Job Description

About the Role

\n

This is a high-ownership, hands-on Senior DevOps Engineer position at a fast-growing, AI-native B2B SaaS company in the consumer intelligence space — think competitors to Meltwater, NielsenIQ, and Qualtrics. You'll own the cloud infrastructure that enterprise-scale customers rely on for critical data and decision-making. Working closely with backend and ML engineers, you'll be the person who makes GitOps, infrastructure as code, and true production reliability a reality for the entire engineering organization.

\n

The team is small (under 50 people) and technically ambitious, with engineers from backgrounds including Microsoft, IBM, and other high-caliber technology organizations. You'll have a direct, outsized impact on how the platform is built and scaled.
