Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Cloud DevOps Engineer - **Company:** SIDEGUIDE TECHNOLOGIES INC. - **Location:** San Francisco, CA, United States - **Experience:** Expert - **Salary:** $246,000.0 - $271,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Amazon Web Services, Audit Trail, Microsoft Azure, Databases, Continuous Integration, Distributed Systems, Role-Based Access Control, Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), Google Cloud, Data Ingestion, Kubernetes, Low Latency, Machine Learning Operations, Terraform, Docker - **Published:** September 4, 2026 - **Apply:** https://startup.jobs/cloud-devops-engineer-firecrawl-9497996 ## About the Role Experience: 5+ years in DevOps, Platform Engineering or Cloud Infrastructure Visa: Must be legally authorized to work in the United States. We're not able to sponsor visas right now, though that may change down the line., * You've operated stateful distributed systems on Kubernetes at real scale - not just stateless services * You have deep experience with a major cloud (e.g. GCP, AWS, Azure), Docker, and Terraform; MLOps or ML-serving infrastructure experience (GPU workloads, model deployment pipelines) is a plus * You've run large-scale, data-heavy systems in production - search platforms, crawling or ingestion pipelines, or comparable. Hands-on experience operating Vespa is a strong plus. * You care about latency, cost, and reliability in equal measure * Experience with security and compliance infrastructure (SSO/SAML, audit logging, network isolation, SOC 2) is a strong plus - especially for the Core Platform focus * You're comfortable owning ambiguous problems and turning them into shipped infrastructure, * Someone who needs a fully-specced ticket to start * Someone who wants to specialize narrowly and hand off everything else * Someone who optimizes for process over shipping ## Description You'll build the cloud infrastructure that turns the open web into data - the platform beneath Firecrawl's crawling, scraping, and search products. We need engineers who can make that foundation - Kubernetes, storage, networking, deployments - fast, reliable, and cheap at web scale. You'll own real infrastructure from day one - not tickets in a backlog., * Design, build, and operate GCP and on-prem infrastructure behind Firecrawl's products * Run large stateful and high-throughput workloads on Kubernetes - search clusters, crawling fleets, queues, and databases - with zero-downtime upgrades * Own CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, automations, and containerized deployments across the platform * Drive down infrastructure cost per request while traffic and data volume grow * Build the observability that keeps latency, throughput, and reliability predictable and define the SLIs, SLOs, and customer-facing SLAs we hold ourselves to. * Build and support our enterprise controls - SSO/SAML, RBAC, audit logging, tenant isolation, private networking, and the infrastructure behind SOC 2 and customer security reviews * Work directly with product and search engineers to productionize new services, retrieval, and ML workloads * Own the incident lifecycle with engineers - from on-call and triage process to postmortems and resolution. ## Related Videos - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Kubernetes and Microservices with Multi-Model Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/382-kubernetes-and-microservices-with-multi-model-databases) - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) - [My journey into DevOps world - How it all started!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/545-my-journey-into-devops-world-how-it-all-started) ## Related Articles - [7 Cloud Computing Trends Coming in 2025 for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/412-7-cloud-computing-trends-coming-in-2025-for-developers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
