The Opportunity

Akido Labs is looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our small, high-impact infrastructure team. Reporting to engineering leadership, you'll own the systems that keep our platform reliable, secure, and scalable as we grow. This is a hands-on role with real ownership — you won't be maintaining someone else's playbook, you'll be writing the next one. If you thrive in lean teams where your decisions have direct product impact, this is the role for you.

What you’ll do

- Design, provision, and maintain cloud infrastructure on AWS using Terraform and infrastructure-as-code best practices
- Manage and evolve Kubernetes clusters, ensuring reliability, performance, and security across environments
- Build and improve CI/CD pipelines to accelerate delivery and reduce deployment risk
- Monitor system health, respond to incidents, and drive post-mortems to prevent recurrence
- Collaborate closely with software engineers to support application deployment and platform needs
- Harden infrastructure security posture, including IAM policies, network segmentation, and secrets management
- Contribute to capacity planning, cost optimization, and cloud architecture decisions
- Support a multi-cloud environment, including limited work in Azure
- Document infrastructure, runbooks, and operational procedures to support a growing team

Who you are

- 5+ years of experience in a DevOps, Platform, or SRE role (required)
- Deep expertise with AWS — networking, compute, storage, IAM, and managed services (required)
- Strong proficiency with Terraform for infrastructure-as-code (required)
- Hands-on experience managing Kubernetes in production (required)
- Solid understanding of CI/CD principles and tooling (required)
- Experience working on small, collaborative teams where you wear multiple hats (required)
- Experience with Azure or other cloud providers (preferred)
- Familiarity with observability tooling — logging, metrics, and tracing (preferred)
- Strong written communication skills for documentation and async collaboration (preferred)
