## About the Role

* You have 5+ years in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering, including having built or substantially matured a function - ideally as a founding or early DevOps hire, or as the person who brought order to an environment that didn't have it yet.
 * You have deep AWS experience, plus solid working knowledge of Google Cloud, and you've owned production infrastructure, networking, and cost in AWS at a senior level.
 * You have CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code mastery - you've built deployment pipelines and codified infrastructure that teams actually adopt, and you can bring standards where there are none.
 * You have production reliability and incident ownership experience - you've owned uptime, built observability, and been the person responsible when something breaks.
 * You have database and data-layer operations experience - owning production database reliability, automated and tested backups, and schema/data migrations executed without downtime or data loss.
 * You have hands-on cloud security experience - identity and access management (IAM), secrets management, and vulnerability remediation - and you've worked with compliance frameworks like SOC 2.
 * You're comfortable with ambiguity and do your best work in semi-structured environments where you get to impose the structure, rather than being paralyzed by a lack of instruction.
 * You want to build a function, not maintain one, and you'd rather own the whole surface - reliability, delivery, cloud, data, and security - than a narrow slice of one of them.

Bonus Points If:

 * You have experience in MarTech, analytics, or data-infrastructure companies, or with large-scale data pipelines.

## Description

Founding DevOps engineer responsible for establishing InfoTrust's DevOps function, including production reliability, incident response, observability, CI/CD, infrastructure as code, AWS and Google Cloud infrastructure, cost management, database operations, backups, migrations, cloud security, and SOC 2 controls. This hands-on individual contributor will define standards, build automation, participate in on-call, and improve systems across reliability, delivery, data, cloud, and security., * Reliability & Incident Response - Own the health of our production systems. Define what reliability means for each product, build the observability to catch issues early, and establish incident response - ownership, escalation, and on-call - so outages are rare, short, and well understood.

 * Delivery & Automation - Own how code moves safely and repeatably to production. Build the CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and release automation that let teams ship quickly without sacrificing stability.
 * Cloud Infrastructure & Cost - Own our cloud footprint across AWS and Google Cloud. Contribute to the architecture, capacity, and cost decisions that keep our products performant as they scale, and manage cloud spend deliberately.
 * Data Reliability & Operations - Own the reliability of our data layer. Keep production databases reliable and performant, ensure backups are automated and validated through real restores, and make schema and data migrations routine - executed without downtime or data loss.
 * Security & Compliance - Own the security posture of our infrastructure. Strengthen our cloud environments, partner with our external penetration-testing provider on ongoing security work, and serve as R&D's technical point person for SOC 2, implementing and maintaining the controls that fall to our team while Legal leads the broader compliance program., * You want a finished playbook on day one - you'll be writing it, often while things are still moving underneath you.
 * You expect a specialist's narrow lane - this is a broad role, and reliability, delivery, cloud, data, and security all sit with you.
 * You'd rather security be someone else's job.
 * You prefer big-company process and consensus over making good calls with imperfect information and limited existing structure.
 * You'd rather specialize in a single cloud than operate fluently across AWS and Google Cloud.

Logistics

Reports To: Engineering leadership on the R&D team

Scope: A hands-on individual-contributor role. You'll define the function and do the work - there is no existing DevOps team to inherit, and no direct reports to manage

On-Call: As our founding DevOps hire, you'll participate directly in the on-call rotation, including the one you design and improve. As the function grows, on-call is shared across the team

Partners With: Our external penetration-testing provider on ongoing security work, and the Legal-led SOC 2 program as R&D's technical point person

Autonomy: High. You'll operate with a broad mandate and room to set direction where structure doesn't exist yet
