DevOps Engineer

At Worktrace AI, our mission is to eliminate the AI divide. Frontier AI labs are developing AI that can free people to focus on meaningful, high-impact work—yet, most teams don’t know where to start and are being left behind. We’re building AI that helps teams uncover their best automation opportunities and build those automations.

About the role

Worktrace runs data pipelines across three clouds: production on GCP, and private-cloud discovery pipelines in customers' own AWS and Azure accounts. We're a 12-person team with four backend/infra engineers, and this is our first full-time DevOps hire. You'll own how our software gets from a merged PR to running reliably in production and in customer clouds. In-person role, and a one-person ops function to start.

What you'll do

• Own CI/CD: GitHub Actions building and deploying to GCP Cloud Run, AWS ECS Fargate, and Azure Container Apps with OIDC auth. Clean up duplicated workflows and build promotion and rollback we can trust.
• Put our terraform repo under CI: plan-on-PR, policy checks, drift detection, and a clear apply process across three clouds.
• Make customer deployments repeatable: turn per-customer AWS and Azure setup from a manual process into a one-command, monitored operation.
• Build observability and on-call from scratch: alerting and paging across all three clouds, dashboards, and an incident process.
• Own secrets management, IAM/access, vulnerability scanning follow-up, and cloud cost.
• Automate the manual runbooks (some still tell you to run gcloud and psql by hand).

What we're looking for

• 5+ years running production infrastructure, owning CI/CD and releases at a previous company.
• Strong Terraform: modules, remote state, multi-account/multi-project setups.
• Depth in at least one of GCP, AWS, or Azure, and able to work in the other two. We use cloud-native container services — no Kubernetes needed.
• GitHub Actions (or similar) beyond the basics: reusable workflows, OIDC, matrix builds.
• Comfortable scripting in Python or Bash, and enough SQL/Postgres to help during an incident.
• Someone who likes ops work — faster deploys, fewer manual steps, quiet on-call — rather than seeing it as a step toward something else.

Nice to have

• Deploying into customers' own cloud accounts (private-cloud / single-tenant).
• Cloud IAM, vulnerability management, and security questionnaires.
• Cost optimization you can point to.

Logistics

• Full-time, hybrid in-person, senior level.
