Job summary

Worth AI, Inc. seeks a Senior DevOps Engineer to join the Infrastructure team and push our systems toward greater speed, reliability, and resilience while easing engineers' software delivery. The role is hands-on, focusing on Terraform, Kubernetes, automation, and production changes.

You will join a small platform team with an established roadmap and a strong voice in how work is built, including security, observability, and cost optimization. Travel to Orlando as needed.

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 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.
