We’re hiring a Founding DevOps Engineer to help us build and scale secure, reliable, and cost-efficient infrastructure for a fast-moving startup.

This is a hands-on role for someone who is deeply technical, highly pragmatic, and able to move with urgency. You should be comfortable owning infrastructure end to end, writing code, improving developer velocity, and supporting enterprise-grade requirements without overengineering.

You’ll be working across cloud environments, CI/CD, observability, reliability, security, and performance. We want someone who can make smart tradeoffs, automate aggressively, and keep systems fast, stable, and economical as we grow.

You’ll have real ownership over the systems that power the company. This is a role for someone who wants to move fast, solve hard infrastructure problems, and build durable systems that support both product velocity and enterprise scale.
