Senior DevOps Engineer

As an Ecolab Senior DevOps Engineer, you will be involved in the design, execution and operation of the build, release, infrastructure, observability, and runtime engineering practices that enable product teams to ship and operate secure, scalable, and reliable digital solutions.

This role is not limited to infrastructure automation; it also requires a strong full-stack engineering flavor, with the ability to understand how frontend, backend, and data services come together in Linux embedded systems.

You will work closely with software engineers, team Leads, architects, and platform teams to ensure systems are deployable, observable, supportable, and cost-aware. You will participate in CI/CD design, environment standardization, release automation, platform reliability, cloud-native deployment practices, and engineering enablement across the SDLC.

The ideal candidate brings experience in DevOps, cloud platforms, automation, platform engineering, containerization, release engineering, observability, along with practical understanding of application architecture, full-stack delivery patterns, and production support expectations.

What You Will Do

• Participate in the design, implementation, and continuous improvement of CI/CD pipelines, deployment workflows, environment strategies, and release automation for digital and connected devices.
• Build and operate cloud-native infrastructure and runtime platforms that support backend services, APIs, UI applications, and integrations.
• Partner with engineering teams to improve deployment, testability, scalability, observability, and operational resilience across the full product stack
• Design and maintain infrastructure-as-code, environment provisioning, secrets management, access control, and deployment consistency across development, test, and production environments
• Support delivery of containerized services, microservices, and event-driven systems.
• Contribute to architecture and delivery discussions by bringing a strong understanding of Embedded Linux, runtime dependencies, and full-stack production patterns
• Implement and optimize observability using logs, traces, metrics, distributed tracing, dashboards, alerts, and cost / capacity signals
• Collaborate with security, architecture, and platform teams to ensure solutions meet requirements for security, reliability, compliance, supportability, and scale
