A well-established, European-based software organization with a growing Canadian contingent of talent in Ottawa, is seeking an experienced Senior Platform & Infrastructure Engineer to help scale, secure, and maintain their global infrastructure across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. In this role, you will bridge physical hardware management with cloud-native automation, partnering closely with SREs and development teams to ensure high availability, strong observability, and resilient operations. This is a permanent position with one of the region's top employers. Although this organization is known for their industry-leading technology, global community and progressive culture/work-life balance, they also offer competitive compensation and flexible work environment. While this organization is remote-friendly, there may be some infrequent on-call work required and thus only candidates local to Ottawa/NCR will be considered.

- Automation & IaC: Streamline operations and deployment pipelines using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, Chef, etc.) and scripting (Python, Bash, Go, etc.).
- Observability & Incident Response: Monitor system health via observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog, etc.), drive incident troubleshooting, and join on-call rotations.
- Security & Disaster Recovery: Implement security controls, execute backup testing, and build resilient disaster recovery procedures.
- Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing: Partner with developers and SREs to optimize service delivery while maintaining operational runbooks and community support documentation.
About You
- Experience: 7+ years of dedicated professional experience in Infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE environments with experience maintaining bare-metal/physical server infrastructure.
- Physical Infrastructure & Hardware: Strong knowledge of datacentre etiquette, hardware ordering and maintenance, physically racking and managing hardware and cabling.
- Linux & Containerization: Deep understanding of Linux administration and container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, Docker).
- Cloud & Distributed Systems: Hands-on experience with major cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and distributed architecture (e.g., PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch).
- Automation & IaC: Proficiency in modern scripting languages (e.g., Python, Bash, Go, Typescript, etc.) and automation/IaC frameworks (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, Chef, Puppet, etc.).
- Soft Skills & Execution: Strong written and verbal communication skills with a proven track record of delivering complex, multi-stakeholder technical projects independently.
