Why This Role Stands Out

• Greenfield Infrastructure: Architect from first principles — no legacy systems, no tech debt
• ️ Real AI Applications: Support real-time agentic workloads and machine learning systems
• Small, Senior Team: Operate with autonomy and ownership among peers with deep domain experience
• Mission-Led: Build tools that directly help organizations mitigate today’s biggest cybersecurity risks
• Remote by Design: Collaborate across borders in a nimble, high-trust team
• Series A funded start-up: runway for success

We’re building a new class of AI-powered tools to transform how companies defend against cyber threats – and we’re looking for a highly capable Infra/DevOps Engineer to establish the core infrastructure powering that mission.

You’ll take ownership of our platform’s foundational systems, helping us scale securely and efficiently as we grow. This is a rare opportunity to architect the infrastructure from the ground up and shape the operating model of an AI-native cybersecurity platform.

What You’ll Do

• Architect and Code the Infrastructure: Design and implement secure, scalable, and highly available systems using infrastructure-as-code principles.
• Develop Automation Systems: Write production-grade code for CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, and infrastructure tooling to accelerate shipping.
• Ensure Security and Compliance: Proactively build in best practices around IAM, encryption, firewalls, and auditing to secure the platform.
• Monitor and Optimize: Set up and maintain observability tools (logging, alerting, metrics) to detect and resolve performance bottlenecks.
• Implement Scalability Solutions: Create programmatic scaling and load balancing strategies to support user and usage growth.
• Collaborate with Engineering: Work hand-in-hand with backend and AI engineers to ensure a seamless, resilient infrastructure interface.
• Establish Coding Standards: Champion best practices in infrastructure development and review, helping raise the technical bar across the team.

What We’re Looking For

• Deep experience in infrastructure, DevOps, or platform engineering roles
• Deep expertise with cloud platforms (AWS preferred, GCP/Azure also welcome)
• Strong automation skills: Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar tools
• Proficiency with CI/CD systems and deployment automation (e.g., GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Jenkins)
• Experience implementing secure systems at scale, including IAM and network security controls
• Familiarity with monitoring and observability stacks like Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK
• Strong problem-solving skills with a bias toward resilience and scalability
• Excellent communication and collaboration across engineering teams
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-autonomy startup environment
