What are the responsibilities and job description for the DevOps Engineer position at Soraban?
We’re a post-PMF B2B startup with ARR growing exponentially every month. With customer usage exploding, we’ve reached a tipping point where we need a dedicated DevOps Engineer to own our infrastructure and reliability. Our current infra stack is a mix of Heroku and AWS, but we’re planning to migrate off Heroku this year due to scaling limitations and cost inefficiencies.
This role is crucial in freeing up engineers from DevOps tasks, optimizing infrastructure to reduce spend, and ensuring our systems are reliable, scalable, and secure.
We’re building a team in San Francisco, CA and Tempe, AZ locations.
What You’ll Own & Drive
Instead of a cover letter, please send over a link or details of past projects that show your experience and impact.
Important Note: Instead of a cover letter, please send over a link or anything that my team and I can review to quickly figure out if we have a fit.
Please do not reach out if you are a recruiter, thanks!
