Senior DevOps Engineer

We're making our first dedicated investment in DevOps at InfoTrust, and we're looking for the person who will build that discipline from the ground up. Today, deployment, reliability, cloud infrastructure, and security are shared across our experienced engineering teams alongside their product work. As our founding DevOps hire, you'll bring that work together under a single owner and a clear standard defining what great DevOps looks like at InfoTrust, hands-on, with no playbook to inherit and no team to lean on. If you want a finished playbook handed to you, this isn't the role. If you want to be the person who writes it, this is a great opportunity.

InfoTrust is a global, privately-owned products and solutions company dedicated to unlocking the power of data to drive marketing performance and business growth. We specialize in digital analytics, media enablement, and privacy-centric solutions that help Fortune 100–500 companies and the world's largest brands optimize their marketing strategies. Our culture is built on passion, ownership, diversity, trust, respect, and continuous growth, values that have earned us multiple “Best Places to Work” awards, including a Great Place to Work certification 7 years in a row and recognition as the #1 place to work in Ohio.

• Reliability & Incident Response – Own the health of our production systems. Define what reliability means for each product, build the observability to catch issues early, and establish incident response – ownership, escalation, and on-call – so outages are rare, short, and well understood.
• Delivery & Automation – Own how code moves safely and repeatably to production. Build the CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, and release automation that let teams ship quickly without sacrificing stability.
• Cloud Infrastructure & Cost – Own our cloud footprint across AWS and Google Cloud. Contribute to the architecture, capacity, and cost decisions that keep our products performant as they scale, and manage cloud spend deliberately.
• Data Reliability & Operations – Own the reliability of our data layer. Keep production databases reliable and performant, ensure backups are automated and validated through real restores, and make schema and data migrations routine – executed without downtime or data loss.
• Security & Compliance – Own the security posture of our infrastructure. Strengthen our cloud environments, partner with our external penetration-testing provider on ongoing security work, and serve as R&D's technical point person for SOC 2, implementing and maintaining the controls that fall to our team while Legal leads the broader compliance program.

• You have 5+ years in DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering, including having built or substantially matured a function – ideally as a founding or early DevOps hire, or as the person who brought order to an environment that didn't have it yet.
• You have deep AWS experience, plus solid working knowledge of Google Cloud, and you've owned production infrastructure, networking, and cost in AWS at a senior level.
• You have CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code mastery – you've built deployment pipelines and codified infrastructure that teams actually adopt, and you can bring standards where there are none.
• You have production reliability and incident ownership experience – you've owned uptime, built observability, and been the person responsible when something breaks.
• You have database and data-layer operations experience – owning production database reliability, automated and tested backups, and schema/data migrations executed without downtime or data loss.
• You have hands-on cloud security experience – identity and access management (IAM), secrets management, and vulnerability remediation – and you've worked with compliance frameworks like SOC 2.
• You're comfortable with ambiguity and do your best work in semi-structured environments where you get to impose the structure, rather than being paralyzed by a lack of instruction.
• You want to build a function, not maintain one, and you'd rather own the whole surface – reliability, delivery, cloud, data, and security – than a narrow slice of one of them.

• You have experience in MarTech, analytics, or data-infrastructure companies, or with large-scale data pipelines.

• You want a finished playbook on day one – you'll be writing it, often while things are still moving underneath you.
• You expect a specialist's narrow lane – this is a broad role, and reliability, delivery, cloud, data, and security all sit with you.
• You'd rather security be someone else's job.
• You prefer big-company process and consensus over making good calls with imperfect information and limited existing structure.
• You'd rather specialize in a single cloud than operate fluently across AWS and Google Cloud.

Reports To: Engineering leadership on the R&D team

Scope: A hands-on individual-contributor role. You'll define the function and do the work – there is no existing DevOps team to inherit, and no direct reports to manage

On-Call: As our founding DevOps hire, you'll participate directly in the on-call rotation, including the one you design and improve. As the function grows, on-call is shared across the team

Partners With: Our external penetration-testing provider on ongoing security work, and the Legal-led SOC 2 program as R&D's technical point person

Autonomy: High. You'll operate with a broad mandate and room to set direction where structure doesn't exist yet
