Pelico is an AI-driven manufacturing orchestration platform trusted by industrial leaders like Airbus, Boeing, and Safran. Founded in 2019 and backed by General Catalyst and 83North, the company has raised $72M and is growing 300% year-over-year across 15+ countries.
As a Senior DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer, you will architect the orchestration layer that powers Pelico's global SaaS infrastructure and highly restricted, air-gapped enterprise environments. You'll operate at the intersection of system architecture, product engineering, and field operations, solving complex technical challenges that define the future of AI-driven industrial infrastructure.
Key responsibilities:
- Design and improve Pelico's deployment architecture across Kubernetes, Docker, single VM, air-gapped environments, and private cloud using Terraform, Helm, and Ansible.
- Create a one-click deployment experience by standardizing installation, upgrades, and operational tooling so enterprise customers can deploy reliably with minimal manual intervention.
- Build monitoring, diagnostics, self-remediation capabilities, and operational runbooks enabling customer IT teams to operate Pelico independently.
- Participate in production on-call rotation, troubleshoot production incidents, and drive continuous improvement through operational excellence and automation.
- Standardize CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure practices, and deployment workflows to improve engineering productivity, security, and reliability across the company.
- Support enterprise and federal growth initiatives around GovCloud, FedRAMP readiness, and deployments for regulated aerospace and defense customers.
- Explore agentic engineering and AI-assisted workflows to automate infrastructure operations, deployment, diagnostics, and security.
Pelico offers hybrid flexibility with offices in Paris (75011) and Miami. Benefits include stock options for all employees, premium health coverage (up to 70% covered), €10/day meal allowance (50% covered), 50% public transportation support, and ClassPass wellness access.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 5+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or Infrastructure Engineering roles in high-growth or production environments.
- Strong experience building and operating cloud and on-premise infrastructure using Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Helm, and Ansible.
- Deep understanding of CI/CD, Infrastructure as Code, observability, and modern deployment practices.
- Solid software engineering background, ideally with Java, and an automation-first mindset.
- Comfortable participating in on-call rotation and troubleshooting production incidents.
- Ability to operate in ambiguity and solve complex infrastructure challenges without waiting for perfect specifications.
- Strong communication skills to collaborate across Engineering, Product, and customer IT teams.
- Active embrace of AI tools as part of daily work; curiosity about new possibilities and quick adoption of AI-assisted workflows.
- Hands-on experience with AI-assisted workflows for coding, infrastructure automation, troubleshooting, or engineering productivity.
NICE TO HAVE:
- Experience supporting enterprise or industrial environments (manufacturing, aerospace, defense, or supply chain).
- Exposure to security, compliance, or regulated infrastructure environments (GovCloud, FedRAMP, air-gapped deployments).
- Experience in customer-facing or forward-deployed engineering roles.
