ELITS is looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer (Streaming & Distributed Systems) for our operations in Canada. This position is fully remote within Canada.

About the position:

As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will be a key member of our platform team, responsible for designing, building and operating scalable, cloud‑native infrastructure and tooling that powers real‑time and distributed systems. You will work closely with development, data and operations teams to ensure reliable streaming, high availability and smooth deployments in production.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Design, deploy and operate containerized microservices and distributed systems in production Kubernetes environments.

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines to enable frequent, reliable releases and automated testing.

• Implement and manage real‑time streaming data platforms (for example, Kafka or similar technologies) for low‑latency, high‑throughput workloads.

• Design and operate infrastructure with a strong focus on reliability, performance and cost‑efficiency across cloud and on‑prem/hybrid environments.

• Own infrastructure as code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform and Helm for repeatable, auditable environments.

• Monitor, troubleshoot and optimize Linux‑based systems, containers and services, including performance tuning and incident response.

• Collaborate with development teams to improve operability, observability and resilience of services (SRE mindset).

• Document architectures, runbooks and operational procedures, and contribute to continuous improvement of processes and tooling.

Requirements:

• 10+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering or similar roles.

• Strong hands‑on experience with streaming technologies and real‑time data processing (for example, Apache Kafka, Kinesis, Pulsar or equivalent).

• Solid background in distributed systems: microservices, event‑driven architectures, scalability and fault tolerance.

• Strong understanding of hardware and infrastructure concepts (servers, networking, storage) and experience with on‑prem or hybrid environments.

• Deep knowledge of Linux/Unix operating systems, system internals, performance and troubleshooting.

• Extensive experience with cloud‑native technologies:

• Containers and orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes (AKS/EKS/GKE or similar)

• Infrastructure as Code: Terraform, Helm (and/or similar tools)

• CI/CD pipelines: GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Argo CD or equivalent

• Observability: monitoring, logging and alerting (for example, ELK/EFK, Prometheus, Grafana).

• Experience with at least one major cloud provider (Azure, AWS or GCP); Azure experience is a strong asset.

• Good understanding of networking (VPN, IPsec, load balancing, DNS, certificates).

• Experience with agile ways of working and tools such as JIRA and Git.

• Strong debugging and troubleshooting abilities across multiple layers (application, infrastructure, network).

• Ability to understand users’ technical issues and provide clear, pragmatic recommendations.

• Fluent in English (spoken and written).

Nice to have:

• Experience with Java or another backend language (for example, Go, Python) in a DevOps/platform context.

• Experience with system testing or test automation for distributed systems and APIs.

• Experience with security best practices in cloud‑native environments (secrets management, hardening, RBAC, IAM).

Qualities:

We believe you will thrive in this role if you:

• Are communicative, collaborative and have a positive attitude towards customers and colleagues.

• Have strong analytical skills, logical reasoning and excellent problem‑solving ability.

• Take ownership and show autonomy, initiative and resourcefulness.

• Are a team player who is organized and strives for high quality and reliable results.

• Can coordinate and handle multiple tasks and stakeholders at the same time.

• Are proactive in identifying improvements in reliability, performance and developer experience.

If you are a social, flexible and structured person with a strong interest in streaming, distributed systems and modern DevOps practices – and you enjoy working with the latest cloud‑native technologies – send us your application today!

Position is open to Canadian residents (persons with a valid work permit in Canada).
