VOLT LIGHTING
DevOps/Site Reliability Engineer
Position Summary
The Devops/Site Reliability Engineer owns VOLT Lighting's build, test, and deployment pipeline for our eCommerce platform, and the AI-assisted development workflow that runs code review, testing, and release checks through automated agents. The role blends platform and release engineering with hands-on AI (agentic) engineering: designing and operating the CI/CD process, building the automated quality and security gates that code must pass before release, verifying the health of every deployment, and building the agent-based tooling that makes all of it scale.
The position works alongside VOLT's external development partner, running the merge and release gates against their pull requests, and partners with the Systems Administrator to bring VOLT's internally built applications under the same delivery and quality standards. It reports to the Director of IT and partners closely with the Enterprise Solutions Architect, Systems Administrator, QA, and Marketing.
This is a hands-on, senior individual-contributor role for someone who has owned a production deployment pipeline end to end and has engineered agent-based automation, and who is equally comfortable building the system and operating it day to day.
Responsibilities
1. VOLT's software delivery platform
- Design and operate VOLT's CI/CD pipeline for Adobe Commerce on VOLT-owned Bitbucket
- Own the deployment process across integration, staging, and production environments
- Build the automated quality gates that run before code reaches production: static analysis, coding standards, and automated tests
2. Test automation and release confidence
- Own the test frameworks, the build-time gates, coverage enforcement, and the standard for what a release must pass to ship
- Build the cross-cutting regression and end-to-end suites for critical paths (checkout, cart, order placement, tag and conversion firing)
- Own post-deploy release verification: automated regression plus a production read-only smoke, so we catch a bad release before a customer does
- Convert today's manual, maintenance-window regression checklist into automated, repeatable verification
- Set the line between what gets tested automatically and what needs a person, in partnership with QA
3. The agentic development workflow (ADW): AI engineering
- Own and develop VOLT's agent-based development workflow: the agents that run code review, test generation, and release checks
- Engineer the agent orchestration, evaluation harnesses, and guardrails that keep agent output safe to merge and ship
- Build and tune the test-generation agent so coverage grows without hand-writing every case
- Advance the pipeline-integrated phases of the workflow that unlock once the repository is VOLT-owned
4. Security in the delivery process
- Secret scanning and credential handling in the repository and the pipeline
- Enforce that credentials never reach source control
- Own the access and permission model for the repository and the deployment environments
5. Working with partners and the team
- Run merge and release gates against pull requests from our external development partner
- Partner with and shepherd the Systems Administrator, who handles internal application operations (hosting, patching, backup, uptime), bringing those applications under the same delivery and quality standards
- Grow the Systems Administrator into a Systems Engineer who runs day-to-day pipeline operation, so routine releases do not depend on any single person. Documentation and knowledge transfer are a requirement of the role, not an afterthought
- Partner with QA to decide what gets tested automatically and what needs a person
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field, or equivalent experience
- 6+ years in DevOps, Release Engineering, Platform Engineering, or Site Reliability Engineering
- Hands-on AI / agentic engineering: demonstrated experience building agent-based development workflows with tools like Claude Code, not just using them, including the evaluation harnesses and guardrails that keep agent output safe to ship
- Demonstrated ownership of a production deployment pipeline, built and operated with direct accountability for failures
- Experience with a managed cloud application or commerce platform. Adobe Commerce Cloud is ideal, and other managed PaaS experience translates
- Git and modern branching, review, and merge-gate practice, using Bitbucket Pipelines, GitHub Actions, or an equivalent
- Automated testing inside a delivery pipeline: what to gate on, what to warn on, and how to keep a test suite trustworthy
- Strong Linux administration
- Scripting in Bash, Python, or PHP
- Secrets management and secure credential handling in CI
- Clear written communication, with strong documentation habits for the people who come next
Preferred Qualifications
- Magento / Adobe Commerce, including deploy phases, ece-tools, the magento-cloud CLI, and Hyva
- PHP, enough to read and reason about the codebase being gated
- Fastly or a comparable CDN and edge caching layer
- Docker for local development environments
- Google Cloud Platform
- Next.js and PostgreSQL
- NetSuite or comparable ERP integration work
- Experience working alongside an external development agency
