About Us

We are a well-funded stealth startup on a mission to solve a fundamental, real-world problem that affects millions. Backed by visionary investors and led by a team of serial entrepreneurs, we are building a first-of-its-kind, AI-driven platform from the ground up. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and processing data at an immense scale, we are creating a new paradigm for how complex systems operate.

This is a rare opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a company with massive potential, shape its technical direction, and have an outsized impact on our success.

  • Design & Manage Cloud Infrastructure: Architect, build, and maintain our AWS infrastructure from scratch using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles with Terraform.
  • Automate Everything: Develop and manage robust CI/CD pipelines for our applications, microservices, and data platforms, enabling rapid and safe release cycles.
  • Embrace Containerization: Work extensively with Docker and container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes (EKS) to deploy and manage our core services.
  • Champion Security & Reliability: Embed security into every layer of our infrastructure. You will own cloud security, including IAM, network design, and vulnerability management.
  • Monitor & Optimize: Build and maintain comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting systems using tools like CloudWatch, Prometheus, and Grafana to ensure high availability and performance.
  • Collaborate & Innovate: Work directly with software, ML, and data engineers to understand their needs and provide the world-class infrastructure and tooling required for their success.
  • (Bonus) Pioneer MLOps & Data Platforms: Contribute to building and maintaining the infrastructure that supports our Machine Learning and Data Engineering workflows, helping to streamline model training and data processing at scale.

What You'll Bring (Qualifications)

  • Experience: 4-6 years of professional experience in a DevOps, SRE, or Cloud Engineering role, with a proven track record of building systems from the ground up.
  • AWS Expertise: Deep, hands-on experience with core AWS services such as EC2, S3, VPC, RDS, IAM, and Route 53.
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Strong proficiency with Terraform is a must.
  • CI/CD Mastery: Proven experience building and managing CI/CD pipelines using tools like GitLab CI, Jenkins, or AWS CodePipeline.
  • Container Skills: Solid understanding of Docker and hands-on experience with Kubernetes (EKS).
  • Scripting Prowess: Ability to automate complex tasks using scripting languages like Python or Bash.
  • Strong Fundamentals: A solid grasp of networking concepts (TCP/IP, DNS, VPNs, Firewalls) and Linux system administration.
  • Communication: Excellent communication skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative startup environment.
  • Experience building and maintaining infrastructure for Machine Learning (MLOps) using tools like AWS SageMaker, Kubeflow, or MLflow.
  • Experience supporting Data Engineering platforms, including knowledge of ETL/ELT pipelines, data lakes, and orchestration tools like Apache Airflow.
  • Knowledge of monitoring tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or the ELK stack.

Why You'll Love Working With Us

  • Top-of-Market Salary: We offer a highly competitive, salary-focused compensation package designed to attract the best talent in the region.
  • Excellent Work-Life Balance: We operate on a results-oriented basis with standard hours from 8 AM to 4 PM. We believe in working smart and respecting personal time.
  • Foundational Impact: Join as a core member of a well-funded, high-growth global startup and leave your mark on the company's technology, culture, and success.
  • Flexible Work Model: Enjoy the benefits of remote work now, with a transition to a hybrid model later. Our plan includes 1-2 collaborative meetups every two weeks in our Islamabad office to strategize, innovate, and connect as a team.
