Description
Join our team
We are seeking an innovative and experienced DevOps leader to join our team to lead DevOps engineering for the SmartHome+ platform at TELUS. The SmartHome+ platform is a first-of-its-kind, global, device-agnostic, smart home platform which enables cutting-edge services like home automation, energy management, home health monitoring, home security, and aging in place. At TELUS, we are growing fast, leveraging the power of first and third-party smart device ecosystems to turn every home into a user-friendly smart home with simple low-touch setup and ubiquitous control from a single interface augmented with AI.
