Senior DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer
Onsite, El Segundo Area
A fast-growing, venture-backed deep tech company is looking for a senior-level DevOps or Site Reliability Engineer to take ownership of core infrastructure, automation, and developer tooling. This is a highly hands-on role suited to engineers who enjoy working close to the metal, writing real code, and supporting complex, production-critical systems.
You will be joining a technically ambitious environment where software, infrastructure, and physical systems intersect. The focus is on building reliable, scalable platforms from the ground up rather than maintaining legacy processes.
What you’ll be working on
• Designing, building, and maintaining infrastructure across cloud and on-prem environments
• Owning containerisation and orchestration using Kubernetes and Docker
• Building and optimising CI/CD pipelines and internal developer tooling
• Writing production-grade code to automate infrastructure, workflows, and platform operations
• Supporting high-performance simulation, analysis, and internal engineering platforms
• Improving system reliability, monitoring, and observability as the platform scales
What they’re looking for
• Strong background in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering at a senior level
• Ability to code confidently, ideally in Python or Go, with an engineering-first mindset
• Experience building tools, not just configuring services
• Deep understanding of Linux systems and modern infrastructure practices
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, low-process environment where you may wear multiple hats
Nice to have
• Background in highly technical or engineering-led organisations
• Experience supporting compute-heavy workloads or simulation environments
• Exposure to regulated or safety-critical industries
• Interest in physics, hardware, or complex systems
Working style and setup
• Full-time, onsite role based in the Greater Los Angeles area
• Small, highly technical team with a strong bias toward ownership and impact
• Best suited to engineers who enjoy autonomy and solving hard problems end to end
Compensation
• Competitive base salary depending on experience, plus equity and benefits and stock options.
