Job summary

Rhombus Power, Inc. seeks a hands‑on DevOps Engineer to own the end‑to‑end deployment lifecycle from development to production and edge environments.

You will build and automate CI/CD, design deployments across cloud and edge locations, and operate containerized apps with Docker and Kubernetes. You will work across cloud providers, IaC tools like Terraform, and CI/CD tooling, travelling roughly 15% CONUS/OCONUS.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional experience in DevOps, Platform Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering, Infrastructure Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Strong technical foundations in Linux, networking, systems, and software development workflows.
• Hands‑on experience building and operating CI/CD pipelines, preferably including taking them from an initial implementation to a reliable production system.
• Practical experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and containerized application deployment.
• Experience with at least one major cloud platform such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code, such as Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi, or equivalent technologies.
• Experience with Git‑based development workflows and platforms such as GitHub or GitLab.
• Proficiency in Python, Bash, or another programming language used to automate infrastructure and operational workflows.
• Experience implementing automated testing, deployment validation, monitoring, and rollback processes.
• A solid understanding of networking, APIs, system configuration, and distributed systems.
• The ability to diagnose problems across application, infrastructure, networking, and deployment layers rather than treating each as an isolated domain.
• Working knowledge of practical software and infrastructure security, including identity and access management, vulnerability management, secrets, and secure configuration.
• Experience deploying software in distributed, on-premises, or edge environments is highly desirable, but not required.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with software engineers, technical leadership, customers, and field teams.
• Curiosity and a strong learning mindset. You don't need to know everything; you need to be willing and able to figure things out.
• A bias toward ownership. You naturally ask, "What needs to happen to make this work?" rather than "What part of this was assigned to me?"
• Comfort operating in a fast‑paced startup environment where requirements change, problems are sometimes ambiguous, and you may need to define the problem, build the solution, deploy it, and own the outcome.
• Willingness and ability to travel, roughly 15% CONUS and OCONUS

Responsibilities

• Own the end‑to‑end deployment lifecycle—from source control, builds, and testing through production and edge deployment, monitoring, upgrades, recovery, and ongoing operations.
• Build and improve CI/CD systems that allow engineering teams to build, test, package, and release software quickly and reliably.
• Design and automate deployments across cloud, on‑premises, and distributed edge environments, including environments with limited connectivity, constrained resources, or other operational challenges.
• Build and maintain infrastructure as code, creating repeatable, version‑controlled environments that can be deployed consistently across cloud and edge locations.
• Deploy and operate containerized applications using Docker, Kubernetes, and related technologies, including configuration, upgrades, troubleshooting, and lifecycle management.
• Create the tooling engineers need to move faster. Identify repetitive or fragile processes and turn them into reliable automation.
• Build operational capabilities for configuration management, application lifecycle management, observability, logging, health monitoring, and fleet management across distributed environments.
• Own reliable release and recovery mechanisms, including deployment validation, rollbacks, upgrades, failure recovery, and disaster recovery.
• Partner closely with software engineers to improve application architecture, deployment patterns, developer workflows, testability, and operational reliability.
• Troubleshoot problems across the full stack. Investigate issues spanning applications, containers, Kubernetes, Linux, networking, infrastructure, and deployment systems—and drive them to resolution.
• Help build secure‑by‑default infrastructure and delivery practices, including appropriate access controls, vulnerability management, secrets management, and secure software delivery, while maintaining engineering velocity.
• Support production systems and deployments, including participation in an on‑call rotation for critical systems as the team and customer footprint grows.
• Help shape the deployment architecture as we scale, evolving our platform from early‑stage product development toward operating software reliably across a growing distributed customer and edge footprint.
• Get close to the real‑world mission. Travel 15–20% CONUS and OCONUS to support deployments, field operations, customer environments, and system integration activities.
