We're looking for a hands-on engineering leader to build and own the Release Engineering, SecDevOps, and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) functions for Infinia. This is a foundational role: you'll define how our software is built, secured, released, and kept running at enterprise scale.
If you thrive at the intersection of infrastructure automation, operational excellence, and team building — and you want your work to directly shape the reliability and velocity of a market-leading storage platform — this is your role.
What You'll Do
Release Engineering
-
Own the end-to-end release pipeline — build systems, artifact management, versioning, and release gating
-
Drive automation of build, test, and packaging workflows to maximize developer velocity
-
Define release cadence, branching strategies, and code freeze processes with engineering leadership
DevOps and SecDevOps
-
Architect and operate scalable CI/CD pipelines and developer toolchains for on-prem and cloud
-
Embed security into the SDLC — SAST, DAST, dependency scanning, secrets management
-
Champion automation-first DevOps practices from commit to production delivery
Site Reliability Engineering
-
Define SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets; own incident response and post-mortem culture
-
Drive observability — logging, metrics, distributed tracing — across the platform
-
Influence reliability and operability early, at design and code-review stages
-
Lead capacity planning and infrastructure scaling decisions
Leadership
-
Build, mentor, and grow teams across all three disciplines in a global, distributed org
-
Communicate roadmap and risks to senior leadership; partner cross-functionally with product, QA, and security
What You Bring
-
12+ years in DevOps, Release Engineering, or SRE — with 5+ years managing engineering teams
-
Deep experience with CI/CD platforms (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, Tekton, or similar)
-
Infrastructure-as-code fluency: Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi, or equivalent
-
Container orchestration expertise: Kubernetes and Docker in production
-
Practical DevSecOps background — you've shipped security tooling, not just talked about it
-
SRE chops: SLO/SLI design, on-call frameworks, observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry)
-
Strong communicator — you can translate complex technical tradeoffs for exec and non-technical audiences
Bonus Points
-
Experience with storage, distributed systems, or infrastructure software
-
Familiarity with HPC, AI/ML infrastructure, or enterprise data platforms
-
Background scaling DevOps in high-growth, globally distributed environments
-
Exposure to SOC 2, ISO 27001, or FedRAMP compliance requirements
Why DDN
-
Work on infrastructure that underpins some of the world's most demanding AI and research workloads
-
Greenfield opportunity to shape Release Engineering, DevOps, and SRE from the ground up for Infinia
-
Collaborative, engineering-first culture that values autonomy, technical depth, and continuous learning
-
Competitive compensation, remote-first flexibility, and a team that genuinely enjoys solving hard problems
