Who We Are

SWTCH is pioneering EV charging solutions for multifamily and commercial properties across North America. Since 2016, our team of entrepreneurs, energy professionals, and technologists has been focused on unlocking the social, economic, and environmental benefits of widespread EV adoption. Today, our solutions are deployed in tens of thousands of locations —many of which are low-to-moderate income housing—helping to make clean mobility accessible for all.

With an expanding footprint across Canada and the U.S., we’re scaling quickly and looking for mission-driven talent to help accelerate our growth.

The Opportunity

SWTCH is looking for a highly motivated DevOps Engineer to join our growing tech team. Reporting to the Director of Engineering, you will design, build, and optimize automated deployment pipelines, CI/CD workflows, and core infrastructure tooling. This is a collaborative role: you’ll work closely with development and operations teams to streamline deployment, testing, and software delivery.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain our Docker Swarm and Kubernetes platforms.
• Manage CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation, improving reliability and build speeds so new capabilities ship faster and more easily.
• Collaborate with Development and Architecture teams to build highly available cloud environments for internal and external infrastructure.
• Build and extend our toolchain, including AWS (Lambda, ElastiCache, CloudFront, CodePipeline, SSM), Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, and shell scripting.
• Maintain and enhance automation tooling and deployment infrastructure in line with SOC 2 best practices.
• Identify parts of the architecture that lack redundancy and improve reliability.
• Build monitoring, alerting, and tooling that surfaces front-end and back-end issues as soon as they happen.
• Write and maintain clear documentation for infrastructure and processes.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, release engineering, or build automation, including 3+ years with large-scale distributed infrastructure and client-server architecture.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and container technologies in a microservices environment.
• Experience deploying and managing infrastructure as code with Terraform, CloudFormation, and Ansible.
• Strong experience with AWS and cloud infrastructure automation.
• Experience with CI/CD, continuous testing, and monitoring and alerting tools such as Grafana and the ELK stack.

Nice to Have

• Experience with messaging and streaming systems such as Kafka or SQS.
• An AWS certification. If you don’t have one yet, we’re happy to sponsor your exam.
• Experience working in a SOC 2 environment.

Benefits

• Business Impact - As a core member of the team, you have the opportunity to take a supporting role and make a significant impact on the culture and values of the company.
