Senior DevOps Engineer

Description:

Are you ready to make a true difference with cutting-edge data solutions? Vetric isn’t just another tech company - we’re on a mission to empower critical businesses in public safety, cyber security, and business intelligence with the data they need, exactly how and when they need it.

Vetric is the secret weapon for companies across cybersecurity, digital risk protection and business intelligence. We are the industry leader: Turning messy, fragmented web data into rock-solid, structured, stable, and scalable pipelines. We get rid of the noise so our customers can move fast, stay sharp, and focus on what matters.

We are seeking a Senior 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.

Why Vetric?

We’re profitable, fast-growing, and proudly independent, with over 100 customers and record-breaking ARR, all without raising a cent.

We take pride in building things that actually work at scale. No duct tape. No drama.

You’ll join a team that moves fast, builds clean, and sweats the details, because when the stakes are high, stability matters.

If you’re excited by hard problems and real impact, you’ll fit right in.

Role & 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)

We hire people, not just skills. We encourage you to apply if you think this role is a great fit for you, even if you don’t meet 100% of the requirements.
