DevOps Engineer, US

📋 Job Overview

Join our mission to accelerate companies around the world by building and operating the infrastructure that makes high performance possible. We're proud to work with many incredible companies, accelerating their ability to build their products.

🏢 About Namespace

We've spent years watching talented engineering teams lose momentum to the same frustrating bottleneck: waiting. Waiting for CI to finish. Waiting for builds to complete. Waiting for tests to run. After experiencing this pain firsthand at companies of every size, we set out to build the developer infrastructure platform we'd always wanted to use. Something that would seamlessly integrate with our workflows and the tools teams already love—but make everything dramatically faster and more cost-effective.

🎯 The Role

As a DevOps Engineer at Namespace, you'll build and operate the infrastructure that makes this performance possible. You'll own the compute, storage, and networking behind every build our customers run, keeping the platform fast, reliable, and cost-effective as we accelerate more companies around the world.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Own the reliability, performance, and scalability of the infrastructure that runs every customer’s build, test, and CI job on Namespace.
• Optimize performance across compute, memory, storage, and networking.
• Automate provisioning, deployment, scaling, and recovery across our fleet.
• Build observability, alerting, and incident response processes that identify and resolve issues before they affect customers.
• Drive capacity planning and cost efficiency, so we continue to deliver infrastructure that is both faster and more cost-effective.
• Collaborate closely with product engineers to ship new capabilities quickly and safely.

📌 Required Qualifications

• Strong engineering fundamentals and hands-on experience operating production infrastructure at scale.
• Deep knowledge of Linux, networking, and storage, plus experience with tools like Kubernetes, Terraform, or similar.
• Proficiency in Go, Python, or a similar language, automation is paramount.
• Deep experience with observability tooling and participating in on-call rotations.
• A strong focus on performance and a rigorous approach to measuring and improving it.

⭐ Desirable Experience

• Experience with bare metal, virtualization (KVM, Firecracker), or running CI/CD systems at scale.

🎁 Benefits

• Competitive salary and stock options
• Flexible working hours
• Market-leading parental leave
