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 evaluate legacy CI/CD pipelines, identifying inefficiencies, failure points, and manual steps.

- Design and implement modern CI/CD pipelines with automated testing, security checks, and streamlined deployments.

- Migrate manual infrastructure and build configurations to Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation.

- Define and implement standardized “golden paths” for build and deployment workflows across environments.

- Improve pipeline observability by implementing logging, monitoring, and alerting, ensuring fast and actionable feedback for developers.

- Collaborate closely with software engineers to improve build reliability and deployment confidence.

- Take ownership of CI/CD improvements from design through production rollout.

- Actively contribute ideas to improve DevOps practices, tooling, and overall engineering efficiency.

Mandatory Skills:

- 3–5 years of experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering.

- Proven experience modernizing or migrating legacy CI/CD pipelines.

- Strong hands-on experience with CI/CD tools such as GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps.

- Solid experience with containerization using Docker and orchestration platforms like Kubernetes.

- Proficiency in scripting and automation using Python, Bash, or Go.

- Experience working with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar).

- Strong understanding of CI/CD concepts, build optimization, and deployment strategies.

- Comfortable working in environments with legacy systems (custom scripts, XML configs, manual processes).

- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently.

- Clear and confident English communication skills (written and verbal).

Nice to Have:

- Experience implementing security scanning and compliance checks within CI/CD pipelines.

- Familiarity with secrets management and state handling in modern DevOps environments.

- Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).

- Experience working in high-availability or production-critical environments.

- Prior involvement in 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.
