DevOps Engineer

Job Description

At Assent, we’re solving complex technical challenges with global impact. Our multi-tenant SaaS platform helps the world’s most influential companies gain deep visibility into their supply chains—enabling them to manage risk, ensure compliance, and take real action on issues like forced labor, environmental sustainability, and ethical sourcing.

The Senior DevOps Engineer will work collaboratively with Assent’s Cloud Operations and Engineering teams to design, develop and implement continuous integration and continuous deployment solutions. This person will be responsible for establishing and maintaining development and testing environments and creating and maintaining configurations for all supporting software deployments. The Senior DevOps Engineer will lead the automation and streamlining of our code integration and deployment operations and processes.

Our tech stack includes:

• Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure)
• Container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
• GitHub
• Terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) -.NET 8

We value maintainability, performance, and thoughtful design that improves developer velocity and customer experience alike.

We are on the bleeding edge of technology and intend to stay there! We’re really open to new tooling that can help us make better experiences for our customers.

This is more than a chance to write great code. It’s your opportunity to build and maintain the reliability of a global platform that helps companies lead with purpose—while working with a team that empowers you to deliver with autonomy, confidence, and impact.
