As a Senior or Staff DevOps Engineer on Platform Infrastructure you will design and operate the infrastructure that supports Trase OS across Trase-hosted and customer-controlled environments. You will build secure repeatable deployment patterns spanning AWS Microsoft Azure Google Cloud Platform private cloud hybrid cloud and on-premises infrastructure.

This is a hands-on engineering role with broad ownership. You will work across application packaging Kubernetes infrastructure as code (IaC) networking security observability release engineering and production reliability. You will also partner directly with engineering and customer-facing teams to turn deployment requirements into systems that can be installed upgraded operated and supported consistently.

The level will reflect your experience and demonstrated scope. Staff-level candidates will be expected to lead architecture across teams establish engineering standards and mentor other engineers.

Trase OS supports mission-critical long-running workflows in environments with different cloud services network controls security requirements and operating models. Our deployment architecture must remain portable without sacrificing reliability security or operational clarity.

This role will reduce one-off deployment work remove avoidable dependencies on a single cloud provider and establish reusable infrastructure that internal teams and customers can operate with confidence.

• Architect build and operate secure infrastructure across AWS Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform as well as private-cloud hybrid-cloud on-premises and customer-controlled environments.
• Containerize and package Trase OS application services using Docker Kubernetes Helm Kustomize or equivalent tools.
• Create reusable infrastructure-as-code (IaC) modules and deployment workflows using Terraform Pulumi or comparable tooling.
• Design deployment patterns that account for customer-specific requirements such as restricted networks limited or no egress approved registries data residency and cloud account ownership.
• Identify replace or abstract hard dependencies on managed cloud services when they prevent portability across deployment environments.
• Troubleshoot complex issues across applications Kubernetes clusters cloud services networks and infrastructure rather than treating platform work as CI/CD scripting alone.
• Build and maintain CI/CD and GitOps workflows release orchestration environment promotion upgrade paths rollback procedures and version compatibility controls.
• Build and operate observability for Trase OS across metrics logs traces dashboards alerting and SLOs so teams can diagnose failures and support customer deployments.

• Lead infrastructure and reliability decisions that affect multiple product and customer teams.
• Set practical standards for production readiness cloud portability security observability and operational support.
• Make clear tradeoffs between speed maintainability cost security and customer requirements and drive decisions through implementation.
• Build reusable platform capabilities that replace one-off deployment solutions.
• Mentor engineers and raise the teams ability to design ship and operate distributed systems.

• 10 years of software platform infrastructure SRE or DevOps engineering experience including ownership of production systems.
• Deep hands-on experience with Linux Docker Kubernetes and production cluster operations.
• Strong experience with Helm and infrastructure as code such as Terraform or Pulumi including reusable modules state management testing and change review.
• Hands-on infrastructure experience with at least two of AWS Azure and GCP with working knowledge of core compute networking storage identity and managed-service patterns across all three.
• Experience deploying and operating software across customer-controlled private-cloud hybrid-cloud or on-premises environments including adapting cloud-native SaaS products for these deployment models.
• Strong understanding of networking DNS ingress load balancing certificates IAM secrets management persistent storage and service-to-service security.
• Experience building and operating CI/CD or GitOps systems including production releases upgrades and rollbacks with metrics logs traces SLOs and alerts for incident response.
• Strong software engineering and automation skills in Python Go TypeScript or a similar language with the ability to work across application and infrastructure layers.
• Experience designing secure portable production infrastructure including hardening systems and replacing or abstracting cloud-specific managed services when needed.
• Experience converting a cloud-native SaaS product into a customer-hosted private-cloud or on-premises deployment model.
• Demonstrated experience using AI-assisted coding and engineering tools to accelerate development infrastructure automation troubleshooting operational analysis or incident investigation.

• Experience operating in restricted-network disconnected regulated or security-sensitive environments.
• Familiarity with compliance and security frameworks such as HIPAA SOC 2 NIST FedRAMP or related government requirements.
• Experience with service mesh policy as code admission controls software supply-chain security artifact signing or software bills of materials.
• Hands-on experience with Crossplane or meaningful contributions to CNCF projects such as code documentation design or community maintenance.
• Experience supporting long-running stateful data-intensive AI/ML or GPU-enabled workloads.
• Customer-facing engineering solutions architecture or forward-deployed engineering experience.
