Ready to take the next step in your international career? We can support you!

Ubiminds is a GPTW-certified, people-first company that partners with American software product companies to scale their global teams. We curate top LATAM talent and connect professionals with long-term, high-impact opportunities while providing full employer-of-record support.

In this role, you’ll join a team focused on modernizing CI/CD pipelines and building systems, helping transform legacy processes into fast, reliable, and automated delivery workflows.

Challenge

We’re looking for a hands-on DevOps Engineer who genuinely enjoys untangling legacy build pipelines and turning them into clean, scalable, and automated systems.

This is not a maintenance-only role. You’ll be responsible for analyzing existing CI/CD workflows, identifying bottlenecks, and driving modernization efforts that directly improve developer productivity, delivery speed, and system reliability.

Responsibilities:

• Analyze and assess legacy CI/CD pipelines, identifying inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and manual processes.
• Design and implement modern CI/CD pipelines with automated testing, security checks, and optimized deployments.
• Migrate existing infrastructure and build processes to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using AWS CloudFormation.
• Define and standardize “golden paths” for build and deployment workflows across environments.
• Improve pipeline observability through logging, monitoring, and alerting to ensure fast and actionable feedback.
• Collaborate closely with engineering teams to improve build reliability and deployment confidence.
• Own CI/CD improvements end-to-end, from design through production rollout.
• Proactively contribute to improving DevOps practices, tooling, and engineering efficiency.

Mandatory Skills:

• 3–5 years of experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering.
• Proficiency in scripting and automation using Python, Bash, and C#.
• Strong coding experience with Python and C#.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code using AWS CloudFormation (required).
• Proven experience modernizing or migrating legacy CI/CD pipelines.
• Strong hands-on experience with CI/CD tools (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps).
• Solid experience with Docker and Kubernetes.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD concepts, build optimization, and deployment strategies.
• Experience working with legacy systems (custom scripts, XML configurations, manual processes).
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently.
• Clear and confident English communication skills.

Nice to Have:

• Experience implementing security scanning and compliance checks within CI/CD pipelines.
• Familiarity with secrets management and state handling in DevOps environments.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred).
• Experience working in high-availability or production-critical environments.
• Prior experience defining DevOps standards or platform best practices.

Team & Environment:

• Distributed, international engineering team.
• Strong ownership culture — engineers drive solutions end to end.
• Focus on modernization, automation, and developer experience.
• High autonomy to propose and implement improvements.
• Collaborative environment with direct impact on engineering velocity.
