DevOps Engineer

Careerscape is recruiting on behalf of our client, a fast-growing technology/SaaS company in Austin, TX, for a DevOps Engineer to help scale and harden the infrastructure powering their platform. This is a hybrid role for someone who thrives at the intersection of software engineering and systems reliability, building the CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and automation that let product teams ship quickly and confidently. Day to day, you will spend time designing pipelines, tuning Kubernetes clusters, and chasing down the root cause of a flaky deploy or a subtle production alert. You will pair closely with software engineers to make delivery faster and safer, and with the wider infrastructure team to keep AWS and GCP environments secure, observable, and cost-efficient. People who thrive here are pragmatic automators who enjoy owning reliability end to end, communicate clearly under pressure, and take genuine satisfaction in turning manual toil into repeatable, self-service systems. COMPENSATION The salary range for this role is $120,000 - $160,000 per year, based on experience and qualifications.
