Senior DevOps Engineer

Enterprise AI is moving from pilots to production, and the constraint is no longer the model — it's the data. Agents are only as good as what they can sense, trust, and act on in the moment, and real-time, event-driven data is becoming the foundation every serious AI system runs on.

Solace is the leading platform for the enterprise AI era. Established enterprises worldwide — including RBC Capital Markets, Bosch, Heineken, PSA Singapore, United Airlines, Schwarz Group, and hundreds more — have built their business around Solace to enable intelligent, real-time experiences, modernize their application and integration landscape, and create seamless digital journeys for their customers, partners, and employees. 

So, the next time you drive a car, order furniture online, fly in a plane, check your bank balance on your phone, your positive experience could be a direct result of our technology—and your hard work! 

About the Role
The Solace Platform Engineering team is looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to help design, build, and evolve the CI/CD pipelines, developer tooling, and development environments that power Solace Cloud and its supporting microservices.

In this role, you will operate at the intersection of platform engineering, DevOps, and developer experience, building scalable, secure, and reliable systems that enable product teams to move faster with confidence. You’ll work deeply with AWS, Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code, and CI/CD systems, partnering closely with software engineers, SREs, and security teams to define best practices and improve building and delivering software at Solace.

What You’ll Do

As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you’ll take ownership of critical platform capabilities and help shape the future of how Solace engineers build and ship software.

• Design, build, and maintain highly reliable CI/CD pipelines that support large-scale, cloud-native microservices


• Build and maintain developer environments (local, ephemeral, and cloud-based) that are fast, secure, and easy to use


• Define and implement Infrastructure as Code using Terraform and Helm to manage cloud resources and Kubernetes workloads


• Partner with engineering teams to standardize deployment, testing, and release workflows


• Improve platform observability, security, and reliability across the SDLC


• Mentor other engineers and contribute to technical design discussions and architectural decisions


• Drive continuous improvement by identifying friction points in the developer experience and delivering practical solutions

What You’ll Bring to the Role

• 5+ years of experience in Platform Engineering, DevOps, SRE, or related roles


• Strong hands-on experience designing and operating CI/CD systems (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins or similar)


• Solid experience with Kubernetes, containerization, and orchestration (Docker, Helm)


• Proven experience with Infrastructure as Code, particularly Terraform


• Strong proficiency in at least one programming language such as Go, Python, or similar


• Experience working in AWS or other major cloud platforms


• Strong understanding of software delivery lifecycles, testing strategies, and release management


• Ability to work cross-functionally and influence platform standards across teams

Nice to Have

• Experience building internal developer platforms (IDPs) or self-service tooling


• Familiarity with secrets management (e.g., HashiCorp Vault)


• Experience improving developer experience (DevX) at scale


• Background in highly regulated or security-conscious environments

Who You Are

• A hands-on engineer who enjoys building platforms other engineers love to use


• Passionate about automation, reliability, and developer productivity


• Comfortable owning complex systems and driving them forward


• Curious, pragmatic, and continuously learning


• A collaborative team player who values high standards and shared success
