Devops Engineer

Every engineering team at NewtonX depends on the infrastructure platform layer to build, deploy, and operate their services reliably - but they should depend less and less on DevOps as we automate everything. That’s the mission. In this role you’ll own significant pieces of the platform that keep NewtonX running: the CI/CD pipelines that ship code, the GKE clusters that run it, the observability stack that watches it, and the security controls that protect it. You won’t be maintaining someone else’s setup - you’ll be improving it, questioning it, and replacing the parts that no longer fit. The technical challenge: a GCP-native stack spanning GKE, Cloud Run, Dataflow, Cloud SQL, BigQuery, Pub/Sub, and Cloudflare, serving five engineering teams with different deployment patterns and reliability requirements. If you love building platform infrastructure that quietly makes everyone else’s job easier and occasionally loudly fixing things before they break, this is where you’ll do meaningful work.

What You’ll Build

You’ll own platform work end-to-end, from design through deployment and operation.

• Improve infrastructure reliability: Own GKE workloads, Cloud Run services, and the shared platform layer. Identify single points of failure and eliminate them before they become incidents.
• Evolve CI/CD pipelines: Maintain and harden shared GitHub Actions workflows used by all engineering teams. Supply-chain security, EOL runtime upgrades, reusable composites.
• Build and operationalize observability: Metrics, logs, alerting, and on-call workflows using Datadog and Prometheus. Design dashboards that surface problems, not noise.
• Drive infrastructure-as-code standards: Write, review, and refactor Terraform across all environments. Set the bar for what good IaC looks like at NewtonX.
• Improve event-driven autoscaling: Advance KEDA with application-aware custom metrics per workload - moving beyond CPU thresholds to metrics that actually reflect load.
• Harden security posture: IAM least-privilege, Workload Identity Federation, SOC2 evidence, Cloudflare Zero Trust, and CI/CD supply-chain controls.
• Roll out data anonymization: Implement and scale data anonymization tooling across dev and staging environments to support safe PR deployments and data replication workflows.
• Collaborate across teams: Architecture reviews and direct partnership with engineering teams on infrastructure decisions.
