DevOps Engineer

Description:

What is Vetric?

Vetric builds large-scale public data infrastructure.

We provide data pipelines that collect, structure, and deliver high-volume public web data for mission-critical companies operating in cybersecurity, public safety and digital risk protection.

Our systems power platforms that detect bad actors, uncover impersonation and fraud, identify coordinated manipulation, and help public safety organizations respond faster to real-world risks.

We don’t build dashboards, and we don’t sell surface-level insights.

We build stable, production-grade data flows that become part of our customers’ core products, with the real impact of saving lives or huge known organizations from bad actors.

Operating globally, we serve industry leaders across more than 20 countries who rely on us for scale, reliability, and depth.

Why Vetric?

Vetric is profitable from day one (fully bootstrapped - we haven’t raised external funding), and we’re building foundational technology - not chasing trends. Because this is infrastructure that matters, we operate with engineering discipline, strong ownership, and long-term thinking.

We’re at a true inflection point: the team is now large enough to require real infrastructure, yet still small enough that what you build will define how things work for the next several years.

This is infrastructure that matters and so is how we operate internally. You’ll be working with a sharp, focused team that takes engineering discipline seriously and is intentionally building an organization that matches the quality of its product.

Position Overview

We are seeking a DevOps Engineer to lead and own the entire DevOps function at Vetric. 

As our first DevOps hire, you won’t just maintain systems, you will set the vision, establish best practices, and build the foundation of our infrastructure strategy for years to come. This is a unique opportunity to step into an impactful role with full technical authority, influencing architectural decisions and guiding how our engineering teams deliver, scale, and secure our large-scale, data-intensive platform.

Responsibilities:

• Define and drive Vetric’s infrastructure strategy across all environments
• Architect and operate Kubernetes clusters at production scale with a focus on reliability, resilience, and data-heavy workloads
• Lead the adoption of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, OpenTofu, Terragrunt) and establish automation standards
• Implement modern CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ArgoCD, or similar)
• Champion observability, monitoring, and reliability engineering practices
• Build and optimize infrastructure that powers large-scale, data-driven pipelines at massive scale
• Serve as the technical authority for all DevOps matters, influencing and aligning engineering teams
• Partner with engineering leadership to shape infrastructure roadmaps and technology choices

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of deep, hands-on AWS experience (EKS, EC2, networking, IAM, scaling)
• Proven success in senior DevOps / Cloud Engineering leadership roles
• Expert knowledge of Terraform and modern IaC tools (OpenTofu, Terragrunt)
• Strong Kubernetes expertise at scale (design, scaling, optimization)
• Experience running high-scale, production-grade environments handling large data volumes
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence, guide, and align teams
• Solid scripting/automation skills (Bash, JavaScript, Python, or similar)
• Familiarity with cloud-native monitoring & logging stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, CloudWatch, etc.)

We’d be lucky if you:

• Experience with Amazon ECS
• Proficiency with GitHub or similar platforms (GitLab, Bitbucket, etc.)
• Exposure to event-driven architectures and autoscaling frameworks (KEDA or similar)
