About the Role
Solve Education! is hiring a DevOps / Cloud Engineer to build and own the cloud foundation behind our mission: helping young people everywhere reach their potential through accessible, AI-powered learning. This is a high-ownership role for someone who wants their work to keep a global learning platform reliable, secure, and cost-efficient.
You'll design, operate, and improve our cloud environment (primarily AWS, with some GCP) across infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, security, reliability, and cost. You'll work with a high degree of autonomy and make sound calls without waiting for direction.
Our stack: AWS (primary) and GCP · Pulumi/Terraform · GitLab CI · Python/Bash for automation.
Before You Apply
This role carries real ownership of production systems learners depend on. You'll handle ambiguity, balance competing priorities, and weigh reliability, security, and cost in your decisions. Some of the near-term work is foundational - tightening how we manage access, credentials, and deployments. We look for engineers who stay composed under pressure, take full accountability, and hold a high bar without close supervision.
If you want a role where infrastructure decisions have visible impact and your work directly supports a mission that matters, we'd love to hear from you.
Responsibilities
Infrastructure & IaC
- Design, build, and manage cloud infrastructure on AWS (and GCP where needed) using Pulumi/Terraform.
- Keep infrastructure available, performant, and scalable as the platform grows.
CI/CD & Deployments
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI) for fast, safe, repeatable deployments.
- Manage releases, rollbacks, and deployment safety to minimize disruption.
Security, Reliability & Monitoring
- Apply least-privilege access, sensible network configuration, and good secrets management.
- Run monitoring, logging, and incident response; keep downtime low and detection useful.
- Maintain backups and a workable disaster-recovery plan.
Cost & Collaboration
- Keep cloud spend visible and efficient with budgets and usage controls.
- Work with the Product & Technology team so infrastructure supports what's being built, and keep documentation and operational standards up to date.
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years in DevOps, cloud infrastructure, SRE, or platform engineering.
- Hands-on experience with AWS (and GCP experience a plus).
- Proficiency with Pulumi/Terraform and CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI or equivalent).
- Solid cloud-security fundamentals: IAM, least-privilege, networking, and secrets management.
- Experience with monitoring, logging, and incident response.
- Scripting for automation (Python or Bash).
- Pragmatic judgment about reliability vs. cost, with the ability to work independently and own outcomes.
Bonus Points If You Have
- Containerized workloads (Cloud Run, ECS) and basic orchestration.
- Experience moving from static credentials to federated identity (Workload Identity Federation, OIDC).
- Exposure to data-platform infrastructure (BigQuery, Airflow).
- A habit of using AI tools to speed up infrastructure and automation work.
- Experience in mission-driven or non-profit organizations.
Why Join Us?
You'll be joining a team with a bold mission to transform education. We don't expect perfection, but we do expect creativity, ownership, and a strong learning attitude. If you're looking for a conventional engineering role, this may not be the right fit. But if you're ready to lead with technology, build solutions that matter, and create real-world impact - we'd love to hear from you.
