DevOps Engineer; Hands-On, Initiative Leader

About us

Action1 is an autonomous endpoint management platform that is cloud-native, infinitely scalable, highly secure, and configurable in 5 minutes—it just works and is always free for the first 200 endpoints, with no functional limits. By pioneering autonomous OS and third‑party patching - AEM's foundational use case - through peer‑to‑peer patch distribution and real‑time vulnerability assessment without needing a VPN, it eliminates costly, time‑requiring routine labor, preempts ransomware and security risks, and protects the digital employee experience.

Trusted by thousands of enterprises managing millions of endpoints globally, Action1 is certified for SOC 2 and ISO 27001.

We are looking for a very technical candidate, who is expected to be extremely hands‑on in technologies used, lead the way by example, develop, maintain and implement infrastructure as code, and any respective technologies. This is not a managerial role.

As a Staff Dev Ops Engineer at Action1 lead initiatives – not tasks –and drive the technical vision for our Dev Ops function. This is a high‑impact individual contributor role for someone who builds systems, not stopgaps; who operates autonomously; and who consistently raises the engineering bar.

You will partner closely with our IT Operations Lead and take ownership of platform reliability, automation, infrastructure architecture, and deployment strategy. Your work will define how Action1 scales its cloud platform over the next several years.

Dear Candidate! We really value your time.
