Role Description We are seeking a DevOps/SRE Team Lead with proven, hands-on Kubernetes expertise to drive the reliability and scalability of our video processing infrastructure and oversee a small team of SREs and DevOps Engineers. This is a deeply technical lead role, requiring real-world experience administering production Kubernetes clusters—not theoretical familiarity. You will own CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure automation, and cloud platform operations in a fully remote environment where independent execution is essential. You will spend 70-80% of your day being hands-on in the following areas: - Design, deploy, and administer production Kubernetes clusters, including workload scheduling, namespace management, RBAC, network policies, and cluster upgrades. - Design and maintain continuous integration/deployment pipelines to automate testing and deployment, including Kubernetes-native delivery workflows using Helm and ArgoCD or equivalent. - Track software performance, fixing errors, troubleshooting systems, implement preventative measures to ensure smooth workflows. - Implement and manage infrastructure. - Utilize Terraform or CloudFormation for IaC management. - Optimize cloud resources by implementing cost-effective solutions. - Collaborate with various teams to ensure smooth deployment. - Monitor and create new processes based on performance analysis. - Implement security best practices, including automated compliance checks and secure code deployment. You will spend 20-30% of your time managing the following areas: - Manage the technical roadmap, architecture while mentoring SRE and DevOps Engineers (Player/Coach). - Hire, coach, and manage a team of DevOps engineers and Site Reliability Engineers. - Strong communication, conflict resolution, and the ability to influence without authority. - Define DevOps/Platform roadmap aligned with business goals (e.g., cloud cost optimization, automation maturity). - Excellent communication and collaboration skills. Qualifications - Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering or equivalent. - 5-8+ years of experience in DevOps/SRE, with 2-3+ years in a leadership role. - Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or equivalent) with direct integration into Kubernetes deployment workflows. - Production-level experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform required; CloudFormation or Pulumi a plus), including managing cloud-hosted Kubernetes clusters (EKS, GKE, or AKS). - Experience with monitoring, logging, and observability tooling in Kubernetes environments (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK/EFK stack, or equivalent); ability to build dashboards and alerts from scratch, not just consume existing ones. - Demonstrated, hands-on Kubernetes experience in production environments: cluster administration, Helm chart authoring and management, RBAC configuration, persistent storage, horizontal/vertical pod autoscaling, and diagnosing and resolving real production failures (CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, networking issues, etc.). - Strong troubleshooting skills with the ability to diagnose infrastructure and application issues live, under pressure, without reference materials—this is evaluated directly in our interview process. - Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Go, Bash, or PowerShell); ability to write and own automation scripts, not just modify existing ones. Benefits - Day-one medical, dental & vision coverage. - 100% company-paid life + disability insurance. - 401(k) with a sweet company match (up to 8%). - Quarterly HSA boosts & flexible spending accounts. - Flexible time off (salaried) or PTO (hourly) + generous paid holidays. - Pet insurance (yes, your dog gets benefits too). - Legal plan + extras like accident & critical illness coverage.

• Ensure the stability, availability, and performance of production environments, focusing on automation and reducing manual interventions (toil); • Work across the service lifecycle, from design and deployment to monitoring and continuous improvement; • Implement and evolve infrastructure as code (IaC) and CI/CD pipelines; • Manage and optimize critical services, including Kubernetes/ECS clusters and database layers; • Develop and maintain observability strategies (logs, metrics, and APM) to support root cause analysis and troubleshooting; • Ensure security routines, backup policies, disaster recovery, and cloud cost management; • Collaborate with development teams to improve software architecture and delivery processes; • Document technical procedures and promote infrastructure and reliability best practices across engineering; • Proactively participate in continuous improvement analyses and the architecture of highly available systems.

• Lead the evolution of the software delivery lifecycle by embedding security into every stage of the CI/CD pipeline • Architect and maintain automated CI/CD pipelines that utilize AI/ML models for static and dynamic analysis (SAST/DAST) to identify complex vulnerabilities that traditional rule-based tools miss • Design security frameworks for the end-to-end AI lifecycle, including securing data ingestion, protecting model weights, and implementing 'Guardrail' architectures for Large Language Models (LLMs) • Develop AI-driven orchestration (SOAR) to automate the triage and remediation of security findings, reducing manual overhead for engineering teams • Implement enterprise-wide governance using tools like Open Policy Agent (OPA) to enforce security compliance automatically across multi-cloud environments • Conduct advanced threat modeling for cloud-native applications, specifically accounting for AI-specific attack vectors like model inversion or data poisoning • Create self-service security tools and 'Golden Paths' that allow developers to deploy securely without friction, fostering a proactive security culture • Achieve 90% automated security coverage across all production-bound code • Utilize AI to reduce vulnerability remediation time by 40% within the first year

Role Description As a Junior DevOps Engineer on our team, you’ll use your experience to streamline our software development life cycle from requirements to monitoring in production. You’ll incorporate open-source tools, automation, and cloud resources to cut down on tedious, boring tasks and free up the teams to do what they do best – innovate. You’ll implement continuous integration and delivery to limit manual testing and troubleshooting. This is an opportunity to broaden your skillset into areas like automation, cloud-based development, and open-source tools. This role may require team members to provide after-hours support for deployments. These are pre-scheduled, but may not occur at a standard cadence. Position is 100% remote - Monday - Friday 8AM EST to 4:30PM EST. Qualifications - For the DevOps Engineer, Junior three (3) years of experience is required. - For the System Engineer, Junior one (1) year of experience is required. - Experience with Linux systems engineering efforts in system design and evaluation, solution engineering, software development, or system administration. - Experience as an administrator for one of the following container platforms: Docker, OpenShift, Kubernetes, and/or EKS. - Experience with advanced scripting languages, including how to write infrastructure as code and the development of custom scripts to automate capabilities including the use of Ansible, Python, Bash, and Terraform. - Experience with a complex build system. - Knowledge of Agile methodologies or the software development life cycle (SDLC). Requirements - Experience with developing back-end software applications. - Experience with leveraging Cloud service providers, including AWS and Azure, to create automated DevSecOps pipelines. - Experience with configuring an Opensearch cluster and managing index lifecycle. - Knowledge of security scanning tools, configuring their use and working with teams to fix vulnerabilities. - Knowledge of Java.
