What the job really is

As a Staff DevOps Engineer at Nextiva, you will lead the design and evolution of the platform engineering practice with a focus on Kubernetes infrastructure. Your responsibilities will include establishing deployment workflows, architecting service mesh strategies, and mentoring engineers while ensuring platform reliability and scalability. This role emphasizes collaboration with AI/ML teams to support their infrastructure needs and drive capacity planning across cloud environments.

Things to weigh
  • Role is remote but requires onsite presence for team members within 80 kilometers of Guadalajara, which may limit flexibility for some candidates.
  • No specific salary range mentioned, which could lead to uncertainty during negotiations.
  • Focus on Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure may not appeal to those looking for broader DevOps responsibilities.
