DevOps Engineer (BigBrain)

Description

monday.com is looking for a DevOps Engineer to join the **BigBrain group** - the team that builds and operates monday.com's Data Platform, and is leading the company's internal AI innovation.

We own the infrastructure behind billions of daily events - from streaming pipelines and data orchestration to the AI Gateway and ML inference platform that power monday.com's intelligent features. We manage some of the most sensitive data in the company, operate across multiple global regions, and are responsible for keeping it all secure and running at scale.

The BigBrain group consists of diverse teams, including Data Scientists, Full-Stack Engineers, Data Engineers, and BI Engineers. As a DevOps engineer on this team, you'll work across many internal groups - partnering with product, security, data, and platform teams to build infrastructure that's secure, scalable, and increasingly autonomous.

This is an exciting time to join: we're building an AI Gateway to govern LLM usage across the company, scaling our ML inference platform, designing AIOps agents that automate infrastructure operations, and evolving our data platform with modern technologies — all while keeping the foundation rock-solid across multiple regions.

You'll join our DevOps team based in our headquarters in Tel Aviv, Israel.
