DevOps Engineer (Senior-Principal Levels) at Sectigo

We are building next‑generation trust infrastructure—high‑performance systems that power certificate lifecycle and emerging industry trust models. We are looking for Senior to Principal level DevOps Engineers who focus on turning complex distributed systems into production‑grade services: defining how they are deployed, operated, scaled, and recovered in real-world environments. These systems require high correctness, resilience, and operational discipline from day one. You will work closely with engineering and architecture to ensure that production readiness is not an afterthought, but a core design input. This includes collaboration across the broader ecosystem and engagement with upstream components to help shape how modern trust infrastructure is actually operated in production. This is a full-time position, working in a hybrid model, and reporting to our Ottawa office at least 3-4 days a week. The target compensation package for this role is between CAD 100,000 and CAD 150,000, subject to internal equity and years of experience.  We may make further adjustments through an approval process if the targeted compensation range needs to be modified based on business needs and market trends. Who You Are • You think beyond deployment—you think in terms of operability, failure, and recovery • You are disciplined about production reality, not just engineering intent • You enjoy working at the intersection of engineering and operations, shaping systems early • You can collaborate across teams and influence how systems are designed, not just runHere are the core functions, responsibilities, and expectations for this role:  Define and deliver production readiness • Define what “production‑ready” means for trust infrastructure systems (availability, resilience, SLOs, failure recovery) • Build and enforce observability standards (metrics, logging, tracing, alerting) aligned to real operational needs • Establish operational guardrails that prevent demo-to-production driftBuild deployment and operational systems • Design and implement deployment pipelines, rollout strategies, and rollback mechanisms • Build Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) for repeatable, reliable system deployment • Ensure systems are portable and deployable beyond single environments or cloud-native assumptionsValidate real-world behavior • Design and execute load, stress, and failure testing to validate system behavior under real conditions • Implement and test multi-region, high availability, and disaster recovery strategies • Continuously validate capacity, scaling limits, and degradation patternsCollaborate across engineering and ecosystem boundaries • Work closely with backend and architecture teams to integrate operational concerns into system design from day one • Collaborate with ecosystem partners and upstream components to align on production operability requirements • Ensure external dependencies and upstream components meet real-world operational constraintsAdditional tasks associated with this position may be assigned in response to company initiatives and business needs.
