Principal Engineer - Devops & Cloud

We’re MiQ, a global programmatic media partner for marketers and agencies. Our people are at the heart of everything we do, so you will be too. No matter the role or the location, we’re all united in the vision to lead the programmatic industry and make it better.

As the Principal Engineer for DevOps & Cloud, you will own the technical vision, architecture, and evolution of MiQ’s cloud infrastructure, CI/CD delivery systems, observability stack, and DevSecOps practices. This role carries significant leadership expectations: setting technical direction across teams, driving platform-as-a-product thinking, mentoring engineers, and representing the platform perspective in architectural forums and leadership discussions. You will be a force multiplier — your success is measured not just by what you deliver, but by how much better you make the teams and systems around you.

Key stakeholders include the Engineering leadership, Product Leads, Security Engineering, and Leads across Engineering, Data Science and Analytics.

What you’ll bring

10–14 years of experience in devops, infrastructure, or platform engineering with deep expertise in cloud-native architectures.

Deep, hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred) — networking, compute, storage, identity and access management, and security services.

Production experience operating and scaling container orchestration platforms(kubernetes).

Strong track record with Infrastructure-as-Code — module authoring, state management, and CI-driven provisioning workflows.

Experience designing and operating CI/CD platforms at scale for large engineering organisations.

Understanding of DevSecOps principles: shift-left security, policy-as-code, automated compliance, and secure-by-default infrastructure.

Experience building observability platforms — metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting.
