Senior DevOps Engineer

Summary

Build and maintain secure, scalable cloud infrastructure for a passwordless identity platform using Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines.

Imagine a world where passwords are obsolete, and you never have to recall security questions about your first pet. At PrivateID, we're making this a reality with secure, self-managed digital identities that feel almost magical: think biometric sorcery meets cryptographic brilliance. Trusted by global brands for our privacy-first solutions, we're rapidly scaling to meet the soaring demand for passwordless, zero-trust technology.

About The Role

You'll work under the Lead DevOps Engineer as a key contributor on a collaborative team, executing on infrastructure work, responding to incidents, and helping keep our multi-cloud environments reliable and secure. You're someone who takes direction well, communicates proactively, and brings enough experience to work independently on complex tasks without needing hand-holding.

This is a hands-on, execution-focused role. You'll be deep in Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and on-call rotations day to day.

What You Will Do

Infrastructure & Cloud

  • Contribute to multi-cloud infrastructure across AWS (EKS, IAM, multi-account) and GCP (GKE Autopilot, IAM, multi-project) using Terraform
  • Help provision and manage per-client environments — VPC, Kubernetes cluster, DNS, SSL, container registry, secrets, and GitOps integration — following established patterns and module library
  • Manage bastion hosts, networking, firewalls, and VPC peering under guidance from the lead

CI/CD & GitOps

  • Maintain and improve GitHub Actions pipelines for build, test, and deployment workflows
  • Support ArgoCD-based GitOps deployments across multiple GKE and EKS clusters
  • Help maintain reusable workflow templates used across all product repositories

Observability & Incident Response

  • Monitor application and infrastructure health using New Relic dashboards and alerts
  • Actively participate in the on-call rotation via PagerDuty — acknowledge alerts promptly, triage issues, elevate when needed, and follow up thoroughly
  • Contribute to runbooks and post-mortems after incidents
  • Proactively flag performance issues and anomalies to the team

Security & Secrets Management

  • Manage and rotate secrets across all environments using Doppler — AWS IAM keys, GCP service account keys, MongoDB Atlas API keys, GitHub tokens
  • Follow and uphold least-privilege IAM practices across AWS, GCP, GitHub, and Azure AD
  • Assist with employee access provisioning and offboarding

Must Have

  • 7+ years in a DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering role
  • Strong Terraform skills — modules, remote state, multi-environment configurations
  • Hands-on experience with AWS (EKS, IAM, EC2, S3, multi-account) and GCP (GKE, IAM, Workload Identity)
  • GitHub Actions — building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, reusable workflows
  • ArgoCD or similar GitOps tooling
  • Active on-call experience — you've been paged, you know how to triage fast and communicate clearly under pressure
  • PagerDuty — on-call rotations, escalation policies, alert routing
  • Secrets management — Doppler, Vault, or AWS Secrets Manager
  • Strong scripting in Bash and/or Python
  • A team-first attitude — you share knowledge, ask questions early, and don't go dark

Nice to Have

  • GCP Workload Identity Federation and AWS IRSA (keyless CI/CD auth)
  • Azure AD / Entra ID user and access management
  • Slack app integrations for deployment approvals and alerting
  • Experience managing infrastructure for multiple clients or tenants from a single codebase
