Job Specifications
Senior DevOps Engineer (Software-Focused)
Location: El Segundo, CA (full-time onsite)
Working model: Onsite only
A high-growth, venture-backed technology company is hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer with a strong software engineering mindset. This role sits at the intersection of DevOps, SRE, and backend engineering, with a heavy emphasis on writing production-quality code, building internal platforms, and enabling engineering teams through robust tooling.
This is not a ticket-based infrastructure role. You’ll be designing and building software systems that power CI/CD, simulation environments, developer workflows, and large-scale compute infrastructure used in a highly technical, safety-critical environment.
What you’ll be doing
Writing and maintaining production-grade code to support internal platforms, tooling, and automation
Designing and building developer productivity tools that improve build, test, deployment, and runtime workflows
Developing and operating cloud and on-prem infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code, with a strong focus on maintainability and scalability
Building and evolving CI/CD systems as software products, not just pipelines
Working closely with software engineers to support complex workloads, simulations, and internal services
Owning containerised environments using Kubernetes and Docker, with an engineering-first approach to reliability and performance
Setting engineering standards across DevOps, SRE, and platform tooling
What we’re looking for
8+ years of experience across DevOps, SRE, Platform, or Backend Engineering roles
Strong coding ability in Python or Go, with experience building tools, services, or internal platforms
A background that includes real software development, not just configuration or operations
Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and infrastructure-as-code tooling
Strong Linux fundamentals and comfort working close to the system level
Experience collaborating with software engineering teams in fast-moving, technical environments
Ability to work full-time onsite in El Segundo, CA
Nice to have
Experience building internal developer platforms or productivity tooling
Background in highly technical, compute-heavy, or simulation-driven environments
Familiarity with observability, monitoring, and reliability engineering concepts
Interest in physics, hardware, or complex engineering systems
Additional details
This is a full-time, onsite role and may occasionally require extended hours depending on project needs
Visa sponsorship is not available for this position
Employment is subject to compliance with US export control regulations
Compensation
The role offers a competitive base salary, meaningful equity, and a comprehensive benefits package. Final level and compensation are determined based on experience and interview performance.
