Full job description

ABOUT THE ROLE As the founding DevOps engineer at an early-stage AI assistant company, you will build and own the operational platform behind a fast-moving product. Your work will help the team deploy frequently while keeping production systems secure, reliable, and resilient. WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Own cloud infrastructure, networking, databases, and compute, managing environments through infrastructure as code.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines with fast builds, gated tests, preview environments, feature flags, and rapid rollbacks.
  • Design and operate logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting systems that help identify issues early.
  • Establish on-call rotations, runbooks, incident response practices, and postmortems that reduce repeat incidents.
  • Implement security controls for secrets, access, dependencies, audit logs, and privacy requirements.
  • Monitor infrastructure costs and capacity, plan for growth, and improve efficiency.
  • Set platform standards and help grow the engineering team. 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 building CI/CD and deployment tooling for frequent, reliable releases.
  • Experience with observability, incident response, security practices, and compliance work such as SOC 2.
  • Ability to write TypeScript or Python and understand the application code you deploy.
  • Comfort with AI-assisted development workflows, and the judgment to verify and take ownership of shipped work.
  • A hands-on, founding-team mindset and interest in setting platform standards. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Salary range: $200,000 to $300,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is not available. LOCATION On-site in San Francisco, California.
