The platform dramatically reduces build times and infrastructure costs by optimizing compute, memory, storage, and networking through a low-friction integration into existing developer workflows.
As a DevOps Engineer, you will own the reliability, performance, and scalability of the infrastructure powering every customer build, test, and CI job on the Namespace platform. You'll be responsible for the end-to-end infrastructure stack that enables the platform's core value proposition: making builds 5x faster and more cost-effective than traditional cloud providers.

- Driving capacity planning and cost efficiency initiatives
- Collaborating with product engineers to ship new capabilities quickly and safely
- Participating in on-call rotations and incident response

REQUIREMENTS:
- Strong engineering fundamentals and hands-on experience operating production infrastructure at scale
- Deep knowledge of Linux, networking, and storage
- Experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, or similar infrastructure-as-code tools
- Proficiency in Go, Python, or similar languages; automation is paramount
- Deep experience with observability tooling and on-call rotation participation
