The Role

The Veeva PLM team is seeking a Principal DevOpsEngineer to design and build our next-gen infrastructure on AWS. Lead the migration of our platform and create a new, scalable environment from scratch. You'll have complete ownership over tooling and the CI/CD pipeline in a startup-like setting. This is for a hands-on, self-starter who thrives on balancing performance, cost, and reliability.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead the architectural vision. You'll provide deep expertise in cloud architecture, design patterns, and modern programming to build a highly scalable and reliable infrastructure.
  • Drive DevOps best practices . You'll implement a robust Infrastructure as Code (IaC) strategy, using tools like Terraform and Ansible to manage, deploy, and scale our infrastructure.
  • Build the CI/CD pipeline. You'll design and manage end-to-end CI/CD workflows, automating processes to make our development lifecycle across Development, QA, Stage and production deployments more efficient and seamless.
  • Ensure platform reliability. You'll focus on the core pillars of reliability—durability, availability, performance, and correctness—to minimize the risk of failures.
  • Shape the future of our stack. You'll recommend and implement architectural enhancements, security policies, and new methodologies that will define how we operate.

Requirements

  • Experienced DevOps Professional: You have at least 5 years of hands-on experience in a DevOps role, with a strong focus on automation, tooling, and building distributed, scalable systems.
  • AWS Expertise: You have extensive experience in designing and implementing deployment architectures within the AWS cloud environment . You have a deep understanding of core AWS services like VPC, EKS, EC2, IAM, S3 , and more.
  • Containerization & Orchestration: You have hands-on experience designing and deploying applications using Kubernetes and other container technologies.
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): You are skilled in using IaC tools like Terraform or Ansible .
  • CI/CD & Git: You are an expert in GitLab and have experience with continuous integration tools like Jenkins or GitLab CI/CD .
  • Monitoring & Observability: You have solid understanding with monitoring frameworks for tracking system health and performance. Experience with Grafana, Prometheus, and Elasticsearch is a plus.
  • Applicants must have the unrestricted right to work in the United States. Veeva will not provide sponsorship at this time

Nice to Have

  • Proficiency in scripting languages like Bash or Groovy.
  • Experience with observability tools (Grafana, Prometheus, Elasticsearch).
  • Knowledge of artifact management solutions (Nexus, ECR).

  • Flexible PTO and company paid holidays
  • Retirement programs
  • 1% charitable giving program
