Software Engineer, DevOps

Overview

Own the infrastructure behind Plane Cloud and the path that gets one codebase into every self-hosted environment, including Terraform, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and alerting.

What you'll do

• Own Plane Cloud's infrastructure on AWS and Kubernetes: defined in Terraform, deployed through GitOps with Argo CD and Rancher Fleet, and sized so capacity and cost keep pace with usage.
• Build and run the CI/CD pipelines that ship one codebase to Plane Cloud and to the Docker Compose and Kubernetes deployments self-hosted customers run.
• Design installs and upgrades that work in places you will never log into: customers' own clouds, sovereign clouds, and air-gapped networks with no internet connection.
• Run observability across the platform, with Datadog and the LGTM stack for metrics, logs, and traces, so we hear about degradation before a customer does. When an alert fires, you respond.
• Own infrastructure security: access controls, vulnerability management, and the findings Wiz surfaces.
• Work daily with backend and frontend engineers in San Francisco and Hyderabad, with customers' platform teams, and with community members whose self-hosted issue reports land in public on GitHub.
• Debug problems that cross every layer, chase them to the real cause, and turn the fix into a default or a doc so the next customer never hits it.

What you'll need

• Production infrastructure experience on AWS or GCP, defined as code in Terraform or similar.
• Ability to walk through an outage you handled and what you changed afterwards.
• Experience operating Kubernetes clusters in production, not only deploying to them.
• Experience packaging applications with Docker and Docker Compose.
• Experience building CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar) that a team shipped through every day, and automating the rest in Bash, Python, or Go.
• Experience tracing an issue into networking (DNS, TLS, firewalls, VPNs, load balancers), a reverse proxy like Nginx or Caddy, or the Postgres and Redis behind an application.
• Experience setting up monitoring and alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or similar) that caught a real problem before users did.
• Experience putting infrastructure security into practice: least-privilege access, secrets management, and patching vulnerabilities on a schedule.

Nice to have

• Contributed to Plane, run it self-hosted, or contributed to an open-source infrastructure tool people rely on.
• Deployed into regulated, sovereign, or air-gapped environments.
• Run GitOps with Argo CD or Rancher Fleet, or managed many clusters with Rancher.
• Operated RabbitMQ or Kafka in production.
• Used AI agents in operations work.
