You'll collaborate closely with a technical founder and the CEO to architect smart, scalable systems that work for a lean team-think GitOps, Helm, Terragrunt, EKS, and modern CI/CD best practices.

• Proven experience bootstrapping infrastructure for early-stage products.

• Pragmatic, with a startup mindset: low overhead, high impact.

• Able to clearly communicate trade-offs and decisions.

• Experience working with a start-up or small-ish company
  
  

Why Join This Project

• Shape DevOps practices from the ground up.

• High trust and autonomy-direct access to decision-makers.

• Strategic input valued, not just implementation.

• Potential for long-term collaboration.

• Remote-friendly (core team based in London).
