DevOps Engineer

Pursuit is on a mission to transform how public-sector contracts are sought and awarded, leveraging AI technology to improve the efficiency of sales to the government. The DevOps Engineer will own and evolve Pursuit's infrastructure, ensuring compliance and enabling AI-powered development workflows to enhance the engineering team's productivity.

Responsibilities:

• 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:

• Deep experience with AWS services, particularly ECS, Fargate, S3, and related infrastructure
• Infrastructure-as-code is second nature. You maintain, extend, and improve Terraform configurations without breaking existing systems
• You're excited about AI-powered development workflows
• You understand security controls, audit requirements, and how to build systems that are secure by default
• You've worked with large-scale data systems — vector databases, document storage, or similar
• You'll be the dedicated DevOps person working directly with the CTO
• Comfortable with ambiguity, moving fast, and prioritizing ruthlessly
