Our RTK Corrections Network and Positioning Engine deliver centimeter-level accuracy and high-confidence positioning for vehicles, robots, drones, and devices across industries. We’re API-first, developer-focused, and pushing the boundaries of autonomy and automation.\nRole Outcome\nSenior DevOps Engineers own the infrastructure, automation, and deployment systems that keep Point One’s services running reliably at scale - from the cloud and on-premise environments to the CI/CD pipelines and observability stack that the entire engineering team depends on.\nThis is an ownership-first role: you will build and operate the infrastructure that serves real-time corrections to hundreds of thousands of devices in the field, spanning cloud and bare-metal environments, with the availability and repeatability that mission-critical positioning demands.\nThe infrastructure you own is the foundation every other team builds on. This role is responsible for keeping it automated, observable, secure, and scalable: provisioning and managing environments as code, hardening deployment pipelines, and ensuring the network stays healthy as new regions, reference stations, and customers come online.\nSuccess in this role means:\nInfrastructure is provisioned, configured, and managed as code - reproducible, version-controlled, and easy to evolve.\n\nDeployments are automated, safe, and fast, giving engineers confidence to ship frequently.\n\nServices run reliably across all hosted environments, even under load and partial failure.\n\nObservability is comprehensive - the team catches and resolves issues before customers feel them.\n\nInfrastructure decisions reflect a deep understanding of real-world constraints - reliability, scale, security, and cost.\n\nEngineers across the company are unblocked by self-service tooling, clear processes, and well-maintained environments.\n\nImmediate Areas of Focus\nOwn Infrastructure as Code\nProvision and manage cloud, on-premise, and bare-metal infrastructure using Terraform and SaltStack configuration management.\n\nBuild reproducible, version-controlled environments that are easy to stand up, evolve, and tear down.\n\nBreak down high-level goals into concrete tasks, schedules, and milestones, and hold yourself accountable for delivering against them.\n\nEnsure infrastructure is well-structured, documented, and built to last as the product and customer base grow.\n\nAutomate Deployment and Delivery\nDesign, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins) that make shipping fast, safe, and repeatable.\n\nContainerize services with Docker and orchestrate them with Kubernetes across environments.\n\nDrive improvements in build, test, and release workflows so engineers can deliver with confidence.\n\nStandardize deployment patterns and reduce toil through tooling and automation.\n\nOperate Reliable Systems\nOwn observability - metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting (Prometheus, Grafana) - so issues are caught and resolved before customers feel them.\n\nDesign for high availability, graceful degradation, and recovery across cloud and on-premise environments.\n\nIdentify and resolve infrastructure bottlenecks and reliability risks early, particularly as traffic and scale grow.\n\nParticipate in on-call rotation and lead incident response, drive root-cause analysis, and follow through on durable fixes.\n\nSupport the Engineering Team\nBuild self-service tooling and clear processes that unblock engineers and reduce friction.\n\nCollaborate with backend, embedded, firmware, and customer-facing teams to deliver reliable end-to-end systems.\n\nSurface infrastructure risks and tradeoffs early so architecture and delivery decisions reflect real-world constraints.\n\nFollow security and access-management best practices across infrastructure, secrets, and deployment pipelines.\n\nQualifications\nProven professional experience (5+ years) in DevOps, SRE, infrastructure, or platform engineering.\n\nProven ability to provision and operate production infrastructure - from setup through deployment and on-call ownership.\n\nProven ability to decompose high-level goals into actionable tasks, realistic schedules, and clear milestones - with a track record of delivering on commitments.\n\nHands-on experience with AWS cloud.\n\nStrong experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform).\n\nExperience with containers (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) in production.\n\nExperience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions).\n\nExperience with observability and monitoring tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana).\n\nComfortable scripting and automating in any general-purpose language.\n\nSolid understanding of networking, Linux systems, and security fundamentals.\n\nBonus Points For\nExperience with programming languages (Go, Java, Python, Node).\n\nExperience operating hybrid cloud and on-premise / bare-metal fleets at scale.\n\nBackground in highly available or mission-critical systems.\n\nExperience supporting real-time or low-latency services.\n\nExperience with distributed and clustered data stores (e.g., ScyllaDB, PostgreSQL)\n\nExperience with security and compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2).\n\nOur Cultural Foundation\nAt Point One, our cultural and operating design is built around one guiding principle: we must move with extreme speed and efficiency of effort to stay in a leadership position.\nThis environment gives people a high level of autonomy and the ability to make a real impact. It also challenges every team member to grow - both professionally and personally. Because we focus on promoting from within rather than relying on external hiring, the opportunities for advancement are tremendous for those who seek them.\nThat said, growth only comes from delivering in the present. What matters most is the job to be done today, not the job you want tomorrow. When we all focus on today’s outcomes with excellence, the path to greater responsibility and growth naturally follows.\nWe think about our culture in two dimensions:\nHow We Show Up Every Day\nThese are the behaviors we expect every team member to bring to work - the foundation of being a consummate, high-output teammate:\nTrust / Assume Best Intent - Trust allows us to move fast. When we start from trust, we spend no time second-guessing or looking for ulterior motives and thus focus all our energy on acting.\n\nHigh Output, Action Oriented - Our default posture is “yes.” We bias toward action and deliver results quickly, knowing that speed and efficiency compound into impact as we unblock others around us.\n\nDivine Discontent - We’re never satisfied with the status quo and are self-motivated to improve ourselves, our work, and our company. We actively seek feedback in real-time to shorten improvement cycles.\n\nNo Ego, One Team - Collaboration without ego creates leverage. When we win as one team, we eliminate friction and move faster together.\n\nSelf Accountability - Taking ownership is the straightest line to learning, self-improvement, and correcting our course of action. And blaming others around us is a fast path to destroying trust.\n\nOperating Principles\nThese are the systems and norms that amplify speed and efficiency at the company level:\nEdge Innovation - We bias toward action over approval. Experiment, decide, and move - failure is just a step toward faster learning.\n\nNo Hierarchies - We practice self-prioritization and go direct to the source. Flattening layers reduces drag and maximizes autonomy.\n\nCustomer Experience First - We optimize for the end-to-end customer outcome, not functional or departmental efficiency. This focus cuts waste, aligns priorities, and ensures we spend effort where it matters most.\n\nIf this role sounds like a fit, we’d love to hear from you.
