What does it mean to be a DevOps at eko?

Being a DevOps Engineer at Eko means connecting with the business at large, rather than focusing solely on a specific niche. You'll collaborate with various departments, and the infrastructure and delivery pipelines you contribute to will reach millions of end-users.

We value expanding skill sets, discovering new areas of excellence, and pursuing passions over rigid job titles.

Your true potential 

CVs and resumes can’t capture the full essence of who you are as a developer. We believe in looking beyond project bullet points and tech stacks to understand the person behind them. We prioritize how you think and solve problems over specific programming languages and their quirks.

Our ideal candidates are curious, creative thinkers, and continuous learners with a passion for technology. If you thrive on learning by doing, love taking on exciting challenges, and enjoy exploring new territories, then Eko is the place for you.

WHAT WILL YOU DO…

• Lead features end-to-end with full ownership and accountability, from design through deployment.
• Establish monitoring and observability practices that provide real-time visibility into complex workflows and distributed systems.
• Design and build infrastructure for large-scale usage.
• Shape how we rapidly build and release code to production for millions of viewers.

OUR DREAM CANDIDATE…

• Fluency in infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi.
• Proficiency in scripting languages (Bash, Python, or Go) for automation and system management.

Not a must, but we’ll value any experience with these tools we’re already using:

• Familiarity with messaging queues and event-driven architecture (e.g., Kafka, RabbitMQ, Kinesis)
• Proven experience in security best practices and vulnerability management.
• Experience with SQL and modern data stack tools (e.g., MySQL, Postgres, Snowflake, dbt).

We believe in meaningful choice, both at work and in life, and know our workplace only gets better when people can bring their whole selves to the office.

We have offices in NYC and TLV, and an AI-powered Robotic Capture Factory in Bentonville. We’re software developers and spray paint artists, poets and band jammers, fantasy sports fans and financial whizzes, chess-heads and UXperts, pop culture nerds and product managers, data wizards and yoga instructors.
