Senior DevOps Engineer
About this role
The DevOps Engineer will work within the Platform Engineering team and help provide the infrastructure, tooling, and automation that supports Karbon’s engineering teams. This role focuses on improving deployment workflows, platform reliability, and operational visibility across our cloud platform.
Our Engineering Standards
Balance Speed and Quality
Engineers are expected to balance delivery speed with a strong commitment to quality, meeting agreed timelines while producing reliable, maintainable, and well-tested solutions. Sound judgment in making trade-offs between velocity and long-term sustainability is essential.
Collaborate Effectively
Engineering is collaborative by default. Team members are expected to contribute constructively in design discussions, reviews, and planning, communicate clearly about progress and risks, and support shared team outcomes in both hybrid and distributed environments.
Build and Maintain Systems
Engineers are responsible for building new capabilities while maintaining and improving existing systems. This includes designing scalable solutions, reducing technical debt, supporting operational stability, and contributing to continuous improvement.
Operate with Autonomy
A high degree of autonomy is expected. Given clear objectives, engineers should independently translate problems into actionable technical approaches, proactively identify improvements, and continuously expand relevant technical expertise.
Ownership and Accountability
Ownership is fundamental. Engineers are accountable for the quality, performance, and customer impact of their work from design through post-release support, and are expected to follow through on commitments.
AI-Enabled Engineering
AI is reshaping how software is built, and we are committed to leveraging it as a force multiplier for creativity, impact, and capability. Engineers are expected to confidently apply strong technical fundamentals while embracing AI tools and approaches to enhance productivity, problem-solving, and innovation. Curiosity, adaptability, and enthusiasm for integrating AI into meaningful product development are essential.
Contribute to Team Culture
Engineers contribute positively to a culture of professionalism, transparency, low bureaucracy, and mutual respect, strengthening team performance through authenticity, curiosity, and collaboration.
Some of your main responsibilities will include:
- Building, maintaining, and improving CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows using GitHub Actions and Jenkins to enable reliable production releases
- Developing and maintaining Infrastructure as Code and automated provisioning using tools such as Terraform, ARM templates, CloudFormation.
- Supporting configuration management using Chef
- Supporting containerised workloads using Docker and Azure Container Apps
- Building and maintaining monitoring, alerting, and observability systems using Datadog and OpenTelemetry
- Monitoring the security, performance, and availability of infrastructure and applications
- Investigating and resolving infrastructure and platform-related issues
- Working with engineering teams to deploy infrastructure changes safely and efficiently
- Contributing to disaster recovery, environment management, and operational resilience
- Assisting with cloud cost optimisation
- Delivering operational support for the platform as part of a team on-call roster rotation
- Working closely with Engineering and Product teams to implement DevOps solutions and improve developer workflows
About You
Candidates with the following characteristics and experience are encouraged to apply:
- 5+ years of experience working in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering
- Experience supporting Azure cloud environments
- Good understanding of DevOps practices and infrastructure fundamentals (Linux, Windows, DNS, TCP/IP, networking)
- Experience building CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar tools
- Experience working with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform
- Experience with Docker containerisation and cloud-native application deployments
- Experience using configuration management tools such as Chef
- Experience implementing monitoring and observability using tools such as Datadog and OpenTelemetry
- Experience automating workflows using PowerShell, Bash, Python, or similar scripting languages
- Experience working with Git-based repositories and modern development workflows
- Familiarity with high-availability systems, microservice architectures, and distributed systems
- Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across engineering teams
- A proactive approach to problem-solving and improving platform reliability
AI is reshaping how software gets built, and at Karbon we’re fully committed. We don’t see AI as a replacement for engineers. We see it as a force multiplier that will elevate creativity, impact and capability to levels we’ve barely begun to imagine. We’re looking for developers who are confident in their fundamentals, driven to grow, and excited to harness AI to build something meaningful. If you’re energized by this future rather than cautious of it, you’ll feel right at home here.
Our Core Technology Stack
We build modern, scalable software on a thoughtfully designed stack:
- Frontend: TypeScript and JavaScript across Ember (today), React, and React Native.
- Backend: .NET / C# (Web API, .NET Core) powering distributed services.
- Data: SQL Server with performance and integrity at scale.
- Cloud: Microsoft Azure.
- Observability: Metrics, logging, alerting, and dashboards in Datadog — because we believe you can’t improve what you don’t measure.
Our architecture continues to evolve as we scale. We invest in event-driven systems, well-defined microservices, and containerized deployments (Azure Container Apps) to build resilient, decoupled, and high-performing software.
If you care about clean service boundaries, reliable systems, and shipping with confidence — you’ll feel right at home here.
Why Work at Karbon?
- Gain global experience across the USA, Australia, New Zealand, UK, Canada and the Philippines
- 4 weeks annual leave plus 5 extra "Karbon Days" off a year
- Flexible working environment
- Work with (and learn from) an experienced, high-performing team
- Be part of a fast-growing company that firmly believes in promoting high performers from within
- A collaborative, team-oriented culture that embraces diversity, invests in development, and provides consistent feedback
- Generous parental leave
Karbon embraces diversity and inclusion, aligning with our values as a business. Research has shown that women and underrepresented groups are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single criteria. If you've made it this far in the job description but your past experience doesn't perfectly align, we do encourage you to still apply. You could still be the right person for the role!
We recruit and reward people based on capability and performance. We don’t discriminate based on race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, lifestyle, age, educational background, national origin, religion, physical or cognitive ability, and other diversity dimensions that may hinder inclusion in the organization.
Generally, if you are a good person, we want to talk to you. 😛
If there are any adjustments or accommodations that we can make to assist you during the recruitment process, and your journey at Karbon, contact us at people.support@karbonhq.com for a confidential discussion.
At this time, we request that agency referrals are not submitted for this position. We appreciate your understanding and encourage direct applications from interested candidates. Thank you!
