Senior DevOps Engineer

What You’ll Do

• Architect and scale our AWS infrastructure, including container orchestration, autoscaling, networking, and cost optimization
• Build our observability and alerting platform from the ground up. You'll own it from design through production deployment
• Lead infrastructure builds for compliance (SOC 2, HIPAA). We need someone who scopes, builds, and ships, not just advises
• Harden container workloads and secrets management across production, staging, and isolated compliance environments
• Own the shared infrastructure stack (Postgres, Redis, Celery). Find bottlenecks, fix them, and add capacity before they become incidents
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, optimizing for deploy speed, reliability, and security
• Extend our Terraform codebase to keep environments reproducible and audit-ready. We ship IaC changes weekly, not quarterly
• Define and own our reliability practices: SLOs, incident response, post-mortems, and the production tooling to back them up
• Unblock engineering teams by reducing deploy friction, improving dev environments, and eliminating toil
• Share on-call with a small team. When things break, you lead the response, run the post-mortem, and make sure the fix ships

Who You Are

• 5+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineering roles
• Deep expertise with AWS, including hands-on production experience operating and scaling Kubernetes clusters
• Strong understanding of container orchestration, networking, and security in cloud-native environments
• Solid Infrastructure as Code experience (Terraform strongly preferred)
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines with modern tooling
• Experience with monitoring and observability platforms. We're actively building out this area and want someone who's done it before
• You've owned projects end-to-end. Scoped the work, built it, shipped it, and operated it. Not just picked up tickets
• You write clear decision documents (ADRs, RFCs) and can explain infrastructure tradeoffs to both engineers and leadership
• You've built infrastructure from scratch at a fast-moving company, not just inherited mature platforms
• You thrive in startups. You ship daily, adapt when priorities shift, and don't wait to be told what to own

Preferred skills

• Hands-on compliance work (SOC 2 or HIPAA) in a regulated industry like fintech, healthcare, or government
• Experience with event-driven autoscaling and async task processing systems (e.g., Celery, SQS, KEDA)
• Experience with isolated or partitioned cloud environments for regulated workloads
• Python scripting for automation and tooling
• Experience with relational database administration, tuning, and scaling in production
• Background in cost optimization and FinOps practices
• Experience with secrets management and Kubernetes package management
