DevOps & Reliability Engineer

DevOps & Reliability Engineer
Who are we?
Webiks builds data-driven software and AI systems that solve real problems. Our work spans GenAI and agentic systems, geospatial (GIS) platforms, machine learning, and large-scale web systems, for clients in defense, government and the commercial sector. We favor open-source technologies, and our project teams combine Full-stack Developers, DevOps Engineers, Data Scientists, Product Managers and UX/UI Designers.
You'll join the team behind one of our flagship projects: a national-scale public platform that serves as critical infrastructure for government and public workflows. It runs on AWS in the government cloud and serves as a map engine and data API for other systems. When major public announcements go out, traffic can jump by orders of magnitude within hours.
Who are you?
You see reliability, observability and infrastructure as a product, not an afterthought, and you want to own them for a system used nationwide.
You want to work inside a development team, not in a separate ops silo. You understand how a feature flows through the code, the pipeline and the infrastructure, and you make that flow faster and safer.
You'd rather find problems in a dashboard than hear about them from users.
You use AI tools (such as Claude Code) daily for infrastructure-as-code, scripting and troubleshooting, and you know when not to trust them.
You learn fast, enjoy variety, and like turning "it works, mostly" into "we know it works, and we know why."
What you'll do
Build observability from the ground up: metrics, tracing (OpenTelemetry), dashboards and alerting across services, databases and edge.
Own infrastructure changes on AWS via Terraform, including EKS, RDS (PostGIS), OpenSearch, CloudFront, and messaging and caching layers.
Run load testing and capacity planning ahead of peak events, and improve autoscaling.
Tune performance across the database, caching layers and GeoServer.
Modernize CI/CD and release safety, and improve developer experience and tooling for the team.
Lead security hardening and patching, and design backup and disaster recovery.
Drive incident investigation and blameless postmortems.
Estimate costs and design solutions that balance effectiveness and cost.
