Akkadian Labs is a Collaboration Lifecycle Automation Platform that services some of the largest global enterprises and government agencies. Our platform currently reduces manual work by up to 90% and costs by as much as 50%, while improving accuracy and governance across leading Unified Communications platforms.

This ability to innovate at scale defines who we are: big enough to compete at the highest level, yet agile enough to stay ahead of a rapidly evolving market. Our culture is people-first, fully remote, and rooted in grit, clarity, trust and respect, because when our people thrive, so do our customers.

You are a hands-on Senior Dev Ops Engineer with deep experience designing, building, and strengthening the infrastructure that keeps platforms secure, compliant, and uncomplicated. You bring substantial experience maintaining production infrastructure and improving operational reliability through disciplined engineering practice. You have a track record of helping to scale systems with a focus on dependability, observability, deployment confidence, and repeatable processes that support long-term growth.

You are energized by solving infrastructure challenges in complex enterprise environments and by building systems that reduce manual work, improve governance, and support operational accuracy at scale.

This role supports Akkadian’s purpose to uncomplicate work by removing friction between people and their purpose — helping enterprise customers govern, automate, and continuously control complex collaboration environments across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises systems. You will design, implement, and maintain scalable and secure infrastructure and Dev Ops processes at Akkadian Labs. You will work closely with development, QA, and product teams to enable reliable deployments, automate workflows, and improve system observability across Rocky OS-based, AWS-hosted, and on-premises solutions.

This is a hands-on technical role focused on system-level execution, continuous improvement, and operational excellence within the Dev Ops function.
