About the Role

This is a high-ownership, hands-on Senior DevOps Engineer role at a fast-growing, AI-native consumer intelligence SaaS startup (11–50 employees) headquartered in New York City. The platform is trusted by enterprise-scale customers — including Fortune 500 retailers — for critical data and decision-making workflows.

You'll own the infrastructure end-to-end: architecting, building, and maintaining the cloud systems that keep the platform secure, scalable, and highly reliable. You'll work closely with backend and ML engineers, championing GitOps and infrastructure-as-code across the organization.

What You'll Do

  • Architect and build secure, scalable cloud infrastructure using IaC (Terraform / Terragrunt) on AWS
  • Design and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines; convert manual processes into automated, repeatable workflows
  • Own production reliability — set up observability stacks, define SLI/SLOs, and lead incident response
  • Implement and champion GitOps workflows for all infrastructure deployments
  • Build compliance-ready infrastructure (SOC 2, GDPR) with IAM best practices and secrets management
  • Optimize cloud costs while maintaining performance and reliability at scale
  • Create developer tooling and documentation that accelerates engineering workflows across the team
  • Mentor team members on DevOps best practices and help guide overall infrastructure strategy

What We're Looking For

Required

  • 5+ years owning infrastructure end-to-end in production environments (hands-on work within the last 2 years, not purely architectural)
  • Deep expertise with Kubernetes (EKS strongly preferred)
  • Proven experience building and managing AWS infrastructure for B2B SaaS products
  • Designed and maintained CI/CD pipelines in production
  • Broad DevOps scope: infrastructure, deployment, and monitoring — not just CI/CD
  • Experience at VC-backed startups or mid-sized technology companies
  • Currently resides in the greater NYC area

Nice to Have

  • Deep hands-on expertise with Terraform and Terragrunt
  • Familiarity with Python and/or Bash scripting
  • Background in AI/ML platform infrastructure or high-volume data pipeline environments
  • Experience at companies such as Meltwater, Qualtrics, Medallia, NielsenIQ, Kantar, Talkwalker, or similar enterprise SaaS / consumer intelligence firms

Note: Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: $160,000 – $200,000 USD annually, depending on experience
  • Equity participation at a well-funded, early-stage startup
  • Opportunity to be a foundational infrastructure hire with significant technical influence

Location

This is an on-site role based in New York City, NY. Candidates must currently reside in the greater NYC area.
