Senior DevOps​/Site Reliability Engineer

Senior Dev Ops / Site Reliability Engineer

A fast-growing, venture-backed deep tech company is looking for a senior-level Dev Ops or Site Reliability Engineer to take ownership of core infrastructure, automation, and developer tooling. This is a highly hands-on role suited to engineers who enjoy working close to the metal, writing real code, and supporting complex, production-critical systems.

You will be joining a technically ambitious environment where software, infrastructure, and physical systems intersect. The focus is on building reliable, scalable platforms from the ground up rather than maintaining legacy processes.

• Designing, building, and maintaining infrastructure across cloud and on‑prem environments
• Owning containerisation and orchestration using Kubernetes and Docker
• Building and optimising CI/CD pipelines and internal developer tooling
• Writing production‑grade code to automate infrastructure, workflows, and platform operations
• Supporting high‑performance simulation, analysis, and internal engineering platforms
• Improving system reliability, monitoring, and observability as the platform scales

• Strong background in Dev Ops, SRE, or infrastructure engineering at a senior level
• Ability to code confidently, ideally in Python or Go, with an engineering‑first mindset
• Experience building tools, not just configuring services
• Deep understanding of Linux systems and modern infrastructure practices
• Hands‑on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and infrastructure‑as‑code tools such as Terraform
• Comfortable working in a fast‑moving, low‑process environment where you may wear multiple hats

• Background in highly technical or engineering‑led organisations
• Experience supporting compute‑heavy workloads or simulation environments
• Exposure to regulated or safety‑critical industries
• Interest in physics, hardware, or complex systems

• Full‑time, onsite role based in the Greater Los Angeles area
• Small, highly technical team with a strong bias toward ownership and impact
• Best suited to engineers who enjoy autonomy and solving hard problems end to end

• Competitive base salary depending on experience, plus equity and benefits and stock options.
