Remote DevOps Engineer jobs

24 open positions in the United States, newest first.

DevOps engineers build and run the systems that take code from a developer's laptop to production and keep it running there. They own build and deployment pipelines, cloud infrastructure defined as code, and the monitoring that shows whether services are healthy. Their aim is to let development teams release often without breaking things.

About the DevOps Engineer role

What the work looks like

  • Write and maintain CI/CD pipelines in tools such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or Jenkins.
  • Define cloud infrastructure in Terraform and review changes the same way application code is reviewed.
  • Operate Kubernetes clusters, handling version upgrades, capacity, deployments and the occasional misbehaving workload.
  • Set up dashboards and alerts with tools like Prometheus and Grafana, and tune out noisy alerts.
  • Respond to production incidents on call, restore service and write the postmortem with follow-up actions.

What employers ask for

  • AWS, Azure or Google Cloud administration
  • Terraform or similar infrastructure as code
  • Docker and Kubernetes
  • CI/CD pipeline design
  • Linux, networking and shell scripting
  • Monitoring with Prometheus, Grafana or Datadog

Doing this job remotely

The infrastructure is in the cloud, so there is nothing to be physically near, and the role is widely offered remotely. The constraint is on-call: someone must answer pages at night and on weekends, and rotations are easier with engineers spread across time zones. Access to production typically comes with strict device and credential requirements.

Where it comes from and where it leads

DevOps engineers usually come from systems administration or from software development with an interest in operations. The path continues to senior DevOps, site reliability or platform engineer, and then to infrastructure architect or engineering management.
