TrueML Products is looking for a high-energy DevOps Engineer I to join our Platform Operations team. This is a foundational role designed for a technologist who is actively forming their technical knowledge and is eager to embrace a broad set of challenges in a cloud-native environment.

Reporting to the DevOps Sr Manager, you will assist in the evolution of our internal developer platform and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) architecture. You will focus on achieving proficiency in our tech stack while executing tasks with precision and efficiency. The ideal candidate is a proactive learner who considers leveraging GenAI and AI code assistants second-nature for accelerating onboarding and completing well-defined tasks, but doesn’t rely on them as a substitute for solving problems.

At TrueML, you won't just be closing tickets; you will be helping to build self-service platforms and tools that reduce developer cognitive load and enable our teams to deploy at increased velocity. You will be an integral part of a team that thrives on solving complex distributed systems challenges and maintains an impact-focused mindset. 

What You'll Do:

• Build small to medium-sized infrastructure components using Terraform and AWS.

• Maintain and debug CI/CD workflows (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD) to ensure reliable build-and-deploy cycles.

• Learn to troubleshoot and resolve issues in containerized environments, including Kubernetes pods and EKS networking bottlenecks.

• Use AI code assistants (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Claude) to accelerate onboarding and complete well-defined automation tasks. 

• Validate AI-generated code for correctness and style according to team standards.

• Participate in the on-call rotation and assist in responding to system alerts.

• Use logging and observability tools to find relevant information during troubleshooting.

• Take responsibility for testing and documenting your code, ensuring bugs are fixed across dev, staging, and production environments.

• Actively participate in team ceremonies, including sprint planning and daily standups.

• Communicate the status of ongoing projects and clearly describe implementation details to the broader team.

• Partner with senior engineers to understand how your work impacts customers and helps the business scale.

Who You Are:

• You possess a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

• You have 1–2 years of relevant experience in DevOps, SRE, or Software Engineering.

• You are familiar with at least one programming language (Python, Go, or Bash) and basic Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) practices.

• You have general knowledge of cloud engineering (AWS) and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes).

• You demonstrate a commitment to self-improvement and the "grit" necessary to follow through on challenging new tasks.

We are a dynamic group of people who are subject matter experts with a passion for change. Our teams are crafting solutions to big problems every day. If you’re looking for an opportunity to do impactful work, join TrueML and make a difference.
