Principal DevOps Engineer, Continuous Delivery

About the Role
Principal DevOps Engineer: Continuous Delivery & Deployment Automation
As a Principal DevOps Engineer on NinjaOne's DevOps Engineering team, you will be a key technical leader responsible for evolving how software is deployed and released at scale. You will own the design, architecture, and continuous improvement of NinjaOne's Continuous Delivery and deployment automation capabilities ensuring that code moves from commit to production quickly, safely, predictably, and with minimal manual intervention.
This role has a strong emphasis on Continuous Delivery, deployment automation, progressive delivery, release orchestration, feature flagging, and automated rollback. You will help establish the technical patterns and platforms that enable engineering teams to deploy frequently while maintaining strong production safety and operational controls.
This is a highly hands-on role. You will design and implement deployment systems, build automation, solve complex release engineering problems, and provide technical leadership across Engineering, QA, Security, SRE, and Architecture.
You will also work with cloud infrastructure and Infrastructure as Code as part of the deployment lifecycle. Strong cloud and IaC knowledge is important, but the primary focus of this role is how software gets safely and reliably deployed to production.
NinjaOne operates at a significant scale, supporting millions of endpoints through a cloud-based platform. This role provides an opportunity to influence the next generation of our software delivery and release engineering capabilities.
We're a fast-paced, rapidly growing company, and this role is ideal for someone who thrives on owning the "last mile" of software delivery — turning builds into safe, automated, repeatable production deployments and helping evolve NinjaOne toward a modern, deploy-at-will model.
Location - We are flexible on remote working from home, if you are located in the USA and reside in one of the following states - CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, *IL, KS, MA, MD, ME, NJ, NC, NY, OH, OR, TN, TX, VA, and WA. We have physical offices in Austin, TX and Tampa, FL, if you prefer a hybrid option.
*Onsite interviews may be required for this role.
We hire the best software engineers, but experience in our stack can’t hurt: NinjaOne is built on Java, Kotlin, C++, Golang and Postgres
