A fast-scaling IoT company backed by top-tier investors is hiring a hands-on DevOps leader to take ownership of platform reliability, AWS optimization, and infrastructure strategy as they scale from hundreds to thousands of deployments across the US.

You’ll be joining a high-caliber founding team (ex-CTOs, engineers, and operators from top start-ups) and working directly with the CTO to reshape a critical business function from the ground up.

This role is ideal for someone who’s run lean, high-impact DevOps teams at growing start-ups, and is excited to architect the future while solving real engineering challenges today.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Own uptime, scalability, and cost optimization across the AWS stack
• Right-size and lead a lean, focused DevOps/SecOps team (3–5 engineers)
• Build out observability, alerting, CI/CD pipelines, and automation tooling
• Drive PenTesting, SOC 2 compliance, and infrastructure-as-code best practices
• Work across the org to remove engineering blockers and scale systems for the next stage of growth

Who You Are:

• 8–10+ years in DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering roles
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS, Terraform, and modern DevOps tooling
• Proven success leading small, high-performing technical teams
• Comfortable digging into infra issues, optimizing costs, and improving deployment velocity
• Strategic thinker with a bias for action, and confident collaborating with C-level leaders

Why Apply?

• Full ownership of infrastructure at a high-growth company
• Work directly with a highly respected CTO and tight-knit senior team
• Deep technical challenges in a product-first, engineering-led culture
• Real equity upside and a say in how the company scales
• Remote-friendly setup with flexibility and autonomy baked in
