Senior DevOps Engineer

We’re looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to lead the infrastructure strategy and automation behind our Enterprise VPN and Zero Trust networking platform. This role is essential to ensuring product services and customer-deployed gateways are secure, scalable, and always-on.

You’ll own our infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, system observability, and secure deployment practices across public-hosted and customer-deployed environments.

As a key member of the founding team, you’ll shape our technical strategy, engineering practices, and system resilience. Your decisions will influence both product direction and company growth.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement scalable cloud infrastructure using AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker;

• Operate and optimize Linux-based environments running gateways and services

• Build and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions) for backend and desktop applications

• Automate deployment, monitoring, and security hardening of VPN infrastructure

• Manage secrets, TLS certificates, firewall rules, and secure service configurations

• Define and enforce observability practices (dashboards, alerts, metrics, disaster recovery)

• Contribute to incident response and live site operations, including root cause analysis and remediation

• Support internal dev environments, onboarding flows, and infrastructure for developer productivity

• Collaborate with engineers to integrate DevSecOps principles into build and deployment workflows

Required Qualifications:

• 6+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or Infrastructure Engineering roles

• Deep knowledge of Linux/Unix systems administration

• Strong experience with Terraform, Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud providers (AWS required; GCP or Azure a plus)

• Experience deploying and managing high-availability, distributed, and multi-tenant systems

• Familiarity with CI/CD best practices, Git-based workflows, and build/release automation

• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, VPNs, routing, firewalls, DNS, TLS, etc)

• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, etc.)

• Understanding of the full software lifecycle: standards, version control, testing, release, and operations

• Proficiency in at least one scripting or programming language (Python, Bash, or Go)

• Exposure to AI Ops tools and techniques (log correlation, anomaly detection, predictive scaling)

Optional, but Good to Have:

• Experience with OpenVPN or other network tunneling/security tools

• Familiarity with Cloudflare (i.e. DNS, WAF, Zero Trust configuration)

• Exposure to DevSecOps practices, including secrets management, policy-as-code, and vulnerability scanning

• Experience deploying or managing SQL and NoSQL systems (e.g., PostgreSQL, Redis, DynamoDB)

• Familiarity with observability tooling: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, CloudWatch, Datadog, or OpenTelemetry

• Experience with security event logging, anomaly detection, or compliance logging

• Experience with platforms like Datadog APM, New Relic, Splunk, or custom ML-based monitoring

• Experience mentoring or leading junior engineers or cross-functional infrastructure efforts

• Knowledge of enterprise deployment models, network segmentation, and policy-based access control

• Experience in cybersecurity and/or startups

Important:

• This is a full-time remote job, and it will be a long-term B2B contract.

Our philosophy is that we are a small, close-knit team, and we care deeply about you:

• Competitive pay rates

• Fully remote work environments

• Self-managed time off
