Summary

An Augeo DevOps Lead will serve as the senior technical leader responsible for the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of Augeo’s CI/CD pipelines, container infrastructure, cloud environments, and DevSecOps practices across the entire engineering organization. This is a cross\-platform leadership role spanning three distinct technology ecosystems: the AWE platform (TypeScript/React/Node.js/AWS), the Encore platform (.NET/C\#/SQL Server), and our ColdFusion platforms (Lucee/ColdBox/MySQL) – each with unique build, deployment, and infrastructure requirements. You’ll own the strategy and execution of Augeo’s DevOps and DevSecOps roadmap, driving automation at every stage of the software delivery lifecycle while embedding security into pipelines and infrastructure from the ground up.

You’ll lead by example in leveraging AI\-powered operations tools and agentic AI assistants to automate infrastructure provisioning, security scanning, incident response, and deployment workflows. You’ll mentor engineers across all three platforms on DevOps best practices and establish Augeo’s DevOps function as a model for AI\-enabled, security\-first infrastructure operations that accelerate delivery velocity while reducing risk.

High\-level Job Requirements

• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitHub Actions across the AWE, Encore, and ColdFusion platforms, ensuring fast, reliable, and repeatable builds, tests, and deployments
• Define and enforce pipeline\-as\-code standards, managing Jenkinsfiles and GitHub Actions workflows in version control with proper branching, approval gates, and environment promotion strategies
• Automate build, test, and deployment processes end\-to\-end, minimizing manual intervention and reducing time\-to\-production across all platforms

• Develop and maintain PowerShell scripts and automation tooling for infrastructure provisioning, configuration management, deployment automation, and operational tasks across Windows and Linux environments
• Establish automated security compliance checks and vulnerability remediation workflows, ensuring continuous compliance with SOC 2 Type II, and supporting PCI\-DSS and other regulatory requirements as needed
• Conduct regular security audits of infrastructure, pipelines, and deployment configurations, proactively identifying and remediating vulnerabilities before they reach production
• Leverage AI\-powered operations tools (AIOps) and agentic AI assistants to automate infrastructure monitoring, anomaly detection, incident triage, capacity planning, and automated remediation workflows
• Design and deploy AI agents to accelerate DevOps workflows – automating security scanning, deployment validations, log analysis, runbook execution, and infrastructure drift detection
• Own incident response and production reliability practices, including on\-call processes, post\-incident reviews, and continuous improvement of system resilience
• Embrace Augeo’s CORE values – Collaborative, Objective, Responsive and Earnest in all areas
