Staff DevOps Engineer
San Francisco, CA (Hybrid) | Full-Time
We’re partnering with a well-capitalized infrastructure technology company building the foundation for the next generation of transportation. This organization sits at the intersection of energy, logistics, and software, developing large-scale systems that support the rapid adoption of electric and autonomous vehicle fleets across the U.S.
With $1B+ in committed capital and a growing national footprint, the team is tackling complex, real-world challenges — from distributed cloud systems to high-availability infrastructure powering physical operations.
They’re looking for a Staff DevOps Engineer to help scale and evolve their cloud platform and developer infrastructure.
What You’ll Do
- Lead the design and evolution of cloud infrastructure (AWS, Terraform) to support rapid growth
- Build and maintain Kubernetes (EKS) environments and scalable deployment patterns (Helm)
- Develop and improve CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions) to enable reliable, self-service deployments
- Drive observability initiatives using tools like OpenTelemetry and Grafana
- Strengthen security and compliance practices through automation (SOC 2, monitoring, access controls)
- Build internal tooling to improve developer experience and platform reliability
- Support containerized development workflows across local and cloud environments
- Design infrastructure for machine learning workloads, including training and deployment systems
- Partner with data teams to scale data infrastructure (Databricks, Kafka, streaming systems)
- Contribute to highly available, production-grade systems supporting real-world operations
- Participate in a 24/7 on-call rotation to ensure system reliability
What You Bring
- 8+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering
- Strong background in AWS and Kubernetes (EKS)
- Experience building and operating high-availability production systems
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or similar)
- Familiarity with observability frameworks/tools (OpenTelemetry, Grafana, etc.)
- Experience working with databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or similar)
- Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams
Nice to Have
- Experience with multi-region AWS infrastructure at scale
- Exposure to Kafka, Databricks, or modern data platforms
- Experience improving security and compliance through automation
- Proficiency in Python or Node.js
Compensation
- $204K – $233K base salary + bonus + comprehensive benefits
Why This Role
- Work on mission-critical infrastructure tied to real-world systems (not just SaaS)
- Be part of a company with significant funding and long-term backing
- Help shape the future of sustainable transportation and logistics
- Join a team operating at the intersection of software, energy, and physical infrastructure
