Founding DevOps Engineer
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.
