About the Role

~1 min read

Gabb is seeking a hands-on DevOps leader to help scale and operate our infrastructure. This is a player/coach role where you’ll spend most of your time building, improving, and supporting our platform while leading a small team of engineers. We’re looking for someone who can quickly assess our environment and drive practical improvements.

You will own infrastructure reliability, CI/CD, observability, incident response, and cost management. This role is deeply hands-on and includes participating in on-call and actively debugging production issues. You’ll also help guide a small DevOps team and improve how we operate day-to-day.

You’ll partner closely with engineering and product teams to support business needs, focusing on execution, reliability, and continuous improvement — not a purely strategic or management role.

-Own infrastructure reliability and uptime across all environments — development, staging, and production

-Design and implement scalable, resilient systems on AWS that support continued customer and device growth

-Manage multi-regional or highly available infrastructure with clear SLAs, failover patterns, and capacity planning

-Identify and remediate security risks in infrastructure and deployment pipelines in partnership with engineering and security teams

-Build and maintain CI/CD systems and GitOps workflows that enable product teams to deploy with speed and confidence

-Improve developer tooling, deployment pipelines, and environment management to reduce operational burden on product engineering teams

Manage Kubernetes and containerized workloads; drive infrastructure-as-code practices using Terraform, Helm, and related tooling

-Build and enhance observability practices — monitoring, logging, tracing, and alerting — that provide clear visibility into system health, performance, and risk

-Establish and lead incident response practices including on-call structures, root cause analysis, and post-incident improvement processes

-Provide leadership with regular reporting and dashboards on infrastructure health, performance trends, and cost

-Define and execute the infrastructure and platform roadmap aligned with company growth and product needs

-Establish operational processes, runbooks, and documentation that increase reliability, consistency, and knowledge transfer across the team

-Drive infrastructure cost management — build visibility into cloud spend, identify waste, and align resource usage with business goals

-Support new product initiatives with scalable platform solutions, ensuring DevOps considerations are embedded early in architecture decisions

-Lead, mentor, and grow a high-performing DevOps team — foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, and operational excellence

-Set team direction, define roles and responsibilities, and build clear accountability structures

-Collaborate with engineering, product, and executive leadership to translate business needs into technical initiatives and priorities

-6+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering, with at least 2+ years leading teams

-Demonstrated track record of building or significantly maturing a DevOps function — not just operating within an established one

-Experience operating and scaling systems to millions of users or connected devices

-Strong experience with AWS and cloud-based infrastructure at production scale

-Experience with Kubernetes and containerized workloads in production environments

-Expertise in infrastructure as code (Terraform, Helm) and CI/CD pipeline design (GitOps workflows preferred)

-Strong command of observability practices: metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting systems

-Experience managing multi-regional or highly available production systems with defined SLAs

-Experience with infrastructure cost optimization — not just monitoring spend, but actively managing it

-A builder — you assess what exists, identify what’s working and what isn’t, and construct the systems and processes needed to operate at the next level

-A strong communicator who can translate infrastructure risk and technical trade-offs into business language for non-technical stakeholders

-Disciplined about process without being rigid — you build frameworks that create consistency while leaving room for the team to move fast

-Comfortable with ambiguity and ownership in a fast-moving environment where the infrastructure roadmap will evolve as the business grows

-Genuinely interested in Gabb’s mission and the responsibility that comes with building infrastructure for a product families depend on

-Mission-driven company protecting kids and making a real difference for families

-Competitive compensation commensurate with experience

-Generous insurance coverage (up to 100% of premiums based on tenure)

-401(k) with employer match

-Unlimited PTO and flexible scheduling where the role allows

-Stock options

-Pet insurance

-An energetic, collaborative culture — and the best coworkers around
