Job description

Overview

DevOps Engineer (Founding Team)

Location: San Francisco Bay Area

Type: Full-Time

Compensation: Competitive salary + meaningful equity (founding tier)

Backed by 8VC, we're building a world-class team to tackle one of the industry’s most critical infrastructure problems.

About the Role

We're building an AI-native, multi-tenant enterprise platform for complex domains in industrial verticals. In this architecture, DevOps isn't just about shipping features — it's about operationalizing intelligent agents , ensuring traceability across AI systems , and supporting mission-critical ML infrastructure at scale.

We're looking for a DevOps engineer who can own infrastructure from Day 1 — automating everything from CI/CD and observability to cloud governance and security. You’ll work with a highly technical team building real-time AI pipelines and multi-agent systems. If you want to be the person who makes the platform run — fast, secure, reliable, and explainable — this is your role.

Responsibilities

Build and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure across AWS/GCP/Azure with a focus on secure, tenant-isolated deployments

Own and evolve CI/CD systems (e.g. GitHub Actions, ArgoCD) with progressive rollout, testing, and rollback flows

Establish observability tooling across services, agents, and pipelines (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry)

Implement policy-as-code (OPA, Rego) for deployment safety, RBAC, audit logging, and approval workflows

Define and enforce SLAs, uptime targets (99.99%+), incident response, and remediation workflows

Secure infrastructure: IAM, VPC, encryption, key management, image scanning, secrets rotation

Automate deployments, infrastructure provisioning (Terraform, Helm), and environment replication

What We’re Looking For

Core Experience:

4–10+ years in DevOps, platform engineering, or SRE in production-grade systems

Strong experience with Docker, Kubernetes (EKS/GKE), Terraform or Pulumi

Hands-on experience deploying and monitoring distributed cloud-native systems

Familiar with GitOps practices, CI/CD design, progressive delivery, and secure SDLC

Clear understanding of how to implement monitoring, alerting, and failure simulation in dynamic environments

Engineering Mindset:

Obsessed with reliability, latency, uptime, and repeatability

Security-aware and compliance-conscious

Proactive — you don’t wait for alerts to fix things

Comfortable collaborating with backend, AI, and data teams

Bonus: Agent-Native / ML Ops Capabilities

We’re building an agentic, AI-native platform from the ground up. Experience here isn’t required, but would be a strong differentiator:

Experience running LLM orchestration frameworks (e.g. LangChain, LangGraph, Dust, ReAct agents)

Building retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines — and deploying them safely and repeatably

Familiarity with vector DBs (Weaviate, Qdrant, Pinecone) and embedding pipelines

Monitoring and governing long-running or multi-agent chains

Auditability and replay systems for agent decision-making

Serving fine-tuned or open-source LLMs with model versioning and GPU scaling (e.g. vLLM, TGI)

Interest in auto-remediation using agents (e.g. observability + alert → insight → response via LLM)

Why This Role Matters

DevOps is the nervous system of the platform — every agent, every data fabric component, every pipeline flows through what you build. This is a rare opportunity to design that system early, the right way, and future-proof it for scale, compliance, and trust.

If you're excited by intelligent systems, distributed data, and deeply technical infrastructure problems — and you want your work to have immediate real-world impact — we’d love to hear from you.
