Responsibilities

• Pair on CI/CD pipelines that run lint, unit, and integration tests before deploys
• Automate environment bootstrap scripts (config, secrets, and service dependencies)
• Create or improve runbooks and checklists for releases and rollbacks
• Track pipeline and deploy metrics to spot regressions with mentors
• Shadow incidents to learn postmortem hygiene and document follow-ups

• Understands how CI/CD stages chain together and why tests gate releases
• Some exposure to containers or a public cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP) basics
• Clear written communication and willingness to ask for reviews early
• Based in New York City or remote.

Nice to have

• Docker basics (building images, reading Dockerfiles, running locally)
• Familiarity with YAML configs and secret management patterns
• Intro knowledge of observability tools (logs, dashboards, alerts)
• Curiosity about infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi)
