Senior DevOps Engineer

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to own the infrastructure that powers Tellius at scale. This isn't a maintenance role — it's a builder role. You will be responsible for the reliability, performance, and security of the cloud and Kubernetes infrastructure that our AI agents, analytical engines, and enterprise customer deployments run on, 24/7.

As we scale our agentic platform — including AI workloads, LLM-backed investigation pipelines, and high-throughput data processing — the infrastructure underneath needs to be bulletproof. You will set architectural direction, drive automation, and ensure our platform can grow without breaking.

This is a senior, hands-on position. You will partner closely with engineering, QA, and product teams to make releases faster and safer — and you will mentor junior engineers, raising the bar on operational standards across the team.

Key Responsibilities

Infrastructure & Platform Ownership

Own the architecture, scalability, and reliability of cloud infrastructure across AWS (preferred), Azure, or GCPManage and automate infrastructure using Terraform and IaC practicesAdminister and harden containerized workloads using Docker and Kubernetes, including cluster lifecycle, scaling, and production troubleshooting

Customer Deployment & Enablement

Lead private Kubernetes deployments of Tellius on customer-managed cloud environments, working directly with customer IT and infrastructure teams. Manage the full deployment lifecycle — upgrades, health checks, and troubleshooting — across diverse multi-cloud environments. Act as the primary technical point of contact during customer deployments, navigating varied security, compliance, and networking requirements

Delivery & Automation

Design, build, and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines for frequent, zero-downtime deployments. Implement and mature GitOps workflows using ArgoCD or FluxCD. Automate routine operational tasks through scripting in Shell or Python

Reliability, Security & Observability

Build and maintain observability using AI-assisted AIOps tools alongside Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK. Leverage AI-driven log analysis to reduce alert noise, predict failures, and accelerate root cause identification. Implement robust backup, disaster recovery, and security practices. Strengthen network security, load balancing, and TLS management across production systems

Collaboration & Leadership

Mentor junior DevOps engineers through code review, pairing, and documentation. Collaborate with engineering and QA to streamline release cycles and improve delivery velocity. Own production incidents, root-cause analysis, and long-term reliability improvements

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 3–7 years of hands-on experience in a DevOps or SRE role, including time in a senior or lead capacity.
• Strong, production-grade experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS preferred).
• Deep experience managing, scaling, and troubleshooting Docker and Kubernetes clusters in production.
• Solid working knowledge of Terraform and Infrastructure as Code practices.
• Strong scripting and automation skills in Shell and/or Python.
