Founding DevOps Engineer
About the Role
As the founding DevOps engineer at a seed-stage AI productivity startup, you'll build and own the operational platform that enables a small engineering team to ship frequently and reliably. You'll help protect a product that handles users' communications, schedules, and sensitive information while setting the infrastructure and operational standards for future growth.
What You'll Do
Own cloud infrastructure, networking, databases, and compute, using infrastructure as code to make environments easy to create and remove.
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines with fast builds, gated tests, preview environments, feature flags, and rapid rollbacks.
Design and operate observability systems for logs, metrics, traces, and alerts.
Establish on-call rotations, runbooks, and incident response processes, and lead postmortems that prevent recurring issues.
Implement security controls for secrets, access, dependencies, audit logs, and privacy commitments.
Monitor costs and capacity, plan for growth, and reduce infrastructure waste.
Set operational standards and help build the engineering team.
