  • Develop and enhance CI/CD pipelines for efficient, reliable, and consistent deployment processes (GitHub Actions and similar tools)
  • Continuously identify and implement infrastructure improvements across the entire product ecosystem
  • Architect and support serverless solutions using AWS Lambda, ECS Fargate, and event-driven architecture components
  • Establish comprehensive monitoring, alerting, and logging frameworks to ensure system reliability and visibility
  • Manage infrastructure-as-code implementations using CloudFormation, Terraform, and related tools
  • Partner with development teams to determine infrastructure requirements, deployment approaches, and operational toolsets
  • Oversee secrets management and identity systems utilizing AWS IAM and similar platforms
  • Maintain compliance with security and privacy standards, including access controls, encryption protocols, and audit mechanisms
  • Resolve production incidents across all service layers with a focus on rapid response and thorough post-incident analysis
  • Create and maintain automated backup, disaster recovery, and failover systems
  • Research and adopt emerging DevOps methodologies and technologies to enhance platform performance and reliability
Required Qualifications
  • 10+ years of software engineering background with 6+ years focused on DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or Infrastructure Engineering
  • Demonstrated experience managing production environments with comprehensive infrastructure responsibilities
  • Extensive AWS expertise, including compute, storage, networking, and identity management services
  • Practical experience with serverless technologies (AWS Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge, API Gateway, ECS Fargate)
  • Advanced skills in Docker and container orchestration platforms (Kubernetes, ECS, GKE)
  • Proficiency with CI/CD platforms such as GitHub Actions, CircleCI, ArgoCD, or Jenkins
  • Strong scripting capabilities in Bash, Python, or Go for automation and tooling development
  • Experience with observability solutions (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack)
  • Solid understanding of network design, security frameworks, and zero-trust access architectures
  • Knowledge of secrets management systems and infrastructure-level access policy enforcement
  • Exceptional troubleshooting and root cause analysis abilities
  • Strong collaborative and communication skills across diverse technical and business teams
  • Continuous improvement mindset with focus on automation, optimization, and security enhancement

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
