DevOps Engineer

Role Overview

• Build AI-Powered Development Infrastructure
• Build infrastructure that enables Claude Code and other AI agents to spin up isolated, ephemeral environments on demand
• Create secure sandboxing for AI-driven development — agents can safely execute code, run tests, and provision resources without human intervention
• Enable parallel execution of AI agent workflows across multiple environments with automated provisioning and teardown
• Implement cost management and resource controls for AI-initiated infrastructure
• Integrate AI workflows with existing CI/CD pipelines on ECS and Fargate
• Lead Infrastructure & Reliability Projects
• Maintain and evolve our fully Terraformed AWS infrastructure — ECS, Fargate, and supporting services
• Manage vector search database infrastructure at scale, ensuring high availability and performance for our core product
• Operate and optimize S3-based document storage containing millions of documents and terabytes of government contract data
• Ensure infrastructure reliability, monitoring, and incident response
• Manage Vercel deployments and frontend infrastructure
• Own Security & Compliance Initiatives
• Maintain SOC 2 Type II compliance — we're already certified, and you'll own the ongoing processes and controls
• Implement and enforce security best practices across all infrastructure
• Ensure secure access controls and audit logging
• Manage secrets, credentials, and security configurations
• Champion CI/CD & Developer Experience
• Own and improve CI/CD pipelines — reduce build times, improve reliability, and enable faster deployments
• Build and maintain integration testing infrastructure
• Enable engineers to self-serve infrastructure needs without bottlenecks
• Document infrastructure and create runbooks for common operations

Requirements

• AWS Native Experiences: Deep experience with AWS services, particularly ECS, Fargate, S3, and related infrastructure. You've operated production systems at scale.
• Terraform Fluency: Infrastructure-as-code is second nature. You maintain, extend, and improve Terraform configurations without breaking existing systems.
• AI-Forward Thinking: You're excited about AI-powered development workflows. You see the potential for AI agents to transform how engineering teams operate and want to build the infrastructure that makes it possible.
• Security-Minded: SOC 2 compliance isn't a checkbox — it's a mindset. You understand security controls, audit requirements, and how to build systems that are secure by default.
• Data Infrastructure Experiences: You've worked with large-scale data systems — vector databases, document storage, or similar. You understand the challenges of operating infrastructure that handles terabytes of data.
• Autonomous Operator mindset: You'll be the dedicated DevOps person working directly with the CTO. You thrive with ownership and don't need hand-holding to drive results.
• Startup Resiliency: Comfortable with ambiguity, moving fast, and prioritizing ruthlessly. You build what matters now while keeping an eye on what scales.
