DevOps Engineer

Evlo AI; San Diego (CA); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Evlo AI in San Diego, CA is seeking a DevOps Engineer to design, deploy, and operate scalable cloud infrastructure. You will manage AWS resources, Kubernetes workloads, CI/CD pipelines, and observability platforms to ensure reliable production services.

You will collaborate with software and security teams, implement IaC with Terraform, and drive incident response and disaster recovery testing while promoting strong reliability practices and automated workflows.

Qualifications

• 3–8 years of experience in DevOps, site reliability engineering, platform engineering, or related infra role.
• Hands-on experience operating production workloads in AWS with networking, IAM, compute, storage, databases, and security controls.
• Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform) and version-controlled workflows.
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes, including workload scheduling, ingress, autoscaling, and troubleshooting.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD design, Git-based workflows, automated testing, release strategies, and deployment rollback patterns.
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, information systems, or equivalent practical experience.
• Bonus: Go, Argo CD, Helm, service mesh, OpenTelemetry, PostgreSQL operations, compliance automation, or multi-region DR.

Responsibilities

• Design and maintain highly available AWS infrastructure using Terraform (VPCs, IAM, ECS/EKS, RDS, S3, CloudFront).
• Build and improve CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins, including automated testing, security scans, progressive delivery, and rollbacks.
• Operate Kubernetes-based workloads, managing deployments, ingress, autoscaling, secrets, and cluster upgrades.
• Implement observability using Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, OpenTelemetry, and centralized logging for faster issue resolution.
• Automate operational workflows with Python, Go, or Bash to reduce manual provisioning, deployments, and incident response.
• Define and track reliability practices including SLI/SLOs, capacity planning, and disaster recovery testing.
• Participate in on-call rotations, lead incident response, document root-cause analyses, and deliver follow-up improvements.

Job description

About The Role

The DevOps Engineer will build and operate the infrastructure, deployment systems, and observability platforms that keep production services reliable at scale. The role spans AWS cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and incident response across distributed systems.

About The Role

The DevOps Engineer will build and operate the infrastructure, deployment systems, and observability platforms that keep production services reliable at scale. The role spans AWS cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, and incident response across distributed systems.

The engineer will partner with software development and security teams to improve release velocity without compromising availability or operational safety. Success means repeatable deployments, clear service ownership, measurable reliability, and infrastructure that scales with product demand.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and maintain highly available AWS infrastructure using Terraform, including VPCs, IAM, ECS or EKS, RDS, S3, and CloudFront
• Build and improve CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins, including automated testing, security scanning, progressive delivery, and rollback procedures
• Operate Kubernetes-based workloads, managing deployments, ingress, autoscaling, secrets, resource limits, and cluster upgrades
• Implement observability using Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, OpenTelemetry, and centralized logging to improve detection and resolution of production issues
• Automate operational workflows with Python, Go, or Bash, reducing manual intervention in provisioning, deployments, incident response, and routine maintenance
• Define and track reliability practices including SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, capacity planning, and disaster recovery testing
• Participate in on-call rotations, lead incident response, document root-cause analyses, and deliver follow-up improvements that prevent recurrence

What We Are Looking For

• 3–8 years of experience in DevOps, site reliability engineering, platform engineering, or a closely related infrastructure role
• Hands-on experience operating production workloads in AWS, with strong knowledge of networking, IAM, compute, storage, databases, and security controls
• Proficiency with Terraform or an equivalent infrastructure-as-code tool and practical experience managing infrastructure through version-controlled workflows
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes, including workload scheduling, service discovery, ingress, autoscaling, and troubleshooting
• Strong understanding of CI/CD design, Git-based development workflows, automated testing, release strategies, and deployment rollback patterns
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, information systems, or equivalent practical experience
• Bonus: Experience with Go, Argo CD, Helm, service mesh technologies, OpenTelemetry, PostgreSQL operations, compliance automation, or multi-region disaster recovery
