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
