Your new company

You’ll be joining a highly respected national organization that is modernizing its technology operations and transforming the way it delivers secure, scalable, and high‑performing IT services. This organization supports a large and diverse membership base across Canada and is committed to innovation, security, automation, and operational excellence. You’ll be part of a collaborative IT team that values leadership, continuous improvement, and strategic technical guidance.

Your new role

As the Senior DevOps / Systems Administrator, you will provide strategic technical leadership across cloud infrastructure, DevOps automation, and system administration. Reporting to the Manager of IT Operations and working under the guidance of the Director of IT & Program Management, you will lead the research, selection, design, deployment, and optimization of modern technological solutions that keep systems secure, performant, and resilient.
You’ll act as the senior escalation point for critical infrastructure incidents, oversee the architecture and automation of AWS environments, manage infrastructure-as-code, optimize CI/CD pipelines, and support major upgrades and deployments. You will collaborate extensively across cybersecurity, software development, SaaS operations, and broader IT teams to ensure end‑to‑end system reliability, operational efficiency, and strong security posture.

What you'll need to succeed

  • University degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field
  • 5–8 years
    of experience in technical leadership roles across cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and systems administration
  • Extensive expertise in AWS environments, including architecture, automation, networking, and security
  • Strong Linux administration skills with proficiency in bash scripting
  • Hands‑on experience managing and optimizing LEMP stacks
  • Deep understanding of cloud architecture, system integration, and automation frameworks
  • Strong background in infrastructure‑as‑code (IaC) and CI/CD pipeline development
  • Proficiency with monitoring, logging, and alerting solutions for operational observability
  • Strong system administration skills across complex, integrated
    SaaS environments
  • Knowledge of ITIL best practices and sound project management principles

What you'll get in return

You’ll step into a high‑impact senior role where your technical leadership directly shapes the stability, security, and evolution of the organization’s cloud and on‑premise environments. You will influence major modernization initiatives, work with experienced IT professionals, contribute to strategic decision‑making, and help define best‑in‑class DevOps and cloud practices. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact while working with modern tools, progressive practices, and a supportive leadership team.
