About The Position

We’re looking for a mid-level DevOps Engineer to own, consolidate, and evolve the infrastructure behind Pathify. You’ll report to the Deputy CTO and work closely with engineering leadership and our Chief Engineers to keep our cloud environment reliable, scalable, and secure. As the bridge between our application developers and our support team, you’ll also be responsible for supporting incident management, driving our SRE efforts, and leading our Start-of-Semester efforts. This is a hands-on role with significant autonomy - we’re looking for someone to define and deliver the strategy, not just execute it.

• Python for tooling and automation
• Experience with observability stacks (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, etc.)

• Production experience at enterprise scale - supporting hundreds of thousands of WAU
• US-based, able to work core hours overlapping with Mountain Time

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling
