Senior DevOps Engineer, Data Platform
Nexla, briefly
Nexla is the data layer for enterprise AI. We give AI apps and agents the connectivity, context, and governance to work across more than 1,000 enterprise systems in real time, and we process over a trillion records a month doing it. DoorDash, LinkedIn, Johnson & Johnson, Instacart, and LiveRamp run mission-critical data on us. Honorable Mention in the Gartner Magic Quadrant™ for Data Integration Tools, and top-rated by customers on Gartner Peer Insights four years running. Founded 2016, remote-first, headquartered in San Mateo.
Our values are short and we actually use them: Have Empathy. Be Curious. Be Intellectually Honest. Achieve Excellence. Remember to Relax.
Role, briefly
Our data plane moves hundreds of billions of rows a day across hundreds of thousands of Kafka topics, with Spark, Flink, Ray, and Redis running on EKS and GKE. You would own its reliability as an engineering problem rather than an operations one: the SLOs that define what working means, the instrumentation that proves it, and the software you write to remove the manual work in between. This is not a cloud-provisioning or CI/CD role. It is Senior level, so your influence is expected to reach past the systems you personally touch.
