Head of Devops

Description:

For many of us there’s that one podcast we never miss, and video content is part of our daily routine, whether it’s professional or personal. But how many of us truly understand the effort that goes on behind the scenes? Here at Riverside, we know it well. That’s exactly why we built an AI-powered platform that helps content creators, podcasters, marketeers, and more at major brands like Netflix, Disney, Google, and Microsoft to create high-quality content with ease.

Riverside’s technology streamlines the entire content creation process, turning ideas into professional-grade content with the highest production standards, without requiring expensive equipment or external services. The secret? AI-driven tools that replace traditional production roles like editing, directing, and design, automating the entire process at the click of a button.

About the Engineering Team

We’re a team of smart, curious engineers building scalable, reliable systems that power content creation for millions. We work with modern web technologies, tackle real-world challenges in distributed systems, and keep things practical—no overengineering, just solid solutions. If you love solving tough problems, moving fast, and building tech that creators actually use, you’ll fit right in.

On your day to day

We’re looking for a Head of DevOps to lead the evolution of our infrastructure and DevOps methodologies as we scale. If you're passionate about building scalable, high-performance systems and leading a top-tier team in a fast-paced startup environment, we’d love to chat!

In this role, you'll own our cloud infrastructure and deployment processes, shaping the tools that power our applications. You'll work across all stages of development, from concept to production, ensuring high availability, reliability, and efficiency at scale.

You'll be responsible for designing, deploying, and optimizing infrastructure for media processing and web services, managing thousands of pods on EKS. You'll own deployment, monitoring, and uptime of AWS environments, optimize for video processing, ML training, and real-time prediction, and drive CI/CD automation. Staying ahead with AWS, Kubernetes, Prometheus, and more, you’ll lead best practices for IaC, monitoring, and logging.

This is a high-impact leadership role for someone who thrives on scaling complex systems, improving efficiency, and pushing DevOps innovation forward

What Will Make You Stand Out?

• 10+ years of DevOps experience, including 2+ years in a managerial role, preferably in a startup or fast-growing company
• Extensive experience with the Kubernetes stack (Docker, K8S, Helm, ArgoCD, Ingress, Service Mesh)
• Strong expertise in infrastructure as code (AWS CDK, Terraform, Crossplane – advantage)
• Proven experience with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Coralogix – advantage)
• Deep understanding of networking, security, and system architecture planning, with a hands-on, ownership-driven approach

Bottom line? If you wanna take part in transforming how people and businesses share their stories globally, Riverside’s your place. The work is challenging, the culture is fast-paced, and the people are exceptionally brilliant. And if that’s not enough, we guarantee that your ideas will genuinely make an impact.
