About the Role

As the founding DevOps engineer at a personal AI software company, you'll build and own the operational platform that supports reliable, secure, frequent product releases. You'll work closely with a small engineering team and help establish the infrastructure and practices it will grow on.

What You'll Do

  • Own cloud infrastructure, networking, databases, and compute, managing environments through infrastructure as code.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines, gated tests, preview environments, feature flags, and rapid rollback tooling.
  • Design and operate logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting systems that help identify issues early.
  • Establish on-call rotations, runbooks, and incident response practices, and lead postmortems that drive improvements.
  • Implement security controls including secrets management, least-privilege access, vulnerability scanning, and audit logging.
  • Track service costs and capacity, plan for traffic growth, and reduce infrastructure waste.
  • Set platform standards and help hire and onboard future infrastructure engineers while staying hands-on.

What We're Looking For

  • At least 4 years of experience in DevOps, SRE, platform, or infrastructure engineering, including production on-call work.
  • Hands-on experience with a major cloud platform, infrastructure as code such as Terraform or Pulumi, containers, and orchestration.
  • A track record of building CI/CD and deployment tooling that supports frequent, reliable releases.
  • Experience with observability, incident response, postmortems, cloud accounts, networking, databases, and compute.
  • Strong security fundamentals, including IAM, network boundaries, secrets management, and compliance work such as SOC 2.
  • Ability to write TypeScript or Python and read application code, with experience verifying and owning code developed using AI-assisted tools.
  • Experience leading a growing engineering team while remaining technically involved, and hiring or onboarding infrastructure engineers.
