Senior / Staff DevOps Engineer

Job Overview

We are seeking a Senior/Staff DevOps Engineer who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment and is passionate about building reliable, secure, and scalable infrastructure alongside a talented team. The ideal candidate blends deep operational expertise with strong software engineering instincts, partnering closely with engineering, security, and product stakeholders to design and operate the platform that powers identity verification for customers around the world.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred) using infrastructure-as-code, with an emphasis on repeatability, security, and cost efficiency.


• Own and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines. Automated integration and unit testing, provisioning, deployments, and rollbacks to keep delivery fast and safe.


• Build and maintain observability across the platform, including monitoring, logging, tracing, alerting, and meaningful dashboards that surface issues before customers do.


• Improve and advance our security posture: secrets management, encryption in transit and at rest, IAM and least-privilege access, network segmentation, and vulnerability management across all infrastructure.


• Drive compliance readiness by partnering with security and leadership to maintain, automate, and provide evidence for controls across frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, (HIPAA a plus), including audit support and continuous control monitoring.


• Lead incident response and the on-call rotation; drive blameless postmortems, reduce mean-time-to-recovery, and turn lessons learned into lasting fixes.


• Define and uphold reliability targets (SLOs/SLIs), capacity planning, and performance tuning as we scale across countries and industries.


• Leverage AI-powered tooling (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and others) to accelerate infrastructure-as-code, automation, and internal tooling, and to improve incident triage and response.


• Partner with engineering to improve developer experience and deployment velocity, removing friction and automating away toil.


• Drive a culture of operational excellence, reliability, security, and continuous improvement across the engineering organization.
