About The Position

Industrious is at a once in a lifetime inflection point, transitioning from being a late stage growth startup to an independent business unit of the world’s largest real estate company. This next phase is all about figuring out how to make the most of the platform we’re now a part of, including nurturing our #SoIndustrious team, bringing our expertise in workplace experience to millions of people around the world, building new products, and doing it all with sustainable economics. At Industrious, we aren’t just building workspaces; we’re building the engine that powers the future of work. We believe that infrastructure shouldn't be a bottleneck—it should be an accelerant. We are looking for a Tech Lead, DevOps Engineer who views "infrastructure as code" as an art form and thrives on the challenge of making complex systems feel invisible to the developers using them. As the Tech Lead, you will be the primary architect of our deployment ecosystem. You won’t just be "fixing servers"; you will be designing the foundation that enables vibe coding company-wide—an environment where ideas move from an employee's brain to production with zero friction and maximum confidence. This role is based in one of the following hub locations: Chicago, Austin, New York City

Requirements

7+ years of DevOps experience, with at least 2 years spent leading teams or major technical initiatives.
Mastery of at least one programming language (Python is great, but we’re particularly excited if you speak TypeScript on Node.js).
Deep experience with Terraform and Terragrunt.
Strong working knowledge of distributed systems and event-driven architectures, including hands-on experience with technologies like Kafka, RabbitMQ, or comparable message brokers.
Proven track record of maintaining sophisticated CI/CD pipelines.
A "knack" for collaboration. You can translate complex infra-speak into actionable insights for product and dev teams.
An insatiable desire for self-improvement and are constantly looking for ways to make your solutions—and yourself—better.

Nice To Haves

Experience with GCP.
GitHub Actions experience is a plus.
Experience with AI integration.
