Role OutcomeSenior DevOps Engineers own the infrastructure, automation, and deployment systems that keep Point One's services running reliably at scale - from the cloud and on-premise environments to the CI/CD pipelines and observability stack that the entire engineering team depends on.
This is an ownership-first role: you will build and operate the infrastructure that serves real-time corrections to hundreds of thousands of devices in the field, spanning cloud and bare-metal environments, with the availability and repeatability that mission-critical positioning demands.
The infrastructure you own is the foundation every other team builds on. This role is responsible for keeping it automated, observable, secure, and scalable: provisioning and managing environments as code, hardening deployment pipelines, and ensuring the network stays healthy as new regions, reference stations, and customers come online.
Success in this role means:- Infrastructure is provisioned, configured, and managed as code - reproducible, version-controlled, and easy to evolve.
- Deployments are automated, safe, and fast, giving engineers confidence to ship frequently.
- Services run reliably across all hosted environments, even under load and partial failure.
- Observability is comprehensive - the team catches and resolves issues before customers feel them.
- Infrastructure decisions reflect a deep understanding of real-world constraints - reliability, scale, security, and cost.
- Engineers across the company are unblocked by self-service tooling, clear processes, and well-maintained environments.
Immediate Areas of FocusOwn Infrastructure as Code- Provision and manage cloud, on-premise, and bare-metal infrastructure using Terraform and SaltStack configuration management.
- Build reproducible, version-controlled environments that are easy to stand up, evolve, and tear down.
- Break down high-level goals into concrete tasks, schedules, and milestones, and hold yourself accountable for delivering against them.
- Ensure infrastructure is well-structured, documented, and built to last as the product and customer base grow.
Automate Deployment and Delivery- Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins) that make shipping fast, safe, and repeatable.
- Containerize services with Docker and orchestrate them with Kubernetes across environments.
- Drive improvements in build, test, and release workflows so engineers can deliver with confidence.
- Standardize deployment patterns and reduce toil through tooling and automation.
Operate Reliable Systems- Own observability - metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting (Prometheus, Grafana) - so issues are caught and resolved before customers feel them.
- Design for high availability, graceful degradation, and recovery across cloud and on-premise environments.
- Identify and resolve infrastructure bottlenecks and reliability risks early, particularly as traffic and scale grow.
- Participate in on-call rotation and lead incident response, drive root-cause analysis, and follow through on durable fixes.
Support the Engineering Team- Build self-service tooling and clear processes that unblock engineers and reduce friction.
- Collaborate with backend, embedded, firmware, and customer-facing teams to deliver reliable end-to-end systems.
- Surface infrastructure risks and tradeoffs early so architecture and delivery decisions reflect real-world constraints.
- Follow security and access-management best practices across infrastructure, secrets, and deployment pipelines.
Qualifications- Proven professional experience (5+ years) in DevOps, SRE, infrastructure, or platform engineering.
- Proven ability to provision and operate production infrastructure - from setup through deployment and on-call ownership.
- Proven ability to decompose high-level goals into actionable tasks, realistic schedules, and clear milestones - with a track record of delivering on commitments.
- Hands-on experience with AWS cloud.
- Strong experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform).
- Experience with containers (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) in production.
- Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions).
- Experience with observability and monitoring tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana).
- Comfortable scripting and automating in any general-purpose language.
- Solid understanding of networking, Linux systems, and security fundamentals.
Bonus Points For- Experience with programming languages (Go, Java, Python, Node).
- Experience operating hybrid cloud and on-premise / bare-metal fleets at scale.
- Background in highly available or mission-critical systems.
- Experience supporting real-time or low-latency services.
- Experience with distributed and clustered data stores (e.g., ScyllaDB, PostgreSQL)
- Experience with security and compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2).
