About Us
Imagine a world where passwords are obsolete, and you never have to recall security questions about your first pet. At PrivateID, we're making this a reality with secure, self-managed digital identities that feel almost magical: think biometric sorcery meets cryptographic brilliance. Trusted by global brands for our privacy-first solutions, we're rapidly scaling to meet the soaring demand for passwordless, zero-trust technology.
About The Role
You'll work under the Lead DevOps Engineer as a key contributor on a collaborative team, executing on infrastructure work, responding to incidents, and helping keep our multi-cloud environments reliable and secure. You're someone who takes direction well, communicates proactively, and brings enough experience to work independently on complex tasks without needing hand-holding.
This is a hands-on, execution-focused role. You'll be deep in Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD pipelines, and on-call rotations day to day.
What You Will Do
Infrastructure & Cloud
- Contribute to multi-cloud infrastructure across AWS (EKS, IAM, multi-account) and GCP (GKE Autopilot, IAM, multi-project) using Terraform
- Help provision and manage per-client environments - VPC, Kubernetes cluster, DNS, SSL, container registry, secrets, and GitOps integration - following established patterns and module library
- Manage bastion hosts, networking, firewalls, and VPC peering under guidance from the lead
CI/CD & GitOps
- Maintain and improve GitHub Actions pipelines for build, test, and deployment workflows
- Support ArgoCD-based GitOps deployments across multiple GKE and EKS clusters
- Help maintain reusable workflow templates used across all product repositories
Observability & Incident Response
- Monitor application and infrastructure health using New Relic dashboards and alerts
- Actively participate in the on-call rotation via PagerDuty - acknowledge alerts promptly, triage issues, escalate when needed, and follow up thoroughly
- Contribute to runbooks and post-mortems after incidents
- Proactively flag performance issues and anomalies to the team
Security & Secrets Management
- Manage and rotate secrets across all environments using Doppler - AWS IAM keys, GCP service account keys, MongoDB Atlas API keys, GitHub tokens
- Follow and uphold least-privilege IAM practices across AWS, GCP, GitHub, and Azure AD
- Assist with employee access provisioning and offboarding
Must Have
- 7+ years in a DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering role
- Strong Terraform skills - modules, remote state, multi-environment configurations
- Hands-on experience with AWS (EKS, IAM, EC2, S3, multi-account) and GCP (GKE, IAM, Workload Identity)
- Kubernetes - Helm, RBAC, namespaces, cluster troubleshooting
- GitHub Actions - building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, reusable workflows
- ArgoCD or similar GitOps tooling
- Active on-call experience - you've been paged, you know how to triage fast and communicate clearly under pressure
- New Relic or equivalent (Datadog, Grafana) - dashboards, alerts, log querying
- PagerDuty - on-call rotations, escalation policies, alert routing
- Secrets management - Doppler, Vault, or AWS Secrets Manager
- Strong scripting in Bash and/or Python
- A team-first attitude - you share knowledge, ask questions early, and don't go dark
Nice to Have
- GCP Workload Identity Federation and AWS IRSA (keyless CI/CD auth)
- MongoDB Atlas administration (clusters, VPC peering, API key management)
- Azure AD / Entra ID user and access management
- Slack app integrations for deployment approvals and alerting
- Experience managing infrastructure for multiple clients or tenants from a single codebase
Benefits
- Competitive compensation and equity
- A remote-first, collaborative culture
