When the paved road, shared infrastructure, CI/CD, and guardrails are solid, every engineer at Klue gets faster, safer, and more cost effective to support, without having to think about it.\nYou'll work alongside the rest of the DevOps team, as well as engineering managers across Product, Data, and AI, and our Security and Compliance stakeholders.\nThis is a role for someone who is systems-minded, pragmatic, security-aware, and allergic to toil. Someone who'll jump in when the platform's on fire, but always ask what change stops the next one from starting. You balance proactive and reactive work, and when you get to choose, you choose proactive. That's what moves the ratio in the right direction.\nWhat’s In It for You?\nYou'll own real infrastructure at real scale and have deep, hands-on experience across cloud, platform engineering, infrastructure, and developer experience, with authority over the IaC, GKE, and CI/CD architecture every team depends on. You'll help shape how a fast-moving, AI-first engineering org ships software safely.\nKlue moves fast and builds AI-first. This role involves keeping engineering fast, the platform scalable and secure, and costs fully visible. The four areas below are where most of that lives, not where it ends:\nWhat You’ll Do\nOwn the paved road for infrastructure. Build and extend our Pulumi component library so teams get correct, disaster-recovery-ready infrastructure by default instead of hand-rolling stacks across our GCP environments.\n\nRun GKE like a product. Handle cluster and node pool upgrades, in-cluster services, workload right-sizing, and policy enforcement so Kubernetes stays reliable as we scale.\n\nMake CI/CD something engineers never think about. Own the core building blocks of our CI/CD workflows, cut CI time and flake rate fleet-wide, and standardize the golden path for shipping services.\n\nGive engineers real visibility into their own systems. Improve the internal developer platform surfaces that show what's actually happening under the hood.\n\nKeep production legible. Own the health of our observability stack: consistent instrumentation, actionable alerts, and less noise on-call.\n\nTreat cost like an engineering problem. Drive GCP and LLM cost reduction through attribution, right-sizing, commitment planning, and killing off orphaned resources.\n\nMake the secure path the fast path. Extend our software supply chain controls, own infrastructure identity and access, and build SOC 2 and other compliance requirements into automated, evidenced controls, so audits are a byproduct of how we build.\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\nWe want you to love the role you are in and believe these skills and experiences will help you to be successful!\nSelf-Serve Platform: New services are provisioned from standardized components without DevOps writing bespoke infrastructure\n\nReactive Load Trends Down: DevOps spends less time on reactive work every quarter, on-call page volume moves in the same direction.\n\nCI Speed & Trust: Median pipeline duration and flaky-failure rate both drop measurably across the fleet\n\nSecurity & Audit Readiness: Controls are automated and evidenced, with audit findings in your areas trending to zero.\n\nCost Efficiency: GCP spend per unit of workload declines through right-sizing and cleanup, with clear per-team attribution that makes tradeoffs visible to their owners.\n\nReliability: The services that matter have published SLOs, real error budgets, and incident reviews that produce durable platform fixes.\n\nAutomation Over Repetition: Recurring manual work gets automated, not repeated.\n\nWhat You Bring\nMust-Haves\nDeep, hands-on experience in DevOps, SRE, platform, or infrastructure engineering, operating production systems that paying customers depend on, including being on-call for them.\n\nDeep, practical Kubernetes knowledge.\n\nInfrastructure as code treated as software. Pulumi or Terraform.\n\nStrong GCP or AWS fundamentals.\n\nYou have a background in systems engineering and writing software.\n\nCI/CD owned as a product. You've built and maintained pipelines used by other teams, GitHub Actions or Buildkite preferred, GitLab CI / CircleCI transfers.\n\nHands-on experience with security tooling as an engineering practice.\n\nCompliance engineering for SOC 2 or enterprise partner security programs implemented as automated controls; threat modeling, etc\n\nOwnership under ambiguity. You scope a vague problem, ship it incrementally, and tell people clearly what changed and why.\n\nFluent with AI coding tools, with experience working with AI-first teams.\n\n Nice-to-Haves\nYou have owned platform migrations and decommissions.\n\nBuilt an internal developer platform or self-service tooling that other engineers adopted.\n\nComfort with LLM infrastructure (gateways, token cost attribution, rate limiting, provider failover).\n\nOur Tech Stack\nGCP\n\nKubernetes\n\nPulumi IaC\n\nPostgres\n\nTemporal\n\n⬇ ⬇ ⬇ ⬇ ⬇ ⬇ ⬇ ⬇ ⬇ ⬇ ⬇ ⬇ ⬇ ⬇ ⬇ ⬇ ⬇\nNot ticking every box? That’s okay. We take potential into consideration. An equivalent combination of education and experience may be accepted in lieu of the specifics listed above. If you know you have what it takes, even if that’s different from what we’ve described, be sure to explain why in your application.\nAt Klue, we're committed to building a high-performing team where people feel a strong sense of belonging, can be their authentic selves, and are able to reach their full potential. If there’s anything we can do to make our hiring process more accessible or to better support you, please let us know, we’re happy to accommodate.\nWhy Klue Might Be the Perfect Fit For You\nAt Klue, you’ll push the boundaries of what’s possible.

This is a place where your ideas matter, you can shape what comes next, and leave your mark.\nIf you’re looking to join a category-defining company… where you own big outcomes, influence real customers, and work with smart, gritty people… you’ll thrive here.\nUnlock Your Potential.
