What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to help operate, scale, and evolve our Bluecat Cloud SaaS platform

- Maintain and evolve an EKS-based platform, including cluster upgrades, add-ons, and operational tooling
- Manage Kubernetes workloads using Helm and standard deployment and release practices
- Build, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines to support safe, repeatable, and efficient deployments
- Automate infrastructure and operational workflows using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred)
- Participate in an on-call rotation, respond to customer-impacting production incidents, and lead troubleshooting efforts
- Drive incidents through resolution, perform root cause analysis (RCA), and implement preventative improvements
- Troubleshoot Kubernetes networking, ingress, service discovery, and workload-level issues
- Improve system resiliency and reduce operational toil through automation, standardization, and better deployment practices as more services move to Kubernetes
- Observability & Operational Readiness:
- Implement and maintain monitoring, alerting, and logging solutions (CloudWatch, Prometheus, Grafana, InfluxDB, etc.)
- Improve alert quality and operational visibility to support effective on-call response
- Partner with application teams to ensure services are production-ready and operationally supportable
- Collaboration & Engineering Excellence
- Work closely with engineers across Toronto and Serbia teams to support production systems
- Contribute to run books, operational documentation, and incident response processes
- Provide technical guidance and informal mentorship to junior DevOps and SRE engineers
Our take
DNS (Domain Name System) is the backbone of internet navigation, translating domain names into IP addresses to connect users with websites. However, many enterprises still rely on outdated DNS systems, which can severely hinder IT operations. BlueCat addresses these issues by providing advanced DDI (DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management) solutions, offering businesses a faster, more efficient way to manage their network infrastructure.
BlueCat's solutions accelerate the adoption of cloud computing and automation, making it highly attractive to large-scale enterprises looking to strewamline IT operations and reduce costs. By simplifying complex network management, BlueCat helps companies enhance efficiency and adapt to modern technological needs.
The company is making significant strides, with the recent announcement of new capabilities to help organizations modernized their network infrastructure. Alongside this, it also appointed a new Chief Product and Chief Technology Officer, and partnered with Grupo Dice to transform DDI management across Mexico and Latin America These exciting developments signal a bright future for BlueCat as it continues to lead the way in network modernization.
