Lead DevOps Engineer

Join Tulip, a fast-growing SaaS company, as a Lead DevOps Engineer. In this role, you will coach and mentor fellow DevOps Engineers, own the deployment and continuous improvement of Tulip's multi-cloud environments, design and evolve cloud architecture, and contribute to the infrastructure technical roadmap. You will also own and improve Tulip's CI/CD infrastructure, build automation tooling, define observability standards, and mentor junior and mid-level engineers. This position offers a flexible work environment, unlimited vacation policy, and competitive benefits.

• Coaching and mentoring fellow DevOps Engineers on technical best practices, tooling, and operational patterns.
• Owning the deployment, health, and continuous improvement of Tulip's multi-cloud, multi-region SaaS environments.
• Designing and evolving cloud architecture to ensure customer availability, stability, and performance as Tulip scales globally.
• You're a senior infrastructure engineer who believes that the best system is one that runs itself
• You thrive on building automation that eliminates toil, designing for resilience at global scale, and owning the full lifecycle of cloud infrastructure — from architecture to observability
• You bring a bias for action and a continuous improvement mindset to everything you do: if something can be automated, you'll automate it; if a system is fragile, you'll make it robust
• You're equally comfortable diving deep into a production incident and partnering with developers to make their lives easier
• Exposure to modern programming or scripting languages used in infrastructure contexts (e.g., Go, TypeScript, Python, Bash)
• Proven experience mentoring and coaching engineers — whether formally or informally — and a genuine interest in developing the people around you
• Comfort driving team rituals — sprint planning, standups, retrospectives — and contributing to a high-performing team culture
• 5-7+ years of hands-on DevOps or Infrastructure Engineering experience, with demonstrated ownership of production cloud environments at scale
• Experience managing enterprise-grade data persistence layers, including NoSQL and SQL databases, key/value stores, and messaging systems (e.g., AMQP, MQTT)
• Proficiency with modern cloud infrastructure tooling — experience with Kubernetes, Helm, Terraform, Ansible, and major cloud providers (AWS and/or Azure) is highly relevant
• Familiarity with observability and monitoring tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Mimir, Thanos, Grafana) and a strong understanding of what good SRE practice looks like in a fast-growing SaaS environment
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
• We know even great candidates experience imposter syndrome. Even if you don’t match every requirement, applying gives you the opportunity to be considered
