Autena Inc. - DevOps Engineer
Requirements
• You've owned production infrastructure at a small company. (Hard requirement.) You were the person who got paged, and the person who fixed the thing that caused the page — not one specialist layer inside a large platform org. • You've owned production infrastructure at a small company. • Deep on AWS and infrastructure as code. Containers, CI/CD, IaC — plus the judgment to know what a seed-stage company should not build yet. • Deep on AWS and infrastructure as code. • Observability is a craft to you, not a vendor. You've instrumented systems where the interesting failures were the quiet ones. • Observability is a craft to you, not a vendor. • You've been close to enterprise security review. SOC 2, access control, secrets, data handling. You know what buyers ask and how to be ready before they ask. • You've been close to enterprise security review. • Pragmatic about scale. You right-size for today with an honest read on what breaks at 10x, and you know the difference between necessary foundations and premature infrastructure.
Benefits
• A cap table most early-stage companies would envy. Raised at the top quartile of seed-stage rounds by size — 36+ months of runway — from the seed investors who were early in Palantir, Databricks, Anduril, GitLab, Retool, Lyft, Square, DoorDash, Superhuman, and Ironclad. • A cap table most early-stage companies would envy. • Real traction, right now. Live in production with design partners, and the data flywheel is already turning. Demand isn't the bottleneck — execution is. The market is tens of thousands of enterprises, each worth seven figures a year. • Real traction, right now. • Founded by multi-time exited operators. The founding team has built and sold multiple software companies and spent years up close with dozens more. You're joining people who know how this is actually done — not learning it alongside them. • Founded by multi-time exited operators. • The seat • The seat • You own how we run. Deploys, environments, reliability, observability, cost, and the security posture that lets enterprises say yes. • Here's why this isn't a standard platform seat. The workloads are strange. Agentic systems are long-running where web services are fast, bursty where traffic is smooth, expensive per unit of work in a way that makes cost an architectural concern rather than a finance one, and non-deterministic in a way that breaks most of what "healthy" means on a dashboard. A green status page can sit on top of a system quietly producing wrong answers. Standard observability tells you the call succeeded. It won't tell you the output was garbage. • The workloads are strange. • Figuring out what reliability even means for this class of system — then building the tooling to enforce it — is genuinely unsolved. That's the seat. • Infrastructure as code, environments, and deploys that a small team can move fast on without breaking production. • Infrastructure as code, environments, and deploys • Observability built for probabilistic systems — tracing across async and long-running work, and the harder problem of surfacing quality regressions, not just failures. • Observability built for probabilistic systems • Cost and performance as first-class engineering constraints. • Cost and performance • The security and compliance foundation enterprise buyers diligence before they sign. • The security and compliance foundation
