Job Description
Flow by ServiceNow is a standalone conversational AI service desk, with its own product and its own codebase. Employees ask for help wherever they already work — Slack, Microsoft Teams, email, or the browser. Flow answers from connected knowledge, handles the request, and runs automations the team publishes. AI is how the product works, and a person stays in control when the action is sensitive.
Flow is a new company inside ServiceNow, reimagining every function from first principles. We hire builders with agency and curiosity who use AI as the default way to design, review, and operate. They challenge inherited ways of working and treat their work as craft.
Flow runs on infrastructure this team owns end to end. You’ll own the AWS platform, the delivery pipeline that puts code on it, the durable-execution plane that runs customer automations in isolation, and the operational surface of an AI runtime — including what it costs and whether it is getting better.
What you get to do in this role
- Own the AWS platform Flow runs on — containerized services, managed PostgreSQL, and an isolated execution plane for customer workloads — all defined as infrastructure as code.
- Own delivery end to end: the CI verification pipeline, release promotion, and gated rollouts with migrations, smoke verification and automatic rollback.
- Operate the production database: schema migrations, capacity planning, replication, backups and recovery.
- Write and test infrastructure, delivery and operational code in TypeScript, held to the same review and testing bar as product code.
- Own the security gates in the delivery pipeline and the least-privilege access that deploys run under.
- Operate the AI runtime: model routing and failover, credential management, cost attribution, and the eval pipelines that gate changes.
- Carry on-call with the rest of the team, and shape the SLOs and error budgets that come with scale.
- Contribute to the design and implementation of new products and features while also enhancing the existing product suite.
- Be a mentor for colleagues and help promote knowledge-sharing.
Qualifications
We don’t expect anyone to match every line below. If most of it describes you, we’d like to hear from you.
- Experience in leveraging or critically thinking about how to integrate AI into work processes, decision-making, or problem-solving. This may include using AI-powered tools, automating workflows, analyzing AI-driven insights, or exploring AI’s potential impact on the function or industry.
- Current, hands-on fluency with AI-assisted and agentic development. We expect you to work this way.
- Experience leveraging AI/ML in engineering and quality processes (e.g., automated testing, AI-driven insights, intelligent monitoring).
- 12+ years of experience in DevOps, platform or infrastructure engineering, with a track record of delivering high-quality products.
- Deep AWS experience, operating production platforms at scale.
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript.
- Infrastructure as code in a general-purpose language — AWS CDK, Pulumi or similar.
- Experience running containerized services in production.
- Experience with software development lifecycle (SDLC) and automation — implementing automation, testing strategies, and CI/CD practices across delivery stages using GitHub for version control and GitHub Actions for automated build, test, and deployment workflows.
- Experience with PostgreSQL database management.
- Experience with AI/ML microservice integration.
- Experience operating inside an enterprise cloud-governance regime — service control policies, mandated naming and tagging, restricted IAM, region allowlists — and delivering within them.
Why join us
Flow is early enough that the platform’s patterns are still being set, and one engineer’s decisions carry. You’ll mature the delivery, reliability and cost practices a fast-growing AI product needs, inside a real enterprise governance regime — with ServiceNow’s customers, scrutiny and scale behind you.
For positions in this location, we offer a base pay of $148,900 - $260,600, plus equity (when applicable), variable/incentive compensation and benefits. Sales positions generally offer a competitive On Target Earnings (OTE) incentive compensation structure. Please note that the base pay shown is a guideline, and individual total compensation will vary based on factors such as qualifications, skill level, competencies, and work location. We also offer health plans, including flexible spending accounts, a 401(k) Plan with company match, ESPP, matching donations, a flexible time away plan and family leave programs.
Compensation is based on the geographic location in which the role is located and is subject to change based on work location.

Tips for Your Remote Staff Devops Engineer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote staff devops engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place. Search by role and apply directly to the listings that match your stack and seniority level before competitive postings close.
Show async collaboration in your materials
Remote employers at the staff level screen hard for written communication. Include links to architecture decision records, runbooks, or internal documentation you have authored, and mention tools like Notion, Confluence, or Slack in context, not as a list.
Build a public infrastructure portfolio
Push real Terraform modules, Helm charts, or pipeline configurations to a public repository. Remote hiring managers reviewing staff candidates want evidence of how you structure and document infrastructure decisions, not just a list of tools on a resume.
Prepare for distributed-team interview formats
Remote staff devops engineer interviews often include async technical assessments and multi-round video calls with engineers across time zones. Practice narrating your infrastructure reasoning out loud and expect questions about how you handle incident response and on-call coordination without co-location.
Remote Staff Devops Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote staff devops engineer job?
Remote employers hiring at the staff level look for engineers who can drive infrastructure decisions independently, document their reasoning clearly, and coordinate across distributed teams without relying on in-person oversight. Strong candidates demonstrate deep experience with CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code tooling like Terraform or Pulumi, and cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure. Written communication skills and a history of async collaboration give applicants a real edge over candidates with equivalent technical skills but no remote experience.
Which companies hire remote staff devops engineers?
Employers currently hiring remote staff devops engineers include ServiceNow, Ad Hoc, and VYNE, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first SaaS companies, cloud infrastructure firms, and distributed fintech and healthtech teams make up the bulk of these openings, since their engineering organizations are built to operate across time zones.
Can you get a remote staff devops engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level devops roles are harder to land because employers expect new hires to troubleshoot and make decisions independently from day one. Candidates with limited professional experience can strengthen their case by contributing to open-source infrastructure projects, building a public portfolio of Terraform modules or pipeline configurations, and earning cloud certifications. Remote-first startups and smaller distributed teams are more willing to take a chance on candidates who can show concrete, self-directed technical work.
Do you need a degree for remote staff devops engineer jobs?
Not always. Remote employers hiring staff devops engineers consistently weigh demonstrated infrastructure skills, production experience, and results over formal credentials. Candidates who can show they have owned complex CI/CD environments, managed cloud cost optimization, or led incident response on distributed systems tend to move through hiring regardless of whether they hold a degree. Relevant certifications and a strong technical portfolio carry real weight in remote screening processes.
Which industries hire the most remote staff devops engineers?
Most remote staff devops engineer openings sit in Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors hire staff devops engineers remotely because their products and infrastructure live entirely in the cloud, making geographic location irrelevant to day-to-day engineering work.
