About the Role

We're a rapid-moving startup building a high-traffic communication product and production-grade ML models. We're looking for a language-agnostic DevOps Lead to take complete ownership of our infrastructure from scratch — cloud environments, secure architectures, CI/CD, observability, and developer tooling that backend and ML engineers rely on daily.

Responsibilities
Architect, provision, and scale cloud infrastructure across GCP/AWS/Azure for both web backends and compute-intensive ML workloads
Establish cloud accounts from scratch with strict IAM policies, RBAC, and secure networking (VPCs, subnets, peering)
Build robust, language-agnostic CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI for safe multi-environment deployments
Containerize and orchestrate applications using Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm
Deploy and manage Matrix homeserver infrastructure (Synapse/Dendrite) including federation, workers, and database setup
Build observability from a blank slate — monitoring, logging, alerting using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or Datadog




Instrument applications for deep insights into API performance, system health, and ML model inference metrics
Manage infrastructure as code with Terraform or Pulumi — version-controlled, repeatable, cloud-agnostic
Collaborate with software engineers and ML researchers to remove deployment bottlenecks and maintain developer velocity

Requirements
8+ years in DevOps, SRE, or Cloud Infrastructure with holistic infrastructure ownership
Language-agnostic — comfortable navigating Python, Go, Node.js, Java codebases for tooling and instrumentation
Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and Helm in production
Strong IaC proficiency (Terraform or Pulumi)
Extensive CI/CD pipeline experience (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI)
Security-first mindset — cloud networking, IAM/RBAC, secrets management
Proven ability to build monitoring/logging stacks from scratch
Builder's mentality — comfortable starting with a bl
