About this role
Dropzone AI is on a mission to scale cybersecurity beyond human limits by augmenting security engineers with AI specialists. As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will own and evolve the infrastructure of their AI platform, ensuring secure and scalable systems while collaborating with engineering and security teams.
Responsibilities:
- Enhance production monitoring and observability in containerized environments
- Improve our infrastructure-as-code deployments (Pulumi) to prepare for scaling to the next customer growth inflection point
- Develop and refine internal tooling to support efficiency and reliability. Strengthen the reliability, performance, and scalability of our core SOC analyst product, which automates human investigation techniques to analyze security alerts
- Participate actively in a 24x7 on-call rotation, maintaining high availability and rapid response
- Contribute to future expansion efforts to support multi-cloud infrastructure (GCP, Azure)
- Write new product features when interested and excited to do so
Requirements:
- 4+ years of experience as a DevOps, Infrastructure, or Site Reliability Engineer with practical, hands-on depth
- Skills in observability and monitoring (e.g. Prometheus, Grafana), distributed tracing
- Strong experience with containerization technologies, especially Docker and Kubernetes (k8s)
- Software development skills with Python, capable of writing production-level code
- Solid understanding of distributed systems, including troubleshooting, identifying bottlenecks, and performance optimization
- Infrastructure-as-code experience, maintaining fully automated CI/CD deployment pipelines
- System administration and infrastructure management capabilities
- Familiarity with modern security best practices, common vulnerabilities, and securing distributed environments
- Ability to differentiate when a production-grade service is necessary versus implementing a one-time or temporary solution
- Early-stage startup mindset; you conquer ambiguity and move with lightspeed execution
- Data-driven decision making - it's part of your DNA
- Pulumi preferred
- A strong opinion on emacs vs vim
