We are looking for an experienced DevOps Engineer with a strong focus on production performance, reliability, security, and automation. This person will play a critical role in maintaining and improving our production environments while helping engineering teams build and operate scalable, secure, and high-performing systems.

The ideal candidate has 4–10 years of DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering, or Cloud Infrastructure experience, strong hands-on Kubernetes expertise, experience with modern monitoring and observability tools, and an interest in using AI-powered tools and automation to improve engineering operations.

We are looking for someone who enjoys solving difficult production problems, takes ownership, and is enthusiastic about making a measurable difference.

What You’ll Do

Production Reliability & Performance

  • Maintain, support, and continuously improve highly available production environments.
  • Monitor application and infrastructure performance and proactively identify bottlenecks, reliability issues, and opportunities for optimization.
  • Troubleshoot complex production issues across infrastructure, applications, Kubernetes, networking, and cloud services.
  • Improve system availability, scalability, resiliency, and overall production performance.
  • Participate in incident response, root cause analysis, and post-incident improvements.
  • Help establish and improve operational standards around system health, performance, and reliability.

Kubernetes & Cloud Infrastructure

  • Build, operate, maintain, and optimize Kubernetes environments running production workloads.
  • Manage containerized applications and services using Kubernetes and Docker.
  • Support scaling, cluster performance, service availability, upgrades, and troubleshooting.
  • Design and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure primarily in AWS and/or GCP.
  • Use Infrastructure as Code technologies such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi to automate infrastructure provisioning and configuration.

Monitoring & Observability

  • Implement and improve monitoring, alerting, logging, tracing, and observability across production systems.
  • Work with a variety of modern monitoring and observability platforms to understand infrastructure and application health.
  • Build dashboards, alerts, and operational metrics that help teams identify issues before they impact customers.
  • Use production data to identify performance trends and drive continuous improvement.
  • Help engineering teams improve visibility into their applications and services.

Security & DevSecOps

  • Build security into infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and production operations.
  • Partner with engineering and security teams on IAM, secrets management, vulnerability remediation, infrastructure hardening, and secure configuration.
  • Identify infrastructure and production security risks and help drive remediation.
  • Apply DevSecOps practices throughout the software development and deployment lifecycle.
  • Balance security requirements with system performance, reliability, and developer productivity.

AI, Automation & Developer Productivity

  • Leverage AI-powered engineering and operations tools to improve troubleshooting, monitoring, automation, and operational efficiency.
  • Evaluate opportunities to use AI to identify anomalies, analyze logs, accelerate incident investigation, and automate repetitive operational tasks.
  • Automate manual infrastructure and production processes wherever practical.
  • Improve internal tooling and developer workflows.
  • Help create self-service capabilities that allow engineering teams to operate more efficiently.

CI/CD & Release Engineering

  • Build, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines across multiple environments.
  • Improve deployment reliability, release automation, and rollback capabilities.
  • Partner with software engineers to improve the software delivery lifecycle.
  • Support modern deployment strategies including blue/green and canary deployments.

What We’re Looking For

  • 4–10 years of hands-on DevOps, SRE, Platform Engineering, Cloud Infrastructure, or similar experience.
  • Strong experience with Argo CD is required
  • Strong experience maintaining and troubleshooting production environments.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes and containerized production workloads.
  • Experience working within AWS and/or GCP cloud environments.
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code, preferably Terraform.
  • Strong experience with monitoring, observability, logging, and alerting tools.
  • Experience troubleshooting production performance and reliability issues.
  • Solid understanding of cloud and infrastructure security best practices.
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and modern software deployment practices.
  • Experience using—or a strong interest in using—AI tools within DevOps, SRE, infrastructure, or production operations.
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to take ownership of production issues and work effectively across engineering teams.
  • Enthusiastic, curious, and motivated by opportunities to make a meaningful difference.

Preferred Background

  • Experience working for a product-based SaaS or technology company.
  • Experience supporting internally developed software products or platforms in production.
  • Experience operating Kubernetes at meaningful production scale.
  • Familiarity with monitoring and observability technologies such as Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus, New Relic, Splunk, Elastic, CloudWatch, or similar platforms.
  • Experience with application performance monitoring (APM), distributed tracing, and production performance optimization.
  • Experience incorporating security scanning, vulnerability management, or policy enforcement into CI/CD and infrastructure workflows.
  • Exposure to AI-assisted operations, AIOps, AI coding tools, or AI-driven infrastructure/observability platforms.
