Senior DevOps Engineer

About the Role

This is a high-ownership infrastructure role at a fast-growing AI-native B2B SaaS company serving enterprise retail brands. You'll architect, build, and maintain the cloud systems that power a platform handling critical consumer intelligence workloads — working closely with backend and ML engineers to keep things secure, scalable, and highly reliable.

What You'll Do

  • Architect and build secure, scalable cloud infrastructure using infrastructure as code (Terraform/Terragrunt) on AWS.

  • Design and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines, converting manual processes into automated, repeatable workflows.

  • Own production reliability — set up observability stacks, define SLI/SLOs, and lead incident response.

  • Implement and champion GitOps workflows for all infrastructure deployments.

  • Build compliance-ready infrastructure (SOC 2, GDPR) with IAM best practices and secrets management.

  • Optimize cloud costs while maintaining performance and reliability at scale.

  • Create developer tooling and documentation that accelerates engineering workflows across the team.

  • Mentor team members on DevOps best practices and help guide broader infrastructure strategy.

What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years of end-to-end infrastructure ownership in production environments.

  • Hands-on infrastructure work within the last 2 years (not purely architectural).

  • Strong expertise with Kubernetes, with EKS experience preferred.

  • Proven track record building and managing AWS infrastructure for B2B SaaS products.

  • Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines in production.

  • Deep hands-on expertise with Terraform and Terragrunt.

  • Broad DevOps scope — infrastructure, deployment, monitoring, and compliance — not just CI/CD.

  • Background at VC-backed startups or mid-sized technology companies.

  • Currently based in the greater New York City area.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary: $160,000 – $200,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

Location

On-site in New York, NY.
