Senior DevOps Engineer

Who We Are 

At Bluehost, we believe all small businesses deserve the opportunity to succeed online. Our mission is to give small businesses the confidence to think big. We're the all-in-one platform for small businesses to grow online with powerful simplicity, premium performance, smart tools and human support. 

As Bluehost scales from millions toward tens of millions of customers, DevOps is the team that makes sure every other team can ship fast without breaking things. You'll own the pipelines, cloud-native infrastructure, and observability that keep our platform fast, safe, and reliable, modernizing legacy pieces along the way and using AI tooling to move faster than a team our size normally could. 

What You'll Do & How You'll Make Your Mark 

• Design, build, and operate Kubernetes and cloud-native infrastructure across AWS, GCP, Azure, and/or OCI, covering compute, storage, networking, and IAM 

• Own Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, version-controlled in Git and aligned with team-wide best practices across environments 

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and Argo (CD/Workflows), automating build, test, and release for dozens of services 

• Drive release and deployment management practices, including progressive rollouts, rollback strategy, and change management that reduces risk without slowing teams down 

• Configure and harden web servers (Apache/Nginx), virtual hosts, and SSL/TLS across environments 

• Build out observability, metrics, tracing, and log aggregation (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/Loki), with real alerting that catches issues before customers do 

• Use AI across the delivery lifecycle — scripting, infrastructure code, root-cause investigation, and runbooks — and set the guardrails the team works inside: how generated infrastructure code gets reviewed before it touches production, how provenance and licensing are checked, and what customer or secret data may enter a prompt 

• Own networking fundamentals in production: TCP/IP, DNS, firewalls (iptables/nftables), and load balancing across cloud and on-prem environments 

• Carry on-call rotation, lead incident response, and turn postmortems into concrete reliability improvements 

Who You Are & What You'll Need to Succeed 

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering roles 

• Deep, hands-on experience with Kubernetes, containerization (Docker), and cloud-native architecture patterns 

• Strong Infrastructure as Code experience (Terraform) plus configuration management tooling (Ansible or Puppet) 

• Proven experience building and operating CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and Argo, or comparable GitOps tooling (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) 

• Solid networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, firewall rules, and load balancing in cloud and on-prem environments 

• Familiarity with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/Loki) and building alerting that's actually actionable 

• AI-augmented delivery: you use AI across the delivery lifecycle, not just script generation, and can say which models suit which problems and where you don't use them. You review AI-generated infrastructure code and automation knowing its failure modes, and you have set the guardrails others work inside — review expectations for generated code, provenance and licensing checks, and clear boundaries for what customer or secret data enters a prompt and what a security or compliance review will ask for. 

• Strong Bash and Python scripting ability, with public cloud experience across AWS, GCP, Azure, or OCI 

• Working knowledge of Linux security fundamentals: TLS, SSH hardening, patch management, and IAM in cloud environments
