Role
As our DevOps Engineer, you will own the infrastructure that powers APAS's AI products for water utilities and the engineering firms that serve them. You'll be the first dedicated DevOps hire at an early-stage startup, which means you're not maintaining someone else's system. You're building it.
You'll help us make and execute a foundational decision that's still open: AWS vs. Azure. From there, you'll stand up our cloud workplace, CI/CD pipelines, and monitoring from the ground up using infrastructure as code, so that every environment is reproducible and every deployment is safe. Our core product runs on a knowledge graph and ontology layer, so you'll work closely with the data and engineering team to keep that infrastructure performant and secure, especially since we handle regulatory and government data.
You'll report directly to the CEO, with the autonomy to make real infrastructure decisions and the responsibility that comes with it. As we grow, you'll help us think through the infrastructure implications of scaling across borders and teams.
This is a builder role for someone who wants ownership from day one, not a maintenance role for someone who wants a system already in place.
This is not a job you'll do in a silo. Expect tight and transparent communication loops across our team.
Must Have
5+ years hands-on DevOps/infrastructure experience, ideally with time at an early-stage startup where they built infra from scratch rather than just maintained someone else's setup
Real production experience with AWS and/or Azure, and ideally enough judgment to help us actually close out the AWS vs. Azure decision, not just execute on one that's already made
Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or equivalent). We need someone who stands up environments repeatably, not by hand
CI/CD pipeline design and ownership (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar)
Docker required. Container orchestration experience (Kubernetes or equivalent) strongly preferred
Solid Linux administ
