SynthBee

SynthBee was founded to build safe, scalable, and reliable computing intelligence to amplify human innovation.

We focus on applying our novel and proprietary SynthBee computing intelligence platform to complex, mission critical systems across a range of sectors including healthcare, defense, aerospace, automotive, robotics, engineering/manufacturing systems, security, climate, and media.

Our customers prioritize reliability, accuracy, transparency, human control, visibility, traceability, intellectual property, data integrity, data protection, resilience, safety, and ethics.

We are creating a safe and useful alternative to AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). The SynthBee platform is being built to work with people and teams across the world to help solve the most important scientific, engineering, design, and creative challenges and endeavors.

SynthBee is seeking a highly experienced Senior DevOps Engineer to lead the implementation, optimization, and support of our growing cloud infrastructure.

• Manage cloud resources such as EC2, S3, IAM, VPC (AWS); Compute Engine (GCP); VM Scale Sets and VNets (Azure)

• Integrate cloud-native tools like AWS CloudTrail, Azure Monitor, and Google Cloud Logging

• Oversee resource tagging, infrastructure naming conventions, and cost allocation across environments

2. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) & Automation

• Build and manage infrastructure using Terraform (multi-cloud), AWS CDK, and/or Pulumi

• Standardize infrastructure provisioning across cloud platforms for repeatable and auditable deployments

• Automate the creation of environments (Dev, QA, Stage, Prod) across cloud accounts

• Leverage CI/CD pipelines for IaC validation, compliance checks, and testing

3. CI/CD & Release Engineering

• Design and manage CI/CD pipelines for various deployment targets

• Automate builds, tests, container packaging, and deployments across hybrid and multi-cloud platforms

• Enforce release engineering best practices such as gated releases, canary deployments, and rollback strategies

4. Monitoring, Observability & Alerting

• Implement centralized monitoring using tools like Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, and GCP Operations Suite

• Define and maintain service-level objectives (SLOs) and ensure systems meet performance benchmarks

• Manage incident detection and alerting pipelines to reduce MTTR and improve reliability

5. Security, Compliance & Governance

• Apply security best practices across AWS, Azure, and GCP accounts (IAM policies, MFA, encryption, etc.)

• Conduct regular audits on access controls, logging, and cloud configuration compliance

• Align with frameworks such as NIST 800-171, CMMC, 48 CFR, DFARS 252.204-7012, or FedRAMP (as applicable)

• Support implementation of cross-cloud security policies and disaster recovery plans

6. Cloud Cost Optimization & Usage Monitoring

• Use cost analysis tools such as AWS Cost Explorer, Azure Cost Management, or GCP Billing

• Identify savings opportunities (e.g., reserved instances, autoscaling, workload shifting)

• Build dashboards to monitor cost trends across multiple cloud accounts

7. Support, Troubleshooting & Operations

• Serve as escalation point for production and infrastructure incidents

• Troubleshoot issues across network, compute, and application layers

• Collaborate with cloud vendor support (AWS, Azure, GCP) to resolve escalated incidents

8. Knowledge Transfer & Team Enablement

• Document designs, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and decision rationale

• Mentor junior DevOps engineers and developers on DevOps principles

• Lead internal workshops or onboarding sessions on CI/CD pipelines, cloud tools, and infrastructure workflows

Qualifications

Required

• 5+ years of experience as a DevOps or Infrastructure Engineer in cloud-native or hybrid cloud environments

• Strong hands-on experience with AWS infrastructure and services

• Familiarity with Azure and/or GCP environments (even partial exposure is acceptable)

• Expertise in infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and container orchestration

• Strong scripting skills and Linux fundamentals

• Proven ability to manage incident response and postmortems

Preferred

• AWS certifications (e.g., Solutions Architect, DevOps Engineer), Azure/GCP certifications a plus

• Experience in compliance-driven or regulated environments

• Familiarity with distributed systems, edge compute, and global infrastructure strategies

• Startup or high-growth team experience
