the posting

Forge is building the world’s first AI-native DevOps workspace, a unified environment that learns from every deployment, automates runbooks, and gives engineers superpowers. We're looking for clear communicators with a breadth of DevOps skills that take pride and ownership in their work. If you crave variety, love green-field challenges, and want to shape the future of AI-powered infrastructure, you’ll thrive here.

This job is fully remote.

Qualifications

As a Forward Deployed DevOps Engineer, you’ll embed directly with companies, shipping infrastructure that keeps them moving fast without sacrificing reliability, best practices, or security.

What you’ll do

Own green-field & brown-field infra. Design, build, and operate CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration, IaC, monitoring, and incident response.

Lead “day-zero” engagements. In your first week on a new account, run a lightweight discovery, draft a 30–60–90-day infra plan, and drive exec buy-in.

Ship fixes, not tickets. You’ll hold the pager, debug outages, and push code that prevents the next one.

Level-up teams. Pair-program, run brownbags, and write concise runbooks so founders can stay focused on product.

Feedback-loop back home. Capture patterns from the field to improve our internal tooling and playbooks.

You likely have

4+ years building and operating production cloud infrastructure.

Proven success juggling multiple projects or consulting engagements.

Deep experience with at least one major cloud plus Kubernetes.

Hands-on Terraform (or Pulumi/CDK) and modern CI/CD (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, GitLab, Buildkite).

Observability chops: Prometheus/Grafana, Datadog, OpenTelemetry, etc.

Strong fundamentals in networking, Linux, containers, and security.

(Titles and exact years matter less than demonstrated skill and learning speed.)

Nice-to-haves

Prior “forward-deployed” or consulting experience.

Experience hardening SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA environments.

Serverless, data-platform, or multi-cloud routing expertise.

Go or Python for bespoke tooling (we use both).
