Job summary

Worth AI is seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to join the Infrastructure team in a hands-on build role. You will write Terraform, tune Kubernetes workloads, and automate manual tasks to production. You’ll join a small platform team with a clear roadmap and drive adoption of new tooling.

You will design secure, scalable systems, own CI/CD, and improve reliability through incident response and postmortems, while communicating trade-offs to stakeholders.

Qualifications

• 8+ years in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering.
• Proven experience designing and operating production Kubernetes environments at scale.
• Deep hands-on expertise with AWS infrastructure and cloud networking.
• Strong experience building and maintaining Terraform modules across large cloud environments.
• Demonstrated ownership of CI/CD systems and measurable improvement of DORA metrics.
• Experience leading incident response processes and driving meaningful postmortem outcomes.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems, event-driven architectures (Kafka), and database performance (PostgreSQL).
• Proven ability to modernize legacy infrastructure and eliminate manual operational toil.
• Track record of taking a scoped infrastructure project from an ambiguous starting point to production without needing daily direction.
• Demonstrated ability to build trust across teams while raising the reliability bar.

Responsibilities

• Implement scalable Infrastructure-as-Code patterns using Terraform to standardize cloud provisioning and reduce configuration drift.
• Own and evolve our Kubernetes platform (EKS or self-managed), ensuring workloads are secure, scalable, and resilient by default.
• Optimize CI/CD pipelines to improve deployment frequency, reduce lead time, and increase confidence in releases.
• Design and enforce secure networking, IAM, and secrets management strategies across environments.
• Improve observability by refining metrics, logs, and tracing using DataDog, ensuring actionable insight into system health.
• Optimize cloud cost efficiency through rightsizing, autoscaling strategies, and architectural improvements.
• Implement disaster recovery planning, backup strategies, and multi-region resilience initiatives.
• Refactor brittle or manually managed infrastructure into automated, testable, and reproducible systems.
• Introduce new infrastructure tooling or architectural shifts and drive adoption through documentation, workshops, and hands-on support.
• Partner with engineering teams to eliminate friction in CI/CD, deployments, and cloud environments.
• Communicate technical trade-offs clearly across engineering and product stakeholders, balancing speed with safety.
