Member of Technical Staff

Why We’re Hiring This Role: Three of our worst recent incidents - Nov 29 config rollout, Dec 23 duplicate messages, Oct 13 egress proxy - were resolved by rollback. You’ll own progressive delivery (canary, blue/green, automated rollback, soak periods), the GitOps story across multiple clusters and regions, and on-demand environment tooling on the Q3 roadmap. Success is measured by how fast every other team ships safely. What You’ll Do: 30 Day: Get fluent in the Pulumi stacks, the ArgoCD setup, and GitHub Actions pipelines. Sit with engineers from agents and FDE teams to find the top 3 deploy pain points. Land a quality-of-life improvement to the deploy pipeline. 60 Day: Own progressive delivery end-to-end - canary, automated rollback, soak - for at least one critical service path. Ship the first version of cell-creation tooling or preview environments. Make the deploy pipeline measurably faster (lead time, MTTR for failed deploys). 90 Day: Roll out progressive delivery as the default across services. Establish SLAs and a feedback loop with engineering teams. Own the developer‑platform roadmap and partner with Infra and SRE on cell creation, multi‑region rollouts, and on‑call tooling. Who You Are: Must-haves You have a platform-as-a-product mindset - you treat internal engineers as customers, with SLAs, docs, and feedback loops, not tickets and ad‑hoc help. You’ve operated Pulumi (TypeScript) or Terraform at scale (40+ stacks, multi‑region) and you’ve felt the pain when IaC sprawl gets ahead of you. You’ve run ArgoCD or equivalent GitOps for deploying applications across multiple clusters. You’ve built progressive delivery in production - canary, blue/green, automated rollback, soak periods. You can describe a real rollout that automated rollback caught. You’ve designed CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred) for many services and Dockerfiles, not just one repo. You’ve built deploy tooling for on-demand environments - preview envs, dev deployments, or cell creation. Nice-to-haves You’ve written Go for platform services (Vapi’s canary-manager is Go). You’ve operated developer platforms at a mid-stage infra‑heavy company or a DevEx team at a larger shop. Tech stack you’ll work in Languages: TypeScript (primary, for Pulumi and tooling), Go (for canary-manager and platform services), Bash. IaC: Pulumi (TypeScript) at scale (40+ stacks across regions), Terraform. GitOps and deploy: ArgoCD (multi‑cluster), GitHub Actions, 15+ Dockerfiles. Progressive delivery: canary, blue/green, automated rollback, soak periods (canary-manager Go service). Orchestration: Kubernetes on EKS (multi‑cluster, multi‑region). Vapi services you’ll touch: canary-manager, cell‑creation tooling, preview env tooling. Where you likely come from Vercel, Render, Railway, Fly, Temporal, Cockroach (mid‑stage infra‑heavy), or DevEx/Platform teams at Stripe, Shopify, Airbnb, or Block. Weak fit: classic AWS sysadmin, or someone whose CI/CD experience is mostly Jenkins GUI‑level. #J-18808-Ljbffr
