DevOps Engineer - Cloud & Edge Infrastructure
About The Position
We are a fast-moving, lean engineering team building complex instrument software that bridges physical lab hardware with the cloud. We are looking for a proactive DevOps Engineer to take ownership of our infrastructure. You won't be starting from scratch, nor will you be left alone. You will be taking the reins from our outgoing Senior Architect (who will remain available in an advisory capacity) and will work closely with our core development team to modernize our CI/CD pipelines, secure our GCP environments, and prepare our infrastructure for SOC2 compliance. If you are a hungry mid-level US engineer looking for the autonomy to own a hybrid edge-to-cloud stack, or an experienced nearshore engineer looking for a direct integration with a US-based hardware/software team, this is your launchpad.
Requirements
- Experience: 2–5 years of hands-on experience in DevOps, Cloud Operations, or highly technical Systems Engineering.
- Cloud Native: You have a solid working knowledge of Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and managing containerized applications in Kubernetes.
- Linux Proficient: You are deeply comfortable navigating, scripting (Bash/Python), and troubleshooting in Linux environments.
- PST Aligned: You are available and highly responsive during core Pacific Standard Time (PST) working hours.
- Growth Mindset: You may not know every tool perfectly on day one, but you are a rapid learner who is proactive about finding bottlenecks and proposing solutions rather than waiting for tickets.
Nice To Haves
- Experience working with IoT devices or hardware-to-cloud integrations.
- Previous exposure to SOC2 or ISO compliance audits.
- Experience collaborating with on-site IT and hardware teams.
- Google Cloud DevOps certification (https://cloud.google.com/learn/certification/cloud-devops-engineer/)
- Familiarity with automation or config management tools like ansible, salt or similar is a plus.
Responsibilities
- Cloud Infrastructure: Manage, monitor, and scale our cloud environment using Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) across GCP and GKE (Kubernetes).
- CI/CD & Developer Velocity: Maintain and optimize our Jenkins build and deployment pipelines to help our developers ship code faster and more reliably. Build and maintain Docker images and manage containerized applications.
- Security & Compliance: Lead the hardening of our clusters, manage secrets, and implement the technical controls necessary for our upcoming SOC2/ISO 27001 audits.
- Database & Messaging Operations: Ensure the stability, backup automation, and scaling of our MySQL databases, BigQuery datasets, and message brokers (RabbitMQ, Cloud PubSub).
- High-Availability Support: Act as the primary point of contact for infrastructure stability, ensuring continuous operational overlap during core PST working hours.
- Release Management: Handle deployment and version control of multiple systems and releases within our blue-green environment
- Note that job duties and responsibilities may evolve based on company needs and technological advancements.
