Are you a DevOps expert eager to shape the infrastructure powering the next generation of AI-driven cybersecurity?

Join a pioneering company building the AI-powered autonomous InfoSec team of the future — designed to protect modern mid-market organizations from ever-evolving cyber threats.

We combine threat intelligence, attack surface management, third-party risk monitoring, and real-time autonomous mitigation into a single platform powered by multi-agent AI orchestration.

What you’ll be working on

You’ll be part of our founding engineering team, helping to build an AI agent-friendly SecOps platform that redefines how teams and intelligent systems collaborate to secure organizations.

Your mission: bridge development and infrastructure, streamline our developer experience, and elevate our CI/CD, infrastructure, performance, and observability practices. You’ll play a vital role in creating a scalable, secure, and developer-friendly environment — one where humans and AI work side by side to defend the future of cybersecurity.

Your Role

As a DevOps Engineer, you will:

  • Maintain and evolve a smooth CI/CD pipeline using TypeScript (Pulumi), GitHub Actions, GCP, Kubernetes, and Datadog (or similar tools).
  • Champion a DevOps culture that values reliability, security, and simplicity.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering to ensure systems are secure, observable, and optimized for performance.
  • Contribute to crafting an exceptional developer experience that empowers rapid, safe, and continuous delivery.

We care deeply about continuous shipping, built-in quality, readability, and even the small details — yes, we might spend time debating how to name a function!
