We’re looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our team and work directly with startup engineering teams, CTOs, and account teams.

The role is focused on solving real production problems, from debugging incidents and stabilizing systems to designing and implementing scalable infrastructure. This is not a purely internal or support role, it’s about taking ownership and making systems work under real conditions.
