Advise software engineering teams on infrastructure platforms, container strategies, and DevOps methodologies.

Evaluate, recommend, and implement tools to improve integration and delivery pipelines across multi-stack product environments.

Translate corporate security governance into actionable, compliant platform architectures and deployment patterns.

Perform risk assessments, evaluate architectural tradeoffs, and provide high-level estimates for initial project roadmaps.

Mentor and influence development teams to accelerate the adoption of automated security and deployment practices.

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.

10+ years of progressive experience in IT, with extensive leadership in DevOps and platform engineering.

In-depth knowledge of container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, OpenShift), continuous delivery tools (ArgoCD, Helm), and service mesh architecture (Istio).

Solid experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions).

Industry certification in cloud and platform operations (e.g., AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, SysOps Administrator, or Solutions Architect) or equivalent demonstrated field experience.

Fluency in French.

Our client operates in Canada. The company takes all reasonable steps to limit the number of positions in Quebec that require knowledge of a language other than French, and only requires it when necessary and its existing bilingual employees are unable to perform these duties. Based on an assessment conducted by our client, it has been determined that this position requires candidates to be fluent in English (both spoken and written). In particular, this position will require the employee to interact with centralized internal departments (e.g., Operations / HR / Finance / Legal / Contracts / Sales) that support the organization in Canada and that do not speak French.
