Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. NewtonX is hiring a Senior DevOps Engineer to own and improve the infrastructure platform supporting its engineering teams. The role focuses on reliability, CI/CD, observability, infrastructure as code, autoscaling, security, data anonymization, and cross-team infrastructure decisions.
Responsibilities
- Improve infrastructure reliability: Own GKE workloads, Cloud Run services, and the shared platform layer. Identify single points of failure and eliminate them before they become incidents
- Evolve CI/CD pipelines: Maintain and harden shared GitHub Actions workflows used by all engineering teams. Supply-chain security, EOL runtime upgrades, reusable composites
- Build and operationalize observability: Metrics, logs, alerting, and on-call workflows using Datadog and Prometheus. Design dashboards that surface problems, not noise
- Drive infrastructure-as-code standards: Write, review, and refactor Terraform across all environments. Set the bar for what good IaC looks like at NewtonX
- Improve event-driven autoscaling: Advance KEDA with application-aware custom metrics per workload — moving beyond CPU thresholds to metrics that actually reflect load
- Harden security posture: IAM least-privilege, Workload Identity Federation, SOC2 evidence, Cloudflare Zero Trust, and CI/CD supply-chain controls
- Roll out data anonymization: Implement and scale data anonymization tooling across dev and staging environments to support safe PR deployments and data replication workflows
- Collaborate across teams: Architecture reviews and direct partnership with engineering teams on infrastructure decisions
Skills
- Minimum 5 years in relevant technology roles (DevOps, Platform Engineering, or SRE)
- At least 1 year in a Senior DevOps position, or 2+ years as a mid-level engineer with demonstrated ownership of production systems
- Strong hands-on experience with GCP and production Kubernetes environments. You've operated these at scale, not just deployed to them
- Solid infrastructure-as-code knowledge, writing, reviewing, and refactoring independently. Not just running terraform apply
- Strong observability knowledge: Metrics, tracing, logging, and alerting in production. Experience designing on-call workflows and incident runbooks
- Strong security knowledge: IAM least-privilege, identity federation, secret management, network controls
- CI/CD and automation: Building and maintaining pipelines and reusable deployment workflows. Scripting proficiency for tooling and automation
- Familiarity with compliance frameworks (SOC2 a plus)
- Demonstrated architectural decision-making that significantly improved company security, scalability, and performance
- ArgoCD or Flux
- Auth0 or similar IdP: SAML, M2M, JWT
- Database management( e.g. PostgreSQL)
- Experience with Ingress Controllers or API Gateways (e.g., Kong, NGINX, Istio)
Benefits
- Equity
- Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance
- 401k match with immediate vesting
- Generous paid time off, holidays, and parental leave
- A diverse, collaborative, and positive culture where we invest in and celebrate each other’s success
- Flexible work environment, including happy hours, team projects, and retreats
