Senior SRE / DevOps Engineer
About the Role
Architect the Future of Tech Stack Intelligence
Catio is building the world’s first AI-powered Copilot for Tech Architecture—equipping CTOs, architects, and developers with a data-driven platform to evaluate, plan, and evolve their tech stacks with unparalleled intelligence. We're backed by top-tier VCs and led by industry experts, and we're looking for builders who want to define a new category.
We are seeking a seasoned Senior SRE / DevOps Engineer to join our foundational team. You will be instrumental in architecting the operational backbone of our platform, establishing the core of our AWS-based cloud operations and infrastructure-as-code strategy.
Your Mission
At Catio, SRE is not about tickets and manual operations; it's about engineering excellence. You will be a software engineer who builds the platforms, tools, and automation that enable reliability and velocity at scale. Your focus will be on engineering resilience into our systems and creating self-service infrastructure that empowers our entire engineering team to innovate quickly and securely.
This is a unique opportunity to shape the infrastructure of a deeply technical product built for engineering leaders. You will:
- Design, implement, and administer a secure, scalable, and cost-effective AWS infrastructure that serves as the bedrock of our AI platform.
- Develop and champion our infrastructure-as-code strategy using tools like Terraform and Helm to manage and evolve our cloud environments with precision and repeatability.
- Define and deploy sophisticated observability pipelines and dashboards across metrics, logs, and traces, with a preference for Splunk, to provide deep insights into system health and performance.
- Author clear, concise internal documentation and architectural decision records (ADRs) that become the blueprint for our infrastructure.
- Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to ensure our infrastructure capabilities are a catalyst, not a constraint, for product innovation.
- Operate with a high degree of autonomy, proposing and executing on scalable, secure, and production-ready solutions that anticipate future needs.
