We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer who has operated production systems at scale, takes strong ownership, and can mentor junior engineers across distributed teams (US and global). This is a hands-on senior individual contributor role with technical leadership responsibilities — not a management position.

You welcome feedback, prioritize team success over individual credit, and build trust across distributed teams. Ownership with a Bias for Action: You take responsibility for systems end-to-end. You make pragmatic decisions, move with urgency, and deliver reliable solutions in a fast-paced startup environment without waiting to be told what to do. Adaptability & Problem-Solving Mindset: You stay calm under pressure, especially during production incidents. You learn quickly, think in systems, and balance reliability, scalability, and cost while working constructively with others.
