• Proficient with Linux and shell scripting
• Experience with at least one CI/CD system
• Familiar with AWS or another major cloud provider
• Basic scripting in Python, Bash, or Groovy
• AWS/container/datastore monitoring tools knowledge

Responsibilities

• Build, maintain, and troubleshoot CI/CD pipelines in GitLab CI across 10+ services
• Support deployments to AWS (ECS, EC2, RDS) in QA and production
• Monitor system health, respond to alerts, and assist incident triage
• Contribute to Terraform codebase and grow toward IaC ownership
• Help with security hygiene: OS patching and dependency updates
• Write/runbooks and infra docs in Confluence
• Use AI tools to generate/review code and automate toil
• Participate in daily stand-ups and sprint ceremonies

Job description

WorthPoint is the internet's largest resource for researching and valuing antiques, art, and collectibles. Our Worthopedia® price guide gives collectors, dealers, and appraisers access to hundreds of millions of sold prices from auction houses and marketplaces worldwide. Behind that product is a data platform ingesting and enriching millions of items — and the infrastructure that keeps it fast, reliable, and secure is where you come in.

About the Role

We’re growing our DevOps team and looking for a junior engineer who wants to build a real cloud infrastructure career, not just watch one happen. You’ll work day-to-day on our CI/CD pipelines, deployments, and monitoring under the guidance of our senior DevOps engineers — and you’ll have a deliberate growth path toward owning infrastructure-as-code and AWS platform work as you develop. This is a hands-on role on a small team at a company where infrastructure work is visible and valued. You won’t be ticket #4,000 in a queue; the pipelines you improve ship product the same week.

Responsibilities

• Build, maintain, and troubleshoot CI/CD pipelines in GitLab CI as we complete our migration from Jenkins across 10+ services
• Support deployments to AWS (ECS, EC2, RDS) across QA and production environments
• Monitor system health, respond to alerts, and help with incident triage and root-cause follow-up
• Contribute to our Terraform codebase under review, growing toward independent infrastructure-as-code ownership
• Help with security hygiene: OS patching, AWS Security Hub remediation, dependency updates
• Write and improve runbooks and infrastructure documentation in Confluence
• Use AI tools and agentic assistants as a core part of your daily work — generating and reviewing code, writing tests, automating toil — and help turn one-off fixes into reusable agentic workflows
• Participate in daily stand-ups and sprint ceremonies with our engineering teams

Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, cloud engineering, or a software engineering role with infrastructure exposure
• Working knowledge of Linux administration and shell scripting
• Familiarity with at least one CI/CD system (GitLab CI, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar)
• Exposure to AWS or another major cloud provider
• Basic scripting ability in Python, Bash, or Groovy
• Comfort with Git and standard development workflows
• AI-native engineering habits: you can explain how you use AI throughout the engineering lifecycle — generating and reviewing code, writing tests, automating work — including how you provide context to agentic assistants, decompose work into smaller tasks, verify outputs, and build reusable workflows rather than one-off prompts
• Curiosity, follow-through, and the willingness to say "I don’t know, but I’ll find out"

Preferred Skills

• Agentic automation experience: you’ve built or implemented agents that perform multi-step operational tasks — not just generate text or code. For example: CI/CD automation, configuration drift detection and notification, cluster maintenance/triage/self-healing, cloud cost analysis, or automated PR creation, testing, and review. Candidates who can demo something like this go to the top of the pile.
• Terraform or other infrastructure-as-code experience
• Docker and container orchestration (ECS, Kubernetes)
• Experience with PostgreSQL, OpenSearch/Elasticsearch, or other data stores
• Monitoring and observability tooling (CloudWatch, Grafana, or similar)
• AWS certification (Cloud Practitioner, Solutions Architect Associate, or SysOps)
