Senior DevOps Engineer/ Toronto

A fast-moving SaaS company at the heart of customer engagement is looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to help shape the infrastructure that powers millions of real-time interactions every day. This is a rare opportunity to join a high-growth team backed by top-tier investors and trusted by household brands—while working on meaningful technical challenges at scale.

In this hybrid Toronto-based role, you’ll be embedded in a lean DevOps team building out everything from Kubernetes-native deployments to observability pipelines, CI/CD automation, and security-hardening. If you’ve ever wanted to own core infrastructure, bring cloud-native best practices to life, and leave a mark on a fast-scaling product, this is your stage. You’ll work cross-functionally, contribute architectural decisions, and help drive reliability, speed, and cost-efficiency across the platform.

This role is perfect for senior engineers who like solving tough problems, working autonomously, and mentoring others—without the red tape.
