Job description
We're looking for a senior DevOps engineer to be our sole infrastructure owner — the person who keeps our platform running, scales our delivery pipeline, and responds when things go wrong in production. This isn't a role where you hand off tickets to a platform team. You'll own the infrastructure end-to-end, work closely with engineers on deployment and reliability, and be the on-call anchor for critical incidents. You're someone who combines deep technical expertise with a collaborative, process-minded approach — you keep the team in the loop, follow change control procedures, and understand that good infrastructure work is as much about communication as it is about execution.
What you'll do
Own and evolve our cloud infrastructure on AWS (+ some Azure) — architecture, provisioning, cost, and security
Manage and improve our Kubernetes clusters and containerized workloads (Docker)
Build, maintain, and optimize CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions
Drive infrastructure-as-code practices — everything in version control, nothing snowflaked
Maintain and improve observability: logging (Grafana + Loki), error tracking (Sentry), alerting, and dashboards
Serve as the primary on-call engineer for critical production incidents
Partner with the engineering team on deployment strategy, environment management, and reliability improvements
Identify gaps proactively and bring well-reasoned recommendations to the team before acting
What we're looking for
5+ years of DevOps or infrastructure engineering experience
Deep hands-on expertise with AWS
Strong Kubernetes experience: cluster management, networking, resource configuration, troubleshooting
Docker proficiency — building images, optimizing layers, managing registries
Solid GitHub Actions experience
Infrastructure-as-code fluency
Comfortable to be the sole DevOps presence on a team
On-call ready: you can respond to a production incident at off-hours if needed, stay calm under pressure, and lead the resolution
Process-minded: you respect change control, loop in the right people before making impactful changes, and document your work as a matter of habit
Clear, concise communicator — you can explain an outage, a trade-off, or a migration plan to the technical VP of Engineering
Startup experience — you know how to prioritize ruthlessly and deliver with limited resources
Comfortable using AI coding assistants (e.g. Claude Code, Copilot) to accelerate infrastructure work
Nice to have
Experience with HIPAA and/or SOC2 compliance
Familiarity with Grafana, Loki, or Sentry in production
Background supporting Java microservices deployments
Experience with database operations — RDS, backups, failover, migrations
Scripting proficiency in Python or Bash for automation
How we work
You'll be the only DevOps engineer — high autonomy, high ownership, direct impact on the platform
We follow change control procedures for production — changes are coordinated, communicated, and documented as a team practice
Code review is a first-class practice here — every PR gets a thorough review, and we expect engineers to engage seriously with feedback and explain their reasoning
Remote-first, async-friendly — team spans the Americas
Linear for project management, GitHub for version control
Small team = high ownership, direct impact, no bureaucracy
