Founding DevOps Engineer

Perfect Venue • San Francisco, CA

1d • Hybrid

About The Position

Private events and catering can significantly increase restaurant and event space revenue, but many venues are stuck using outdated, error-prone manual processes - unlike the sophisticated software employed by large chains. Perfect Venue is leveling the playing field by offering local restaurants and venues an affordable, user-friendly, event management tool to help local them compete with big chains. This is just the start, with plans to expand into a broader marketplace that includes other event services (DJs, florists, etc). We’re hiring our first DevOps engineer to design and own our platform from first principles. This is not a maintenance role. We are migrating to a new cloud environment and rebuilding our infrastructure from the ground up. There is no legacy system to inherit, you’ll define how everything works: infrastructure, deployment, observability, and reliability, If you’ve wanted to build a system the right way , this is that opportunity. You won’t just improve systems, you’ll define them.
