Team8; United States; On-site; USD 140,000 - 220,000; Full time

Job summary

Team8 is building a security-focused infrastructure layer and seeks a Senior DevOps Engineer to own the cloud production environment end-to-end, from architecture decisions to operating the stack.

You’ll design and implement AWS/Kubernetes production environments, CI/CD pipelines, and an IaC foundation using Terraform and Helm, pushing for SOC 2 readiness and strong security controls.

Join a small, early-stage startup where you’ll shape standards and partner with founders on technology decisions.

Qualifications

• 5–7 years hands-on DevOps/Infrastructure in cloud-native production environments.
• Deep experience with AWS (or GCP/Azure) and architectural decision-making.
• Strong production Kubernetes experience at scale, including failure modes.

Responsibilities

• Own cloud infrastructure end to end — design, build, and operate production AWS/Kubernetes environments from the ground up.
• Build CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows for a fast, small team.
• Define the IaC foundation (Terraform, Helm) and DevOps/SRE standards, tooling, and practices.
• Build security into the infrastructure by default — secrets management, hardened workloads, least-privilege access, SOC 2 groundwork.
• Drive observability, reliability, and performance across a modern microservices stack and define what “healthy” means.
• Partner with engineering and founders on architecture and technology decisions.
