About the role:

You'll own the systems that power Locus -- from infrastructure and automation to CI/CD and reliability engineering. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who can see the big picture, drive architectural decisions, and enable engineering teams to ship faster, safer, and smarter. You won't just maintain systems -- you'll build leverage across teams by leading with a platform mindset and creating scalable, self-serve infrastructure.

Role Description:

Infrastructure at Scale

Design and evolve our cloud-native infrastructure (AWS/Kubernetes), ensuring availability, performance, and cost efficiency across regions and products.

Platform & Developer Experience

Build internal tools and platforms that help engineers deploy, monitor, and scale their services independently -- with minimal friction and maximum confidence.

CI/CD & Release Automation

Architect secure, fast, and scalable CI/CD pipelines across multiple environments using tools like GitHub Actions, and Jenkins.

Reliability Engineering

Champion observability, SLOs, and incident response practices. Drive a culture of proactive performance monitoring and resilient system design.

Security & Governance

Integrate DevSecOps practices -- from policy-as-code and automated audits to secure secrets management and vulnerability scanning.

Mentorship & Thought Leadership

Guide and mentor DevOps and SRE engineers. Partner closely with platform developers on infrastructure strategy, deployment patterns, and production readiness.

Qualification:

Experience:

10+ years in DevOps/SRE/Infrastructure roles, ideally in SaaS, product-led or scale-up environments.

Cloud & Infra Expertise:

Deep knowledge of AWS services, Kubernetes (EKS), VPC networking, container orchestration, and autoscaling patterns.

Automation & IaC:

Proficiency in Terraform, Helm, GitOps, and scripting (Python/Go/Bash). You automate first, troubleshoot second.

Delivery Mindset:

Experience of running fast, secure, zero-downtime deployments at scale -- and improving release velocity without trading off stability.

Reliability Thinking:

Understanding of SRE principles, SLOs, failure domains, and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog).

Collaboration:

Strong cross-functional communication. You're as comfortable in architecture reviews as in incident retrospectives.

Bonus Points:

Experience with service mesh (Istio/Linkerd), internal platform engineering, or multi-tenant architectures.

We provide competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and a collaborative environment where your expertise will drive both your growth and that of the organization.Locus is an equal opportunity employer dedicated to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace.
