An impressive mission requires an equally impressive Senior DevOps Specialist
As a Senior DevOps Specialist, you will join VIA’s DevOps team to help drive the deployment, security, and reliability of our Web3 data and identity protection solutions. You won’t wait to be handed a problem. You’ll identify what matters, bring a clear point of view on how to address it, and lead work through to completion in close partnership with the rest of the DevOps team. You will take ownership of key components of VIA’s infrastructure while shaping the broader technical direction alongside your teammates, leveraging AI-driven automation and infrastructure-as-code to replace manual processes and ensure our platform meets rigorous security requirements.
In this role, you will:
Help shape and operate infrastructure and deployment systems
Contribute to the design, build, and maintenance of the cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment tooling that engineering teams rely on every day
Drive reliability and observability
Implement monitoring, alerting, and incident response practices that keep systems healthy and surface issues before customers feel them
Champion security and compliance
Partner with security and compliance teammates to ensure infrastructure aligns with VIA's security obligations (e.g., CJIS, CMMC, and SOC 2), embedding security controls into automated pipelines rather than bolting them on
Partner across the engineering organization
Work closely with engineering leadership, Client Delivery Leads, and product teams to ensure infrastructure work is properly prioritized and accounted for during project planning and resource allocation
Partner with the team to identify and implement AI tools and agents
Identify and implement AI tools and agents to eliminate manual bottlenecks across the DevOps lifecycle, including automated remediation, log anomaly detection, infrastructure-as-code generation and review, and compliance evidence collection
Requirements
What you will bring to this role:
Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, engineering, information systems, or a related degree
5+ years of experience in a DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering role, with demonstrated success in a high-growth technical environment
Deep technical understanding of IT infrastructure integration, Unix/Linux, (e.g., DNS, storage systems, firewalls, etc.), TCP/UDP/IP behavior, and application data flows between systems - a must have
High proficiency in application deployment (e.g., Kubernetes, IaC e.g. Terraform, Docker), configuration and monitoring (e.g., System logs, Kibana, Grafana, etc.)
In-depth experience with AWS required; experience with Azure or GCP a bonus
Experience managing network infrastructure, protocols, troubleshooting, and security (e.g., firewalls, security groups, OS/container hardening)
Experience adhering to the standards of compliance frameworks (e.g. CJIS, CMMC, SOC2)
Proficiency in Python and shell script languages
Proven ability to independently manage priorities and plan effectively across multiple upcoming development cycles (sprints), anticipating future dependencies and resource needs
Proven track record building strong stakeholder relationships, with excellent interpersonal and presentation skills to effectively communicate and influence
Experience or interest in the following skills is also a plus:
Deployment of blockchain nodes (e.g., experience with configuration of Ethereum miners)
Application orchestration
Service mesh technology (e.g., Istio)
Managing IoT devices…
