Job Overview
At BusPatrol, we are transforming student transportation safety through modern cloud platforms, secure automation, and real-time operational excellence. We are seeking a hands-on Sr DevOps Engineer to help build and evolve the engineering paved road across infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, cloud security, and developer workflows. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys turning manual, inconsistent processes into reliable systems that make engineering teams faster, safer, and more effective.
You will play a key role in BusPatrol’s platform modernization and AI-native SDLC journey. That includes supporting secure, spec-driven engineering workflows, strengthening CI/CD and policy gates, improving delivery reliability, and helping teams adopt repeatable AI-enabled development practices without compromising security, compliance, or production readiness.
Design, provision, and maintain cloud infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code patterns, reusable modules, and secure platform standards.
Help define and improve the engineering paved road for service delivery, release patterns, environment consistency, and platform guardrails.
Build, maintain, and harden CI/CD pipelines that support safe build, test, release, promotion, rollback, and change visibility across services and environments.
Improve pipeline quality gates with automated security scanning, dependency checks, and policy enforcement where appropriate.
Strengthen observability across applications and infrastructure by standardizing logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, alerts, and operational runbooks.
Partner with engineering teams to improve reliability, performance, recovery time, and production readiness.
Support secure AI-enabled software delivery by helping teams operationalize spec-driven workflows, AI-assisted PR practices, automated test generation, and controlled release readiness checks.
Contribute to AI delivery systems that are secure, repeatable, observable, and aligned with BusPatrol guardrails for sensitive data, secrets, and production change control.
Improve developer experience through self-service tooling, templates, documentation, and workflow automation that reduce toil and help teams ship with confidence.
Help make the easiest path the safest and most repeatable one for engineers across product and platform teams.
Participate in incident response, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement efforts.
Use operational data and engineering feedback to reduce recurring issues, strengthen controls, and improve the overall delivery system.
Collaborate closely with software engineering, security, architecture, MLOps, and IT teams to deliver scalable internal platforms and high-trust operational practices.
Help connect day-to-day DevOps execution with BusPatrol’s broader modernization, reliability, and AI adoption goals.
