating image, system, or configuration build processes (e.g. GitHub Actions, Terraform, Ansible).

• 2+ years of experience applying security, compliance, or vulnerability-management practices within infrastructure engineering.

• 2+ years leading or influencing technical engineering initiatives in a collaborative, cross-functional environment.

Qualifications

• Experience with image lifecycle management or automated image creation pipelines (e.g. Packer, Chainguard).

• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code platforms or Kubernetes-style resource APIs (e.g., Terraform, Crossplane, or similar tools).

• Experience building internal tools or CLIs in Go.

• Experience with container orchestration platforms (e.g., Kubernetes, OpenShift).

• Experience with observability tooling (metrics, logs, tracing).

• Exposure to hybrid or private cloud environments and concepts commonly used in public cloud architectures (eg. AWS, GCP, Azure).

• Strong communication and collaboration skills.
