Our culture:

We are dedicated to our work, but equally committed to celebrating our achievements. Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do, as we firmly believe in the power of teamwork. While we are remote-first as a company, we try to create opportunities to meet each other. That's why we organize annual offsite retreats in beautiful Park City, Utah and Mexico!

Who you are:

We are looking for a lead DevOps Engineer to design, build and scale the next generation of our infrastructure, which currently serves millions of Shopify customers. Our Engineering team is highly collaborative and the ideal candidate is motivated to build tools and systems that enable teams to move fast to deploy new services rather than relying on DevOps to do the work for them.

What You’ll Bring:

• 6+ years of experience as a DevOps Engineer

• Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code best practices in tools like Terraform/OpenTofu and Spacelift

• Experience administering AWS products (EKS, RDS, Route 53, etc.)

• Understanding of VPCs, VPNs, load balancers, and security best practices in AWS

• Proficiency in scripting with Python, Bash, or Go to automate tasks and processes

• Experience owning CI/CD tools like Jenkins

• Enthusiasm for providing top-notch internal support with patience and professionalism

Nice to haves:

• Experience supporting ML engineering or data pipelines

• Experience with AWS Lambda and event-driven workflows

• Understanding of cloud cost management and optimization strategies

• Experience within the eCommerce and/or subscription management space
