Senior DevOps (Release Management Focus / EST Time Zone)

At Crunch, we’re not just building tech — we’re building a place where talented people grow, create, and feel like they belong. We’re a globally distributed team with a strong engineering culture, straightforward communication, and a genuine passion for what we do. You won’t find rigid hierarchies or endless bureaucracy here — just curious minds solving meaningful problems together.

We’re looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer who will own the reliability, scalability, and performance of our infrastructure and CI/CD ecosystem. You’ll play a critical role in shaping how our systems are built, deployed, monitored, and evolved — enabling engineering teams to ship confidently and efficiently.

This role goes far beyond maintaining pipelines. You’ll drive infrastructure standards, improve delivery performance, and lead initiatives around system stability, observability, and web performance.

This is a pivotal role for a technical leader who thrives at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, CI/CD automation, system reliability, and cross-team collaboration.

Responsibilities

• Own the design, provisioning, and lifecycle management of production infrastructure across development, staging, and production environments
• Architect, maintain, and scale CI/CD platforms and deployment automation used by engineering and QA teams
• Ensure system reliability, scalability, and availability, including capacity planning, autoscaling, and failure recovery strategies
• Establish and enforce infrastructure and deployment standards, including blue/green and canary deployments, rollback mechanisms, and environment parity
• Lead incident response, root cause analysis, and postmortems, driving long-term reliability improvements
• Design and maintain observability systems (monitoring, logging, alerting, metrics) aligned with SLI/SLO best practices
• Drive infrastructure-level performance optimization, including improvements impacting Core Web Vitals and backend latency
• Optimize cloud cost efficiency and resource utilization, providing data-driven recommendations and PoCs

Requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering roles
• Strong expertise with Git and modern version control workflows
• Proven experience managing complex CI/CD pipelines in multi-repository environments
• Deep practical experience with AWS, including serverless architectures and managed services
• Solid understanding of infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar tools)
• Experience implementing and maintaining monitoring, logging, and alerting systems
• Strong understanding of web performance fundamentals and how infrastructure impacts Core Web Vitals
• Experience working in cross-functional engineering environments and supporting multiple teams
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to translate metrics into actionable infrastructure improvements

Nice to Have

• Experience with Node.js, React, and modern web application stacks
• Familiarity with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, ECS)
• Experience with SonarQube, quality gates, or CI-level code quality tooling
• Background in performance optimization, cost optimization, or high-traffic systems
• Experience supporting visual testing or test automation infrastructure

Work Environment & Schedule

• Working hours aligned with EST (Eastern Standard Time) for effective collaboration with the core team
• High-impact role with direct influence on infrastructure scalability, system reliability, and developer productivity
• Fully remote setup with a high level of autonomy and ownership

For Team Members in Latin America

• 18 paid leave days per year (available after 6 months)
