Senior DevOps/Platform Engineer

About the role

Jitsu gives companies of any size the power to deliver their products directly to customers’ doorsteps within a day, without the typical cost and complexity of expedited shipping. Our proprietary technology provides same-day and next-day delivery to some of the world’s fastest-growing brands by matching driver supply with shipper demand. Jitsu’s services are live in 30 major metropolitan areas, with many more on the way. We’re looking for a Senior DevOps / Platform Engineer to help evolve the infrastructure that powers our platform, along with the tools and systems that keep our engineering team productive and shipping continuously.

Responsibilities

• Own key parts of the DevOps effort for a global engineering team and a platform supporting millions of transactions per day — and more than doubling annually
• Drive improvement across our development process and tooling: source control, build, test, packaging, release, and deployment
• Drive improvement in our infrastructure configuration, management, and cost efficiency
• Enhance monitoring and observability across all infrastructure and services, for both availability and performance
• Partner with other technical leaders to improve our architecture’s maintainability, scalability, and resilience
• Serve as a technical lead to software and DevOps engineers on development and operations practices
• Partner with other technical leaders to strengthen our information security posture
• Contribute to the team’s development and operations standards and processes

Requirements

• Deep experience in continuous integration and delivery and in cloud infrastructure and operations — ideally on Google Cloud Platform
• A demonstrated record of tackling increasingly challenging projects

Qualifications

• Strong, hands-on experience with Terraform (or similar)
• Experience operating a GitOps workflow with ArgoCD (or similar)
• Strong experience building and operating cloud infrastructure at scale — compute, VPC networking, storage, message queues, serverless, DNS, load balancing, IAM, and logging
• Production experience running and operating Kubernetes at scale — cluster lifecycle and upgrades, workload scheduling and resource management, autoscaling (HPA/cluster/event-driven), networking and ingress, and diagnosing complex cluster issues
• Authoring, configuring, and maintaining Helm charts for templated, repeatable application deployments across environments
• Experience deploying, operating, and tuning a mix of data stores — relational (PostgreSQL / CloudSQL), NoSQL document (MongoDB), wide-column (Cassandra), and cache (Redis) — including replication, backups, scaling, and performance troubleshooting
• Demonstrated track record deploying and monitoring large-scale, mission-critical services — defining SLIs/SLOs, building actionable alerting, and driving incident response and blameless post-mortems
• Solid grounding in cloud and infrastructure security — IAM, secrets management, network policy, and supply-chain hygiene

Skills

• CI/CD & release automation
• Infrastructure as Code
• GitOps
• Cloud infrastructure (GCP preferred)
• Kubernetes operations
• Helm
• Databases at scale
• Reliability & monitoring
• Security

Bonus

• Java application release engineering
