Position Overview
At Zelis, we’re modernizing and scaling our technology infrastructure—and we’re looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to drive CI/CD, cloud automation, and operational excellence. This role is ideal for an experienced DevOps professional who thrives in a collaborative engineering environment, is passionate about automation, and can help scale secure, reliable infrastructure across teams.What You’ll Do:
Build, scale, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps
Automate deployment and testing workflows using scripting tools like PowerShell, Python, or Bash
Implement security best practices to protect applications and data from threats
Support cloud infrastructure with a focus on automation, observability, and resilience
Drive the measurement, monitoring, and reporting of availability, latency, and overall system health using SLIs, SLOs, and SLAs
Collaborate with developers, QA, and operations to streamline delivery and optimize engineering workflows
Participate in quarterly team meetings and collaboration sessions (travel to NJ as needed)
Troubleshoot and resolve infrastructure and pipeline issues efficiently and proactively
What You'll Do:
8+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or build/release engineering roles
Strong hands-on experience with CI/CD tools, especially GitHub, Git-based repositories, and pipeline automation
Solid understanding of cloud platforms, preferably Azure (AWS or GCP also valuable)
Proficiency in scripting languages such as PowerShell, Bash, or Python
Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools like Azure Monitor, Splunk, or similar
Knowledge of SLIs, SLOs, and SLAs in performance and reliability monitoring
Comfortable working in Agile teams and collaborating across development, QA, and operations
Willingness to travel (~20%) for planning and collaboration sessions
Nice to Have:
Experience with Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform, ARM templates)
Exposure to package/dependency managers like NPM or NuGet
Background in DevSecOps or experience embedding security into CI/CD workflows
A passion for automation, performance measurement, and continuously improving system reliability
What This Role Is Not:
This is not a traditional sysadmin or reactive support position. It’s a hands-on engineering role focused on automation, cloud tooling, and secure delivery pipelines, where you’ll shape how systems are built, released, and scaled.
Location and Workplace Flexibility
