DevOps Engineer, Six-Month Contract

About the role

Peregrine Remote is hiring a platform engineer on a fully remote basis. This role owns the path from a merged pull request to a running, observable service, and the on-call experience that follows it. Because a mistake here reaches every team at once, we care about production experience and blast-radius thinking far more than about certifications.

We hire anywhere and pay one global band in US dollars rather than discounting by country, because the work is the same wherever it is done. Contracts are arranged through a local employer of record where we cannot employ you directly.

What the work actually looks like

You will work on CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and the observability stack, and you will spend real time removing the toil the rest of engineering has quietly learned to live with. Incidents are reviewed blamelessly and the actions that come out of them are actually scheduled. The role is fully remote and we hire from anywhere the overlap window works.

What we look for

This is a senior individual-contributor role. You will be expected to push back on requirements that do not make sense and to set the technical direction for your part of the product. We are looking for someone fluent in Kubernetes and Terraform who can also write decent code, and who treats a runbook as a product with users. Experience defining SLOs and making them mean something is a strong signal.

Working at Peregrine Remote

The team is asynchronous by default: decisions are written down, the meeting load is low, and we ask only for a four-hour overlap with Central European Time. This is a contract engagement and the range shown is a DAY rate, inclusive of the usual contract premium.
