Sayari is entering a new phase of technical scale, driven by a wave of AI-native applications and a strategic shift in our data architecture. We are looking for a Devops Engineer who is a platform builder at heart. In this role, you will be an architect and engineer for our Kubernetes-first platform. You will initially play a critical role in supporting the infrastructure for our new AI driven product. This is a hands-on, high-autonomy role for an engineer who loves to automate complex problems and use modern AI tools to accelerate the velocity. JOB RESPONSIBILITIES Architect the K8s Ecosystem: Lead the evolution of our Kubernetes clusters, ensuring they are optimized for the high-compute demands of AI-native applications and LLM workloads. Evolve our CI/CD ecosystem (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD) into a seamless, self-service platform designed specifically for the rapid deployment of microservices and AI-driven apps. Support AI Velocity: Ensure our infrastructure can keep pace with the high-velocity creation of AI tools and applications, managing segmentation, dependency connections, and compute scaling efficiently. AI-Enhanced Engineering: Act as a force multiplier by using modern AI tools to accelerate coding, debugging, and process automation. Automate FinOps Governance: Go beyond monthly reports by implementing "governance-as-code." Write automated policies and scripts that actively manage resource lifecycles, tag compliance, and prevent wasteful cloud spend before it happens. Advance Infrastructure as Code: Manage and scale our IaC (Terraform), with modular, reusable patterns that allow developers to provision what they need within guardrails. SKILLS & EXPERIENCE Required: Deep production experience with GCP or AWS. You understand how to architect for resilience and security in a multi-cloud environment. Expert-level proficiency with Terraform. You don't just run plans; you write modular, scalable code from scratch. Hands-on experience building CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions and managing deployments using tools such as ArgoCD or Flux. Strong scripting/coding ability in Bash and Python. Proven experience automating cloud cost controls. You understand how to implement cost attribution strategies and automated cleanup policies. Experience provisioning and securing Snowflake environments from an infrastructure perspective. Experience using AI tools to accelerate coding, debugging, process automation, and documentation. Familiarity with Site Reliability Engineering principles, including defining SLIs/SLOs, managing error budgets, and structured incident response. Preferred: Experience with AI/LLM infrastructure or GPU workloads. Familiarity with distributed data stores (Apache Cassandra, JanusGraph) or orchestration tools (Cadence). Experience with tools such as Terragrunt and Atlantis for advanced IaC workflows. Familiarity with tools such as Elastic Cloud or Datadog for monitoring and observability. Experience building or managing Internal Developer Portals.
