Senior DevOps Engineer

We are building a world-class team and would love you to join us. As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you'll be part of an agile project team working with all the infrastructure pieces of a system. From writing code to provision infrastructures to driving root cause analysis, all while making sure you have fun learning and building things.

You will also be guiding the team on DevOps methodologies and best practices, and have very close contacts with CEO, COO (others) from client side, so English must feel as second nature to you.

Key Responsibilities

• Model lifecycle enablement with MLflow & Model Registry: packaging, promotion gates, rollbacks, and canary/shadow deploys.
• CI/CD & IaC: GitHub Actions + Terraform for infra, data, and model pipelines with environment promotion and approvals.
• Governance & quality: Unity Catalog + DataHub for access/lineage/metadata, Soda checks as pipeline gates.
• Reliability, security, and cost: SLOs/dashboards, on-call runbooks, least-privilege IAM/secrets/networking, and ongoing FinOps (compute/DBUs, autoscaling, TTLs).
• Enablement: partner with DS/ML/Eng; document patterns and drive self-service.

Required Skills & Experience

• 4+ years platform/SRE/infra or data platform roles, 2+ years in MLOps.

• Terraform (modules/state/policy-as-code) and GitHub Actions (OIDC to AWS, env promotion).
• AWS core (S3, IAM, networking).
• Kafka (producers/consumers, schema registry, replay).
• Observability & data quality: CloudWatch with Prometheus/Grafana/OpenTelemetry; Soda for DQ checks.
• Solid grasp of feature-store concepts (offline vs online, TTL, joins, leakage prevention, time travel).

Preferred

• Hands-on with Databricks Feature Store/Unity Catalog FS, Feast, or similar.
• Snowflake (Snowpark, tasks/streams) integrated with a feature platform.
• EKS/ECS and progressive delivery (blue/green, canary).
• Testing/tooling: Terratest/pytest, dbx/Databricks CLI, Makefiles.
