DevOps Engineer/SAAS

A fast-moving SaaS company at the heart of customer engagement is looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to help shape the infrastructure that powers millions of real-time interactions every day. This is a rare opportunity to join a high-growth team backed by top-tier investors and trusted by household brands—while working on meaningful technical challenges at scale.

You’ll be embedded in a lean DevOps team building out everything from Kubernetes-native deployments to observability pipelines, CI/CD automation, and security-hardening. If you’ve ever wanted to own core infrastructure, bring cloud-native best practices to life, and leave a mark on a fast-scaling product, this is your stage. You’ll work cross-functionally, contribute architectural decisions, and help drive reliability, speed, and cost-efficiency across the platform.

This role is perfect for senior engineers who like solving tough problems, working autonomously, and mentoring others—without the red tape.

Required Skills & Experience

• 10+ years in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering, ideally within high-growth SaaS environments (recent Senior responsibility with AWS services)
• Deep, hands-on experience operating and scaling Kubernetes clusters in production environments, including responsibility for multi-cluster architecture, control plane customization, or leading the migration of legacy workloads into Kubernetes at scale
• Proficiency in Terraform, GitOps workflows (ArgoCD), and CI/CD pipelines using GitLab
  
  

Desired Skills & Experience

• Experience with Linkerd, Cloudflare, or advanced DNS/load balancing techniques
• Familiarity with compliance and audit frameworks such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001
  
  

Daily Responsibilities

• Hands-On Engineering: 70%
• Team Collaboration & Cross-Functional Work: 30%
