About the role

  • You will inherit a capable, distributed team and a meaningful technical foundation: self-hosted GitLab for CI/CD, multi-cloud infrastructure across AWS and GCP, Kubernetes (EKS) workloads, and an on-premises VMware estate.
  • If you thrive at the intersection of platform engineering, cloud infrastructure, and security automation - and you want to be the person who sets the standard - this role is for you.
  • Serve as the primary technical decision-maker for the DevOps function - architecture, tooling choices, prioritization, and delivery standards.

Responsibilities

  • We're building a team that holds a high bar and pushes each other to improve.
  • You'll work alongside experienced operators, engineers, and leaders who have done this before and are building again at scale.
  • We value empathy just as much as execution, whether that's in how we build, how we communicate, or how we support each other.
  • Your mandate is to level up this foundation, drive down delivery friction for the broader engineering organization, and make strong technical decisions without needing direction for day-to-day operations.
  • Partner with Engineering, QA, and Product leadership to reduce delivery friction and improve DORA metrics (lead time, deployment frequency, MTTR, change fail rate).
  • Drive maturity of the CI/CD Catalog and shared template library (ci-common/gitlab-templates), ensuring teams can self-serve without bespoke pipeline configuration.
  • Litmus is committed to building an inclusive team.
  • Own and drive the AI transformation of the DevOps function - identifying where AI tooling can meaningfully reduce toil, accelerate delivery, and improve reliability across the engineering organization.

Requirements

  • You'll have ownership, visibility, and the ability to shape both product and company as we scale.

Skills

  • Establish and enforce merge request standards, branch protection policies, and CODEOWNERS governance across the GitLab organization.
  • Kubernetes & Cloud Infrastructure

Compensation

  • CA$145,000 - CA$185,000 base salary, commensurate with experience.

Benefits

  • Build and own the internal developer platform vision - reducing cognitive load on engineers, QA, and program managers through self-service tooling and automation.
  • Drive a metrics-first culture for the DevOps function, using DORA metrics and custom platform health indicators to guide roadmap decisions.
  • Represent the DevOps function at the leadership level, including communicating roadmap, risks, and platform health to the Head of Technology and broader Technology leadership.
  • Own the self-hosted GitLab platform - upgrades, runner fleet management (VMware-hosted and cloud), and platform health.
  • Total package includes benefits, equity participation, and professional development allowance.

Equal opportunity

  • Litmus is committed to building an inclusive team. We encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds and will provide accommodation throughout the recruitment process upon request.
