We're building the security infrastructure layer from the ground up, and we're looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to own it end to end. You'll be one of the first infrastructure hires on the core team - designing and building our AWS/Kubernetes production environment from scratch, setting the standards the rest of engineering will build on, and making the architectural calls yourself rather than inheriting someone else's.
What you'll do
Own our cloud infrastructure end to end — design, build, and operate production AWS/Kubernetes environments from the ground up
Build CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows that let a small, fast team ship safely and often
Define the IaC foundation (Terraform, Helm) and the DevOps/SRE standards, tooling, and practices the organization will grow into
Build security into the infrastructure by default — secrets management, hardened workloads, least-privilege access, and the groundwork for SOC 2 and customer security reviews
Drive observability, reliability, and performance across a modern microservices stack — you define what "healthy" means and how we'll know
Partner directly with engineering and the founders on architecture and technology decisions
Requirements
What we're looking for
5-7 years of hands-on DevOps/Infrastructure experience in cloud-native production environments
Deep experience with AWS (or GCP/Azure) — you've made the architecture decisions, not just executed them
Strong production Kubernetes experience at scale, including the failure modes
Expert-level IaC — Terraform, Helm — with a track record of building a standardized, maintainable foundation
Strong CI/CD and automation background; you treat infrastructure as a product
Proven experience building infrastructure from scratch, ideally in an early-stage startup — comfortable with ambiguity and with owning decisions without an existing playbook
Security-minded by instinct: secrets, identity, network segmentation, supply-chain hygiene, and compliance readiness are things you've actually implemented
Nice to have
Experience in a cybersecurity company or working closely with security teams
Experience achieving SOC 2 / ISO 27001 readiness
MLOps — infrastructure for ML workloads, GPU environments, and model deployment pipelines
Multi-tenant SaaS and cloud cost optimization (FinOps)
