About The Position

Merciv is building the intelligence layer for enterprise commerce. We connect an organization's entire data landscape — internal systems, social signals, industry reports, consumer behavior — and surface the insights and automated workflows that used to take analysts weeks. We raised $14M in seed funding, spent two years in stealth building the right thing, and we're now launching publicly. Our platform already drives 8-figure gross margin improvements for some of the world's largest retailers. We're a lean, high-ownership team. If you want to see your work matter immediately, this is it.

Requirements

• 4–7+ years of industry experience with at least 4 years in hands-on DevOps/infrastructure roles
• 4+ years managing cloud infrastructure in production — AWS strongly preferred
• 2+ years of production Kubernetes experience (EKS preferred)
• Deeply proficient in Terraform/Terragrunt and Infrastructure-as-Code principles
• Strong scripting skills in Python and Bash — you automate everything you can
• Experience with CI/CD platforms (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar)
• Security-first mindset with experience implementing compliance frameworks

Nice To Haves

• Former technical founders are encouraged to apply — we care more about what you've built than how long you've been building

Responsibilities

• Architect and build secure, scalable cloud infrastructure using IaC (Terraform/Terragrunt) on AWS
• Design and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines; convert manual processes into automated, repeatable workflows
• Own production reliability — set up observability stacks, define SLI/SLOs, and lead incident response
• Implement and champion GitOps workflows for all infrastructure deployments
• Build compliance-ready infrastructure (SOC 2, GDPR) with IAM best practices and secrets management
• Optimize cloud costs while maintaining performance and reliability at scale
• Create developer tooling and documentation that accelerates engineering workflows across the team
• Mentor team members on DevOps best practices and guide infrastructure strategy
