Senior DevOps Engineer

About the Role

This is a high-ownership, hands-on Senior DevOps Engineer position at a fast-growing, AI-native B2B SaaS company in the consumer intelligence space — think competitors to Meltwater, NielsenIQ, and Qualtrics. You'll own the cloud infrastructure that enterprise-scale customers rely on for critical data and decision-making. Working closely with backend and ML engineers, you'll be the person who makes GitOps, infrastructure as code, and true production reliability a reality for the entire engineering organization.

The team is small (under 50 people) and technically ambitious, with engineers from backgrounds including Microsoft, IBM, and other high-caliber technology organizations. You'll have a direct, outsized impact on how the platform is built and scaled.

What You'll Do

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

• Design and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines; convert 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 guide infrastructure strategy

What We're Looking For

Required

• 5+ years in a senior DevOps or Infrastructure Engineering role with end-to-end infrastructure ownership

• Deep expertise with Kubernetes — EKS experience strongly preferred

• Broad experience across multiple infrastructure domains: networking, security, monitoring, IaC — not just CI/CD

• Proven track record building and managing AWS infrastructure at scale

• Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines

• Recent, active hands-on work in an infrastructure engineering role

Nice to Have

• Deep hands-on expertise with Terraform and Terragrunt

• Experience building and managing infrastructure for B2B SaaS products

• Familiarity with Docker, Python, Bash scripting, and Jenkins

• Background supporting AI/ML workloads or data-intensive platforms

Please note: Visa sponsorship is not available for this role. Candidates must be authorized to work in the United States.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: $160,000 – $200,000 USD annually, depending on experience

• Equity participation in an early-stage, venture-backed company

• Opportunity to shape the infrastructure of a rapidly scaling AI platform from the ground up

Location

This is an on-site role based in New York, NY . Candidates should be local to or willing to relocate to the New York City area.
