Senior DevOps Engineer - CyberSec / Start-Up

About the Company:

Hyre AI is recruiting for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join a highly ambitious early stage cybersecurity start-up at a crucial time in their growth following a successful seed round.

Our client is on a mission to make the internet a safer place; their products aim to make sure that behind every click, login, and purchase - is a real human being.

If you're a scrappy engineer who wants a role with autonomy & impact, this role might just be for you!

What you'll be doing:

As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you’ll be at the core of our client's infrastructure. They are building a lightning fast, highly maintainable microservice architecture at global scale. Their performance directly impacts clients’ application performance — uptime, latency, and resilience are part of their product’s promise.

You’ll play a key role in the development of CI/CD pipelines and Kubernetes environments, enabling engineers and researchers to ship securely, recover quickly, and move with confidence. You’ll build the systems that make rapid iteration safe — from deployment workflows and rollout strategies to observability, alerting, and incident response.

You'll be actively exploring innovative approaches to automation, deployment, and environment management — things that give our client leverage, speed, and clarity without trading off reliability. You’ll be encouraged to experiment, challenge convention, and bring ideas that raise the bar.

You’ll work closely with engineering, research, and product teams to translate detection breakthroughs into fast, reliable deployments — making sure innovation doesn’t just happen, but ships, scales, and holds up in the real world.

About you:

Here’s the kind of person who our client would be excited to work with:

• You’re resourceful and fast-moving: You know how to navigate ambiguity and move projects forward without needing a playbook.

• You think from first principles: You break problems down to fundamentals, question assumptions, and build smart, original solutions when needed.

• You act with ownership: You take full responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks. You step into gaps, solve problems decisively, and keep standards high.

• You bring high energy and clear thinking: You approach challenges with curiosity, positivity, and focus — and you keep momentum even when things get hard.

• You care about the work, not the ego: You argue the case when it matters, back your thinking with evidence, and adapt quickly when new information comes in.

• You’re multi-dimensional: You're more than just your technical skills — you're intellectually curious, open-minded, and constantly sharpening your edge.

Your experience:

Here's some thoughts on the experience you'll need to be successful in this role:

• You’ve honed your skills over at least 4 years’ experience in DevOps or SRE roles; any background in InfoSec is a bonus
• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes
• Demonstrable experience working with GCP or AWS
• Proficient in CI/CD pipelines (bonus points for GitHub Workflows)
• Familiarity with our programming languages would be a bonus (Node.js, GoLang, Python)

What's in it for you:

• Competitive salary (let’s talk!)
• Stock options – share in their growth
• Employer-matched pension plan
• The opportunity to shape systems that stop fraud before it starts and front-row seat in redefining online trust and identity
