DevOps Platform Engineer

About IP Fabric Join a pioneering force in network automation! At IP Fabric, we enable people to uncover the truth about their networks. Built by network professionals and industry experts, our innovative solutions are transforming how enterprises manage their networks. As a post-Series B company, we're expanding rapidly across Europe, the U.S., and beyond. About the Role We are looking for a hands-on DevOps Engineer – Platform to join our Platform team and help evolve the foundations of the IP Fabric product. Our Platform team is focused on making the product more stable, elegant to develop, performant, and secure. The work sits at the intersection of software engineering, Linux, CI/CD, containers, quality, and developer experience. Over the coming months, some of our biggest challenges include decomposing parts of our monolithic application into cleaner modules or services, modernizing deployment from a Debian package-based model toward containers, improving build and testing pipelines, and creating a much better local-development experience. This is not a traditional infrastructure-operations DevOps position. You will work directly on the product platform and the engineering systems surrounding it. We are hiring at either L2 or L3. Both levels are hands-on. The difference is primarily the scope you can own independently. What You'll Do Build and improve product-platform components and tooling using Python and TypeScriptHelp evolve the application from a monolithic structure toward cleaner modules and/or servicesContribute to the design and implementation of our next-generation deployment modelHelp move the product from Debian package-oriented deployment toward an appropriate container-based approachBuild, improve, and troubleshoot CI/CD pipelinesImprove build and testing infrastructureMake local product development easier and more reliableWork with Kubernetes and containerized workloadsTroubleshoot issues across application, runtime, container, Linux, and CI/CD boundariesImprove platform stability, performance, maintainability, and developer experienceParticipate in technical discussions and code reviewsCollaborate closely with engineers across the product organizationApply good engineering practices around testing, observability, maintainability, and software qualityContribute to software hardening and secure engineering practices where appropriate L2 / L3 Expectations L2 At L2, you should be able to independently deliver a defined technical task end to end. Once the task and expected outcome are clear, you can determine the implementation, investigate unknowns, write and test the solution, troubleshoot issues, and drive the change through completion without close technical supervision. L3 At L3, you should additionally be comfortable working from a broader technical goal. Once familiar with the platform, you can identify what needs to change, break broader goals into concrete work, propose solutions, explain tradeoffs, and lead implementation. You are also expected to contribute meaningfully to technical decisions led by other engineers.
