How to Apply for Senior DevOps Engineer

at Context Labs

🏢 About Context Labs

Context Labs is uniquely positioned at the intersection of climate technology and data infrastructure, specifically focused on accelerating the global energy transition through trusted climate data and high-quality carbon credits. Working here means contributing directly to climate solutions while building robust technical systems that support transparency and credibility in carbon markets.

About This Role

As a Senior DevOps Engineer at Context Labs, you'll be responsible for provisioning and maintaining cloud infrastructure that hosts both internal tools and client-facing products critical to carbon credit verification and trading. This role is impactful because you'll develop cloud-agnostic processes to support the company's expanding infrastructure needs, directly enabling scalable solutions for climate data integrity.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves collaborating with engineering teams to provision and optimize cloud services for carbon credit platforms, developing Terraform modules for infrastructure-as-code deployments, troubleshooting Kubernetes clusters hosting climate data applications, and implementing monitoring solutions to ensure high availability of client-facing products. You'll balance immediate support needs with strategic work on cloud-agnostic tooling to support Context Labs' expanding infrastructure requirements.
