Software Engineer; DevOps​/Platform Engineering

About Liberate Liberate builds AI agents to automate manual tasks for the $2.7T insurance industry. We started with voice, the hardest and most valuable channel in insurance, and are now expanding into full workflow automation across sales, servicing, and claims. Our long-term vision is to build reasoning agents capable of handling the entire spectrum of insurance carrier and broker operations. We've raised $72M to date, including a $50M Series B in October 2025, backed by top-tier venture firms.

About The Role We are looking for a seasoned Staff Dev Ops and Platform Engineer to own and evolve the infrastructure that powers Liberate’s real-time AI voice and workflow automation systems. This is a critical technical leadership role. You will inherit and advance a modern AWS-based platform that spans PBX telephony, canary routing, MTLS-based integrations with carriers, secure production environments, CI/CD, and compliance posture.

You will drive reliability, scalability, and operational rigor across our multi-agent runtime. You will also mentor engineers, design forward-looking system improvements, and create the platform foundations that enable Liberate’s rapid product expansion.

• Infrastructure Architecture and Ownership Lead architecture and operation of core AWS infrastructure including PBX systems, EKS, networking, IAM, VPC design, and secure environment isolation.
• Own and improve Canary routing infrastructure for LRA (LLM REST API) via Traefik and Git Ops patterns.
• Maintain and optimize CI/CD flows including Git Hub-based Code Build jobs, artifact pipelines, and environment promotion workflows.
• Secure Integrations and Network Edge Manage and evolve MTLS proxy infrastructure used to integrate with carrier systems like Frontline. Own HAProxy-based proxy fleet, certificate lifecycle, root CA management, and IP-restricted ingress patterns. Ensure secure, audited access to production systems, tokens, and root-level accounts.
• Operational Excellence Lead incident response, on-call rotations, and postmortems. Improve reliability metrics (SLA/SLO/SLI) for voice, agent runtime, and workflow systems. Maintain and improve non-obvious production infra details including external service dependencies, version pinning, and update cadences. Partner with AWS Support to optimize pricing, scaling configs, and resource utilization.
• CI/CD, Tooling, and Developer Experience Modernize developer workflows: streamlined builds, repeatable environments, safe deployment strategies (blue/green, canary, feature flags). Build internal tools and abstractions to make engineers productive while enforcing safety, configuration hygiene, and compliance requirements.
• Compliance and Security Lead infrastructure-related components of SOC2, pen-testing, and Vanta-driven controls. Ensure auditability, traceability, secure storage of credentials, and alignment with enterprise customer expectations.
• Cross-Functional Leadership Work closely with AI Platform, Forward Deployed Engineering, and Product teams to translate business goals into scalable infrastructure decisions. Mentor engineers across Dev Ops, platform, and backend areas. Help set engineering standards and raise operational maturity across the org.

• 8+ years of Dev Ops, SRE, or platform engineering experience operating production systems at scale.
• Deep hands-on AWS expertise (EKS, IAM, VPC, ALB/NLB, Cloud Watch, KMS).
• Strong experience with Kubernetes , container orchestration, and multi-environment management.
• Proficiency with Terraform or other IaC tools and Git Ops workflows.
• High proficiency in Python , Go , or Typescript for tooling, automation, and internal platform services.
• Experience with Traefik , HAProxy, or similar…
