Xora Innovation is hiring a Senior DevOps/Infrastructure Engineer at the founding-team level for a portfolio company. You will be responsible for designing and owning the infrastructure for a next-generation platform that unifies AI, computational modeling, and advanced R&D workflows. This is your chance to build something with long-term weight as part of a small, focused team.
What You'll Do
- Lead the design and implementation of infrastructure using Terraform across cloud and hybrid setups.
- Build and administer VMs and containers using Docker and Kubernetes, ensuring rigorous security and permission models.
- Design effective CI/CD pipelines and implement GitOps practices to accelerate development velocity.
- Establish best practices for IAM, secrets management, and overall infrastructure hygiene.
- Implement a full observability setup (OTEL) for telemetry across distributed and remote systems.
- Design and maintain secure, efficient network topologies suitable for data-intensive applications.
- Design and own the infrastructure for a platform that spans cloud, on-premise, and hybrid environments.
- Define the security posture from day one – managing IAM, secrets, and policies – while building automation.
What We're Looking For
- 7+ years of experience building and maintaining production-grade infrastructure.
- Extensive experience managing cloud (AWS/GCP), on-prem, and hybrid environments.
- Advanced understanding of Docker (including security/permissions) and hands-on experience administering Kubernetes.
- Deep experience designing CI/CD pipelines and implementing GitOps workflows.
- Strong understanding of modern network topologies and security protocols.
- Strong experience with Terraform/Pulumi.
- Demonstrated experience with IAM, secrets management, and security policies.
Nice to Have
- Exposure to HPC environments (Slurm, LSF, PBS) or Apptainer.
- Experience with workflow engines (Airflow, Temporal).
- Any background in MLOps/LLMOps, or interest in growing into it.
- Experience administering relational or NoSQL databases.
Technical Stack
- Terraform, Pulumi, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, OTEL
Team & Environment
You will join a small, focused team operating at the founding-team level, building the foundations of a platform that does not yet exist.
