At Raya, DevSecOps Engineers are passionate about building and maintaining robust, scalable infrastructure that empowers product engineering teams to innovate with confidence. You are excited to work with modern cloud platforms, Kubernetes, and infrastructure-as-code technologies. The ideal candidate will have 6-8+ years of experience with demonstrated growth in previous roles, showing both technical depth and leadership in infrastructure engineering. You will join the Platform Engineering team to help evolve our infrastructure foundation during this period of rapid growth.
As a DevSecOps Engineer, you'll drive the technological advancement of our Infrastructure Platform within Raya. Leveraging best-in-class cloud technologies and container orchestration, your work will be central to delivering a reliable, secure, and scalable foundation that our product teams depend on daily. We prioritize learning and teamwork and love giving people the opportunity to champion infrastructure solutions to complex challenges while growing into the best versions of themselves.
A great candidate is excited to support our infrastructure initiatives across multi-regional environments, Kubernetes orchestration, deployment automation, and observability. With a strong focus on performance optimization, you can design infrastructure that maximizes application efficiency and resource utilization. You're enthusiastic about leveraging AI to enhance your own infrastructure workflows, automate complex tasks, and maximize the scale and impact of your work. You design infrastructure architecture in a scalable, evidence-based manner while understanding the value of working within established systems and thoughtfully introducing improvements. Finally, you believe in Raya's vision of enriching lives by fostering relationships through quality, in-person interactions.
We offer comprehensive medical and dental coverage, $50 a day food delivery budget, equity-based employment, a great culture, learning opportunities, unlimited vacation, 12 weeks paid parental leave, and we pay all employees $1,000 a year to go somewhere in the world that they've never been because of our values of human connection, empathy, and curiosity.
