About the Role

As a Senior DevOps Validation Engineer, you will build software and automation that validates infrastructure, deployment pipelines and cloud environments before changes reach production. This is not a traditional QA role. You will work as an embedded member of the DevOps organization and apply software engineering principles to infrastructure validation, release confidence and operational resilience. You will develop reusable validation frameworks, automate testing of infrastructure-as-code, verify cloud and networking changes, test failure and recovery scenarios and integrate automated safeguards into CI/CD workflows. You will work closely with DevOps, Platform Engineering, Security and Compliance teams to identify risk earlier in the delivery lifecycle and improve the reliability of Keeper’s cloud environments.

Responsibilities

Design and build automated validation frameworks for cloud infrastructure, infrastructure-as-code and deployment workflows

Develop production-quality automation and test utilities using Python, Go or similar programming languages

Validate AWS infrastructure including VPCs, subnets, routing, NAT gateways, IAM, security groups, load balancers and related services

Build automated validation for Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible and other infrastructure-as-code implementations

Integrate infrastructure and deployment validation into CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI or similar platforms

Develop automated integration, regression, smoke, resilience and failure-recovery tests for infrastructure and platform changes

Test Kubernetes and containerized environments for configuration, reliability, scalability and security

Verify that application and platform services continue to function correctly as infrastructure and deployment configurations evolve

Validate infrastructure hardening and configuration against CIS benchmarks, DISA STIGs and applicable compliance requirements

Build reusable tooling that detects configuration drift, deployment defects and infrastructure regressions before production release

Analyze logs, metrics and telemetry to troubleshoot complex cloud and infrastructure failures

Partner with DevOps and Platform engineers to improve infrastructure testability, deployment safety and release confidence

Contribute to engineering reviews involving infrastructure changes, automation design and operational risk

Support audit readiness and continuous compliance through repeatable automated validation and technical evidence

Improve observability and diagnostic capabilities for infrastructure validation workflows

Use AI-assisted tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot or similar platforms to accelerate coding, debugging, root-cause analysis, technical research and documentation

Requirements

Experience building internal developer tools, validation frameworks or infrastructure automation platforms

Experience with automated infrastructure testing frameworks such as Terratest, pytest or similar technologies

Experience testing Kubernetes infrastructure, container security or deployment resilience

Experience with AWS GovCloud, Azure Government or other regulated cloud environments

Experience validating infrastructure in FedRAMP High, DoD IL5 or similarly regulated environments

Familiarity with vulnerability scanning, configuration drift detection, policy-as-code or compliance-as-code tooling

Experience with secrets management, IAM, PAM or zero-trust security architectures

Familiarity with chaos engineering, resilience testing or automated failure injection

AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform or related technical certifications
