DevOps Automation Engineer - Developer Experience

Wells Fargo is seeking a passionate DevOps Automation Engineer to help build and evolve our Internal Developer Platform (IDP) into a modern, self-service, GitOps-driven ecosystem. This role is ideal for a developer who understands the toil of infrastructure, someone who has experienced the challenges of deploying and operating applications and is driven to eliminate those barriers for others.
You'll work hands-on to design and implement self-service automation, enabling developers to provision infrastructure, deploy services, and manage environments with minimal friction.

• Integrate the IDP with internal systems including GitHub, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, secrets management, and observability platforms.
• Implement guardrails and policy-as-code to ensure secure, compliant, and scalable automation.
• Contribute to the development of developer portals, service catalogs, and golden paths that simplify application delivery.
• Monitor and improve the performance, reliability, and usability of the platform.
• Collaborate with product managers, UX designers, and developers to ensure the platform is intuitive and effective.
• Contribute to internal documentation and onboarding materials to support adoption and ease of use.

• Developer Portals: Exposure to Backstage, Port, Cortex, or similar platforms
• GitOps: Understanding of declarative infrastructure and delivery using tools like ArgoCD or Flux
• Observability: Familiarity with Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK Stack
• Security & Policy: Experience implementing policy-as-code and secure automation practices
