We are seeking a proactive DevOps Engineer to join our DevOps team. This is not a traditional "ops" role focused s solely on keeping the lights on. We are looking for a specialist who will take ownership of improving how we operate, with a specific focus on making our systems observable, cost-efficient, and secure. You will sit at the intersection of software engineering and infrastructure. Your primary mission will be to evolve our observability and proactive insights regarding app performance and security compliance. Simultaneously, you will be the champion for cloud cost optimization (FinOps) and ensure our CI/CD pipelines are fast, secure vehicles for delivering value to production

  • Implement and maintain observability tools and dashboards using [e.g., AWS CloudWatch, Datadog, Sentry, OpenTelemetry].
  • Go beyond basic CPU/memory metrics; instrument applications for high-value Application Performance Monitoring (APM) traces, custom business metrics, and real-user monitoring (RUM).
  • Enhance security monitoring in our observability stack. Implement automated alerts for anomalous behavior, access pattern violations, and potential security threats.
  • Implement logging and retention configurations to meet defined data retention policies and relevant standards (e.g., GDPR, CCPA, SOC2) and ensure PII is appropriately redacted or handled.
  • Assist with cloud cost visibility and optimization.
  • Analyze infrastructure usage patterns to identify waste, implement aggressive tagging strategies, and recommend rightsizing adjustments to reduce spend.
  • Manage Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, and Spot Instance usage to maximize value.
  • Manage and enhance our CI/CD pipelines (using [e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins]). Your goal is to optimize for speed, reliability, and ease of use for developers
  • Integrate security scanning (SAST/DAST/container scanning) and compliance checks directly into the CI pipeline.
  • Manage the tooling and processes for deploying applications to AWS EKS / Kubernetes / ECS / Serverless
  • Facilitate modern deployment strategies, such as Blue/Green deployments, Canary releases, and feature-flag rollouts, to minimize blast radius during releases.
  • Maintain and evolve our Infrastructure as Code (IaC) base using [Terraform / OpenTofu / CloudFormation / Pulumi].
  • Experience: 3+ years of hands-on experience in a DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering role supporting production environments.
  • Cloud Fluency: Strong proficiency with a major cloud provider (AWS preferred, Azure or GCP acceptable)
  • Observability Expertise: Proven experience configuring and managing a modern observability stack (logs, metrics, and distributed tracing). You know the difference between a useful alert and noise.
  • Infrastructure as Code: Solid experience with Terraform (or equivalent IaC tools) in a collaborative team environment (state management, modules, PR reviews).
  • Containers & Orchestration: Strong working knowledge of Docker and container orchestration (Kubernetes experience is highly valued).
  • CI/CD: Solid understanding of CI/CD principles and experience building pipelines.
  • Scripting: Comfort with scripting languages for automation (Ruby, Bash, Python, or Go).
  • Experience implementing specific regulatory compliance frameworks (e.g., PCI-DSS, HIPAA) in a cloud environment.
  • Experience with "Policy as Code" tools like Open Policy Agent (OPA).
  • A background in software development before moving into ops.
  • Relevant cloud certifications (e.g., AWS Certified DevOps Engineer or Solutions Architect).
  • AI-Assisted Development: Hands-on experience using AI tools like Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT to enhance productivity and code quality
  • Time Off: Unlimited PTO because we trust you to manage your time and recharge when you need it. We encourage our team to truly disconnect and come back refreshed.
  • Comprehensive Benefits: Our generous benefits package includes medical and dental coverage, competitive 401(k) matching to help you plan for the future, plus gym subsidies to support your health and wellness goals.
  • Balanced Growth: We offer intellectually challenging work on meaningful problems while respecting your work/life balance. We believe the best work happens when people have time for life outside of work.
