ABOUT THE ROLE Benevity is looking for a Senior DevOps Developer to own and operate the cloud infrastructure and developer platforms that our product teams build on every day. In this hands-on engineering role, you will write Terraform, build pipelines, tune systems, and participate in shared on-call responsibilities. Operating on a collaborative platform model rather than a ticket queue, you will provide the frameworks, templates, and guardrails that enable product teams to independently and securely manage their delivery pipelines. You will partner closely with Staff engineers to turn architectural direction into reliable, well-documented infrastructure while mentoring peers to raise the bar on automation and operational discipline. Your success will be measured by the adoption, velocity, and seamless, inclusive developer experience you help create. WHAT YOU’LL DO: - Build and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure across AWS and GCP using Terraform, contributing to reusable IaC libraries instead of one-off configurations - Create and treat shared CI/CD building blocks as a self-service product, gathering engineer feedback to improve build times, reliability, and rollback safety across teams - Automate operational toil and cut repetitive work using code and AI-driven workflows for writing IaC, triaging alerts, and drafting runbooks - Instrument services for observability by building dashboards, meaningful alerts, and SLIs, while participating in an inclusive on-call rotation and leading blameless post-mortems - Operate and tune containerized services, including resource management and scaling, and help shape our upcoming transition to Kubernetes - Manage the infrastructure, provisioning, and backups for managed databases (MySQL, MSSQL, Postgres) to support our product teams safely - Embed cloud-native security, automated compliance checks, and least-privilege IAM into the platform so teams inherit them by default - Package zero-downtime deployment patterns as reliable building blocks and ensure systems have documented, rehearsed disaster recovery paths - Review infrastructure code, improve internal documentation, and provide supportive mentorship to intermediate engineers to raise the team's standards WHAT YOU’LL BRING: - A proven track record in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering supporting production SaaS at a meaningful scale - Strong hands-on AWS experience across compute, networking, and IAM, utilizing Well-Architected principles alongside solid Terraform skills - Deep familiarity with CI/CD platforms like GitHub Actions or Jenkins, specifically building reusable workflows, templates, and shared libraries - Practical programming ability in Python or similar languages for automation, maintaining the habits of a developer with version control and code review - A collaborative platform mindset focused on developer experience, gathering feedback, and driving tool adoption rather than acting as a gatekeeper - Experience running containerized production workloads, tuning scaling behavior, and a working knowledge of managed database services - Proficiency with observability tooling to define useful SLIs and alerts, coupled with real incident response and post-mortem experience - Demonstrated use of prompt engineering and AI agents to thoughtfully automate engineering and operational tasks - Clear, inclusive communication skills with bonus points for experience in Kubernetes migrations, GCP, FinOps, or regulated environments DISCOVER YOUR PURPOSE AT WORK We’re not employees, we’re Benevity-ites.
