DevOps Software Engineer

IQ Inc. is seeking an experienced DevOps Engineer (mid–senior level) who thrives on solving complex problems, supporting diverse teams, and delivering dependable, scalable cloud and automation solutions.

This role offers the chance to take ownership of DevOps initiatives across a wide range of products, system architectures, and client environments. If you enjoy working autonomously, balancing multiple projects, and influencing DevOps best practices across an organization, this could be a great fit.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect, implement, and maintain cloud-based infrastructure in AWS and Azure
• Develop and manage Infrastructure as Code using Terraform (with exposure to Bicep and/or CloudFormation where appropriate)
• Design and build robust CI/CD pipelines leveraging Azure DevOps
• Support and enhance multiple parallel environments (development, testing, staging/demo, and production)
• Containerize applications with Docker and contribute to Kubernetes-based deployments when needed
• Incorporate automated testing into continuous integration and delivery workflows
• Enforce security best practices, including least-privilege access, audit logging, and dependency/SBOM scanning
• Establish logging, monitoring, alerting, and incident response processes
• Participate in incident reviews, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement efforts
• Promote cost-efficiency through tagging strategies, usage monitoring, and rightsizing initiatives
• Maintain clear documentation covering systems, architectures, and operational procedures
• Work independently while collaborating across multiple teams and client engagements

Additional Contributions

During periods of lower DevOps demand, contribute directly to application development efforts. Ideal candidates bring hands-on experience with software engineering—preferably in technologies such as .NET/C#, Angular, or Python—and are comfortable working within production codebases.

Required Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or similar roles
• Demonstrated expertise with both AWS and Azure cloud platforms
• Strong hands-on experience with Terraform for infrastructure provisioning
• Proven ability to design and implement CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps
• Solid understanding of containerization principles and Docker workflows
• Experience managing multi-environment deployment strategies
• Background integrating automated testing into pipeline workflows
• Familiarity with security and compliance considerations (e.g., HIPAA, HITRUST)
• Working knowledge of IAM best practices, audit trails, and dependency scanning tools
• Ability to manage competing priorities across multiple environments with minimal oversight
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with attention to documentation

Preferred / Bonus Experience

• Exposure to Kubernetes or container orchestration platforms
• Experience with Bicep and/or AWS CloudFormation
• Familiarity with observability tools (logging, metrics, alerting systems)
• Experience leading or contributing to incident response processes and postmortems
• Background in consulting or supporting cross-functional teams across multiple clients
• Experience with cloud cost management and optimization strategies
