DevOps Engineer

Full-time

Remote

We seek team members who are creative, proactive, and curious. We welcome diversity of thought and cultivate a culture founded on low power distance and radical candor, where advancement comes from respect and merit, not politics. We're fully remote. You'll set your own hours, with a high value placed on uninterrupted, deep work, and we ruthlessly nix any meeting a message could resolve. If your skills and inclinations align, please apply.

About the role

We're looking for a hands-on DevOps engineer to own the infrastructure, platform tooling, and CI/CD pipelines that keep our systems running. You'll work across Linux and Windows, containers, databases, and a self-hosted service stack running on a major cloud provider, automating everything you can and keeping reliability high.

Our products are built with AI at their core and ship fast, so you'll be building infrastructure that supports a high volume of deployments and keeps a fast-moving engineering team unblocked.

What you’ll do

Before diving into the technical responsibilities, here are the traits we value most:

  • Candor: You communicate directly and honestly in service of better outcomes.

  • Conscientiousness: You take ownership, respect teammates, and build things others can rely on.

  • First-principles thinking: You question assumptions and make decisions grounded in evidence.

In this role, you will:

  • Own the infrastructure and platform end to end, provisioning it as code and automating manual work away

  • Build and own CI/CD pipelines, keeping build, test, and deployment fully automated

  • Own monitoring, alerting, and observability so problems surface before customers feel them

  • Keep databases healthy and performant: backups, replication, tuning, and reliable analytical workloads

  • Operate messaging and traffic routing so services communicate reliably and stay available

  • Harden and tune systems for security, performance, and reliability across Linux and Windows

  • Design infrastructure that scales as usage and load grow, keeping cost in check

  • Own on-call for critical systems, diagnosing complex production issues and driving fixes that stop them recurring

  • Partner with the engineering team to raise deployment velocity and reliability

Who you are

You think of infrastructure as a product, not a chore. You understand that speed, reliability, and cost pull against each other, you enjoy reasoning about the trade-offs, and you automate away manual, repetitive work rather than tolerate it.

You're comfortable being on the hook for systems that can't go down. You can diagnose a failure, ship the fix, and then make sure it never happens the same way twice.

You care about the people around you as much as the systems. You'd rather unblock a teammate than keep the interesting problem for yourself.

Required qualifications

  • 5+ years in a DevOps, platform engineering, or SRE role

  • Experience with a major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure)

  • Advanced Linux administration (RHEL/Debian family) and shell scripting, plus scripting in Python or Bash

  • Solid hands-on experience with infrastructure as code using Terraform and Ansible

  • Production experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes, Nomad, or similar); we run Nomad, so hands-on Nomad experience is a plus

  • Experience with service discovery and secrets management (we use Consul and Vault)

  • Strong GitLab CI/CD pipeline development and maintenance

  • Solid PostgreSQL administration (replication, performance tuning), and familiarity with ClickHouse for analytical workloads

  • Experience with load balancing and reverse proxies (HAProxy, Traefik, or Nginx)

  • Strong networking fundamentals (DNS, VPNs, service mesh, zero-trust)

  • Experience administering RabbitMQ: cluster setup, queue management, and monitoring

  • Experience with Docker and container-based deployments

  • Experience with observability tooling for metrics, logging, and tracing (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, or similar)

  • Comfortable with Windows Server administration

  • Strong understanding of the full software development lifecycle, from development through production

Nice-to-have skills

  • Experience with additional caching, messaging, or streaming systems such as Redis or Kafka

  • Go, for building infrastructure tooling, operators, and CLIs

  • SRE reliability practices such as SLOs, error budgets, and incident response

  • Cloud and infrastructure cost optimization (FinOps)

  • Security and compliance experience such as hardening at scale, SOC 2, or ISO 27001

What we offer

  • A high-trust, remote-first culture

  • End-to-end ownership of the infrastructure and platform behind business-critical systems

  • Close collaboration with the engineering team

  • A team that values clear thinking, rigor, and direct communication

  • Room to shape our infrastructure and how we deploy

  • Competitive compensation based on experience and impact
