What You'll Do

As a DevOps Engineer, you will own the reliability, automation, and operational discipline of Virtue AI's production systems. When something breaks, you fix it. When it doesn't scale, you redesign it.

You will:

• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions
• Own repo structure, branching strategy, release workflows, and versioning
• Build and operate Kubernetes infrastructure on GKE
• Package, deploy, and optimize services using Docker
• Design production-grade system observability
  
  • Metrics, logs, alerts, dashboards
  • Datadog, Grafana, Prometheus
• Monitor and improve service reliability, latency, and uptime
• Debug real production issues across infra, networking, containers, and code
• Partner with backend, ML, and platform engineers to remove operational bottlenecks

What Makes You a Great Fit

You don't just "set up pipelines." You understand why systems fail, and you design so they don't fail the same way twice.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience
• Strong hands-on experience with:
  
  • CI/CD (GitHub Actions required)
  • Repository management (monorepos, release branches, tagging, rollbacks)
• Deep experience with:
  
  • Kubernetes
  • Docker
• Experience designing and operating observability systems
  
  • Datadog and/or Grafana in production
• Strong understanding of system design
  
  • Availability, scalability, fault isolation
• Proven ability to solve real production problems, not just configure tools
• Comfortable working directly on production systems

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience operating ML / LLM inference systems
• Experience with GPU workloads and resource scheduling
• Experience supporting enterprise customers with SLAs
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform / Pulumi)
• Startup experience: you move fast, take ownership, and clean up after yourself
