An early-stage, high-growth company in the contract automation space is seeking a Senior DevOps Engineer to lead and scale their infrastructure operations. The company leverages large language models (LLMs) to streamline complex contract negotiation workflows for enterprise clients.

• Manage a large number of isolated customer deployments (containers, databases, VPCs, etc.), ensuring robust orchestration.
• Develop and maintain observability tools (metrics, logs, health checks) with real-time dashboards and automated alerts.
• Lead incident response for infrastructure-related issues and participate in an on-call rotation.
• Optimize CI/CD pipelines to dramatically reduce deployment times.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to build LLM-powered monitoring and diagnostic tools, including autonomous agents for issue detection and response.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

• Deep expertise in orchestration and Infrastructure as Code (Pulumi experience is a plus, but alternatives are welcome).
• Proven track record of balancing rapid execution with adherence to best practices.
• Experience with cloud platforms such as Azure and/or GCP.
• Solid understanding of Linux systems, containerization, SQL databases, and distributed cloud environments.
• Passion for AI/LLM technologies and interest in developing infrastructure to support AI-driven products.

Compensation:

• Base salary range: $170K – $260K USD , depending on experience and qualifications.

Additional Information:
