You'll be the person who keeps our systems running, our deployments smooth, and our data infrastructure healthy. We run a modern stack across GCP, Oracle Cloud (OCI), and MongoDB Atlas, using Kubernetes and Docker throughout. As a B2B SaaS company serving enterprise customers, you'll also play a key role in maintaining our security posture and compliance standards, including SOC 2 Type 2.

- Manage and optimize MongoDB Atlas clusters—performance tuning, scaling, backup/recovery, and security.
- Own our BigQuery data warehouse—schema management, query optimization, and cost management.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment.
- Manage Kubernetes clusters and containerized deployments (Docker).
- Implement infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible, or similar).
- Set up monitoring, alerting, and observability across all systems.
- Maintain and improve our SOC 2 Type 2 compliance posture—implement controls, document procedures, and support audits.
- Ensure security best practices across infrastructure and databases—access controls, encryption, vulnerability management.
- Troubleshoot production issues and participate in incident response.
- Collaborate with developers to improve deployment workflows and system reliability.
Requirements
- 5 years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering.
- Strong experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP)—Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud Storage, IAM, and networking.
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and Docker in production environments.
- Experience administering MongoDB Atlas—cluster management, performance tuning, backups, and security configuration.
- Experience with BigQuery or similar data warehouse platforms—schema design, query optimization, cost management.
- Proficiency with CI/CD tools (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar).
- Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform preferred).
- Strong scripting skills (Python, Bash, or similar).
- Solid understanding of networking, security, and Linux system administration.
- Experience with monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or similar).
- Experience with SOC 2 Type 2 compliance—implementing controls, maintaining evidence, and supporting audits.
Nice to Have
