For over 20 years, Smartsheet has helped people and teams achieve–well, anything. From seamless work management to smart, scalable solutions, we’ve always worked with flow. We’re building tools that empower teams to automate the manual, uncover insights, and scale smarter. But more than that, we’re creating space– space to think big, take action, and unlock the kind of work that truly matters. Because when challenge meets purpose, and passion turns into progress, that’s magic at work, and it’s what we show up for everyday.

You Have: • 8+ years of progressive experience in technology, with at least 5 years in a hands-on senior role such as Site Reliability Engineering, or DevOps. • A BS or MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent industry experience. • Expert-level proficiency in at least one major cloud provider, preferably AWS, with deep knowledge of core infrastructure and security services. • Expert-level proficiency with Infrastructure as Code, particularly Terraform. • Expert-level proficiency in a scripting or programming language such as Python, Go, or Ruby, with a proven history of building automation and custom tooling. • Deep experience with containerization and orchestration technologies (Kubernetes), including securing containerized environments. • Proficiency with the modern security operations toolchain, including SIEM, EDR, and vulnerability scanning technologies. • Experience integrating security tools (SAST, DAST, SCA) into arenaflex/CD pipelines. • A critical thinker with a proven ability to troubleshoot complex problems in high-pressure production environments. • Excellent verbal and written communication skills and a collaborative spirit.
