Job description

HappyCo is a company where people can grow their careers and work with like minded people, with no egos or politics. HappyCo is values driven and offers a flexible, supportive culture. Join HappyCo and Make Work Happy!

At HappyCo, we build technology that empowers property managers, owners, and teams to deliver better experiences for their residents and customers. As an AI-powered company, we’re constantly innovating, and our infrastructure is the backbone that makes it all possible.

As a DevOps Engineer, you’ll play a vital role in shaping and scaling the systems that keep our products reliable, secure, and performant. Our DevOps team works hand‑in‑hand with developers, equipping them with the tools, automation, and guidance they need to follow best practices and ship with confidence. A key focus for us is improving the developer experience – making it easier and faster for our engineers to deliver great products. You’ll be part of a collaborative engineering culture where your ideas matter, and where automation, observability, and security are at the core of how we work.

You’ll partner across the organization to design and maintain world‑class infrastructure, build robust deployment pipelines, and enable teams to deliver value faster. This is a hands‑on role where your expertise in infrastructure, CI/CD, and cloud‑native tooling will have a direct and visible impact on our ability to serve customers. If you love tackling complex infrastructure challenges, automating everything you can, and building systems that scale gracefully, you’ll thrive here.

What to Expect in Your First Months

• First 30 days: Learn our infrastructure, CI/CD workflows, and deployment processes. Actively contribute to smaller tasks while you gain familiarity with GCP, GKE, and ArgoCD environments.
• 60 days: Begin owning small improvements in Terraform, Spacelift, and GitLab pipelines. Troubleshoot issues in staging environments and contribute to deployment reliability.
• 90 days: Take ownership of significant pieces of infrastructure or CI/CD workflows. Proactively suggest and implement improvements to scalability, security, and observability across systems.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or Infrastructure Engineering.
• Strong background with Terraform and infrastructure‑as‑code practices.
• Experience with CI/CD systems (we use GitLab CI/CD and Spacelift).
• Experience with Bazel for build processes.
• Hands‑on experience with ArgoCD for GitOps‑based deployments.
• Solid understanding of GCP, GKE, container orchestration, and Linux systems.
• Strong troubleshooting skills and ability to diagnose issues across infrastructure and application layers.
• Passionate about improving our developer experience with better tools and automation.
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
• Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, distributed environment spanning multiple time zones (US and AUS), requiring effective asynchronous communication.

Nice to Have

• Experience designing and maintaining observability stacks to monitor distributed systems.
• Hands‑on experience with tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Honeycomb, and Sentry.
• Familiarity with security best practices, particularly in SOC 2‑compliant environments.
• Knowledge of secrets management, identity/access control, and audit logging.
• Exposure to security tooling such as vulnerability scanners, runtime security platforms, or compliance automation.
• Experience with PostgreSQL administration and performance tuning in production environments.
• Familiarity with backend development in GoLang or Ruby.
• Experience building self‑service tooling for developers.
• Exposure to multi‑cloud or hybrid cloud environments.
