Sr. DevOps Engineer

Respondology is looking for a hands-on and forward-thinking Senior DevOps Engineer to own and evolve our AWS platform. You’ll lead our IaC migration, modernize CI / CD (standardizing on GitHub Actions), and uplift reliability, observability, and cost governance across EC2- and ECS-based services.

You’ll build the platform patterns, automation, and guardrails that turn hand-rolled scripts and JSON task definitions into clean, reusable IaC—and make staging a true place for end-to-end testing. Your work will directly accelerate how engineering, product, and leadership teams ship safely at scale.

Respondology is  an AI-powered social engagement platform that modernizes how social marketers moderate, listen to, and respond to comments at scale. Fast to deploy. Easy to use. Trusted by hundreds of leading brands to optimize their organic and paid social performance.

This is a REMOTE role with required travel to Boulder, CO twice per year. We are open to candidates in the US or Canada.

The ideal candidate

• 5+ years operating AWS production workloads (ECS / Fargate, EC2, VPC, IAM, ALB).
• IaC expert : modules, environments, state strategy, CI / CD integration, testing, and policy-as-code.
• Strong GitHub Actions CI / CD (migrate from CircleCI / Makefiles; build / release for Python on ECS and Ruby on EC2).
• Observability with Datadog / CloudWatch (dashboards, alerts, SLOs, on-call runbooks, postmortems).

Security-first : IAM least privilege, AWS Secrets Manager, AWS Inspector, WAF / Config guardrails.
