About the Role

As the founding DevOps Engineer at an early-stage personal AI company, you will build the operational platform that enables a small engineering team to ship frequently and keep a trusted product reliable. You will establish the infrastructure, security, and incident response practices that support the product as it grows.

What You'll Do

Own cloud infrastructure, networking, databases, and compute, defining environments as code so engineers can provision and remove them reliably.

Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines with fast builds, gated tests, preview environments, feature flags, and rapid rollbacks.

Design and operate logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting systems that surface issues early.

Establish on-call rotations, runbooks, and incident response practices, and lead postmortems that reduce repeat issues.

Implement security controls, including secrets management, least-privilege access, dependency scanning, audit logs, and infrastructure supporting privacy commitments.

Monitor infrastructure costs and capacity, plan for growth, and reduce waste.

Set platform standards and help hire engineers as the team grows.

What We're Looking For

At least 4 years of DevOps, SRE, platform, or infrastructure engineering experience, including production on-call responsibilities.

Hands-on experience with a major cloud platform, infrastructure as code such as Terraform or Pulumi, containers, and orchestration.

A track record of building CI/CD pipelines and deployment tooling that support frequent, reliable releases.

Experience with observability, incident response, postmortems, cloud infrastructure ownership, and security practices such as IAM and vulnerability scanning.

Ability to write TypeScript or Python and work with application code in production systems.

Familiarity with AI-assisted development workflows, with the judgment to verify and take ownership of shipped code.

A hands-on, founding-team mindset, with experience in cost monitoring, capacity planning, and helping teams adopt infrastructure practices.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary: $200,000 to $300,000 annually. Visa sponsorship is not available.

Location

Full-time, on-site in San Francisco, California.
