A career at Citco isn’t just a job – it’s an opportunity to excel in an environment that genuinely supports your personal and professional development.
The Senior DevOps Engineer will drive the architecture, strategy, and technical direction of the Jenkins CI/CD platform and the broader EPE toolset that enables Citco's multi-cloud deployments across AWS and on-premise environments. This role blends deep technical ownership with mentoring and technical leadership, driving Infrastructure as Code practices (Terraform, CloudFormation) at scale, and acting as the primary technical escalation point for complex platform issues.
The Senior DevOps Engineer will work closely with Platform Services leadership, Development Teams, and IT Operations to shape the technical roadmap and ensure platform capabilities scale with business needs.
Own the technical architecture and strategic direction for the Jenkins platform, including scaling strategy, worker migration to Kubernetes, and long-term platform design
Act as the primary escalation point for complex Jenkins, pipeline, and platform issues, driving root cause analysis and permanent fixes
Lead the design and implementation of Infrastructure as Code standards (Terraform, CloudFormation) across the team; review and guide IaC architecture decisions
Design and optimize AWS CodePipeline integrations and broader CI/CD strategy across AWS services
Drive technical ownership across platform tools and services (SonarQube, JFrog, Octopus Deploy, Kong, Kiro), including architecture decisions, major upgrades, and technical roadmap
Lead the strategy and execution for Code Assistant (Kiro) management, including licensing optimization, adoption, and usage governance
Architect and drive centralized logging, monitoring, and tracing solutions (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, CloudWatch, Jaeger, OpenTelemetry) across all platforms
Lead the migration of platform tools to Kubernetes; design and review Helm charts, cluster architecture, and Kubernetes deployment strategy
Identify, design, and lead automation initiatives that reduce manual operational overhead across the team
Participate in and provide senior-level support for on-call rotations; lead major incident response and post-incident reviews
Mentor and coach mid-level and junior engineers; provide technical guidance, code/design reviews, and career development support
Partner with Development Teams and stakeholders to translate business requirements into platform capabilities and long-term technical strategy
Own architecture documentation, runbooks, and knowledge base standards for the team
Contribute to capacity planning, cost optimization strategy, and vendor management/licensing discussions
You are a seasoned DevOps engineer who has moved beyond "keeping the lights on" into owning platform architecture and driving technical strategy. You have deep, hands-on expertise across Jenkins, AWS, and Infrastructure as Code, and you're equally comfortable diving into a gnarly production issue as you are designing the long-term roadmap for a platform. You have solid Kubernetes experience and can lead migrations, not just participate in them. You naturally mentor others, elevate the technical bar for the team, and are seen as a trusted technical voice by both your peers and stakeholders. You communicate clearly across technical and non-technical audiences and take ownership beyond your immediate tasks.
