About The Role

PS Consulters is staffing a DevOps and continuous-improvement service for an Ontario public sector organization. The engagement is structured as a managed service rather than a one-off project: the mandate covers keeping the delivery toolchain, environments, and releases healthy day to day, while carrying a standing backlog of improvements to automation, observability, and platform reliability. This shape of work suits an engineer who takes ownership of a platform over time and measures success in fewer incidents, faster releases, and less manual toil each quarter.

The successful candidate will operate with substantial autonomy inside a small delivery team, interacting directly with client technical staff. Reliability and communication carry as much weight as technical depth: in a managed-service arrangement, the monthly service review is where the work is judged. The engagement is contracted hourly through PS Consulters at competitive market rates; applicants state rate expectations.

Delivery is remote with rare on-site needs. Work is delivered in English and within the client's security and change-management policies. This is an anticipated contract role tied to an active public sector procurement.

Start dates depend on award and onboarding timelines. Qualified applicants are contacted as soon as the engagement is confirmed, and solid profiles are kept on file and matched against similar upcoming roles with consent. Applications are reviewed by a practitioner, not a keyword filter; short, specific cover notes describing directly relevant work are read and valued.





PS Consulters welcomes applications from all qualified candidates, including members of visible minority communities, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, and newcomers to Canada with eligible work status. Accommodation during the recruitment process is available on request.
