About

As Irregular's Senior DevOps Engineer, you will play a critical role in shaping our infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and operational foundations. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role with real influence over how the company builds, deploys, and operates its systems in production.

Responsibilities

• Own and evolve Irregular's cloud infrastructure, with a strong focus on scalability, security, and reliability
• Design, build, and maintain end-to-end CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows
• Lead and continuously improve containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code and automation frameworks (e.g., Terraform)
• Own production readiness: availability, monitoring, logging, alerting, and incident response
• Work closely with engineering and research teams to support development, testing, and production needs
• Drive improvements in system performance, reliability, and security posture
• Take part in - and often lead architectural decisions and long-term infrastructure planning
• Act as a key operational owner in a fast-growing startup, setting best practices and standards

You'll be part of a mission that helps the world prepare for and mitigate emerging AI risks by building systems that evaluate and improve the security of frontier AI models.

• 5+ years of hands-on experience as a DevOps / Infrastructure Engineer in production environments
• Strong, hands-on experience with AWS (architecture, networking, security, and cost awareness)
• Proven experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) in production
• Hands-on experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions or similar)
• Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code and automation (e.g., Terraform)
• Ability to take end-to-end ownership and operate independently in an early-stage, high-ambiguity environment

At Irregular, you'll have high ownership and real influence over infrastructure and architectural decisions. You'll work alongside a strong, deeply technical team tackling complex, real-world problems, with significant opportunity to grow as the company scales and the platform evolves.

Irregular is building at high velocity and operating in a highly dynamic environment. They move fast, iterate quickly, and operate with a high bar for ownership and execution.
