Sr. Devops Engineer II

Who we are

DoubleVerify is an Israeli-founded big data analytics company (Stock: NYSE: DV). We track and analyze tens of billions of ads every day for the biggest brands in the world.
We operate at a massive scale handling over 100B events per day and over 1M RPS at peak; we process events in real-time at low latencies (ms) and analyze over 2.5M video years every day. We verify that all ads are fraud-free appear next to appropriate content appear to people in the right geography and measure the viewability and users engagement throughout the ads lifecycle.

We are global with HQ in NYC and R&D centers in Tel Aviv New York Finland Berlin Belgium and San Diego. We work in a fast-paced environment and have a lot of challenges to solve. If you like to work in a large-scale environment and want to help us build products that have a huge impact on the industry and the web then your place is with us.

The Opportunity

The DevOps Platform team builds and operates the shared infrastructure foundation that powers all of DoubleVerifys engineering teams. Were the team behind the platforms processing billions of events dailyKubernetes clusters spanning cloud and data centers streaming and data systems workflow orchestration and the observability stack that keeps everything running.

As a Senior Platform Engineer youll own critical infrastructure that hundreds of developers depend on every day. This isnt about keeping the lights onits about building resilient self-service platforms that make complex distributed systems simple to operate. Youll work with cutting-edge technologies (Kubernetes Kafka Aerospike ArgoCD Envoy) and have the autonomy to define standards and shape how DVs infrastructure evolves as the company scales.

If you love building platforms that other engineers love using this is your role.

Why Platform Engineering at DoubleVerify

Real Impact at Scale

Your work directly enables engineering teams across the company to move faster and more reliably. The platforms you build process billions of advertising verification events daily for Fortune 500 brandsreal infrastructure challenges at meaningful scale.

Ownership & Autonomy

Senior platform engineers own entire systems end-to-end. Youll make architectural decisions define standards and have the freedom to implement the best solutionsnot just follow tickets.

Cutting-Edge Technology

Work with modern cloud-native technologies and emerging tools. We invest in the latest CNCF ecosystem innovations and give you the space to experiment and learn.

Collaborative Global Team

Partner with talented engineers across US Israel and Europe. Youll work with specialists in SRE AI infrastructure security and developmentlearning from diverse perspectives while mentoring others.

What Youll Achieve

Own Company-Wide Infrastructure Platforms

• Design deploy and operate Kubernetes platforms across GCP AWS and data center environments that serve as the foundation for 100 engineering teams
• Build and maintain critical shared services: streaming (Kafka) data storage (Aerospike) workflow orchestration (Airflow) and observability (Prometheus Grafana) that process billions of events with 99.9% reliability

Elevate Developer Experience

• Create tooling and automation that transforms complex platform operations into simple self-service workflowsempowering developers while maintaining security and stability
• Drive CI/CD evolution by building operators controllers and management tools that reduce toil and accelerate deployment velocity

Shape Infrastructure Standards

• Partner with product teams from day one to ensure new features integrate cleanly and reliably into DVs infrastructure preventing technical debt before it happens
• Define and promote best practices for automation observability security and maintainability that scale across the organization

Lead Technical Projects

• Plan and deliver high-impact infrastructure initiatives in collaboration with multidisciplinary DevOps SRE and engineering teams across US Israel and Europe
• Use metrics logs and traces to proactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks turning insights into lasting improvements

What Youll Bring

Required:

• 5 years in DevOps Platform Engineering or SRE roles operating production infrastructure at scale
• 3 years hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production environments (bonus if youve owned/managed a K8s platform)
• Strong cloud platform expertise in GCP or AWS (multi-cloud experience valued)
• Software engineering mindset - you write code (Python Go Bash) to solve infrastructure problems not just configure tools
• Observability-driven troubleshooting - youre comfortable diving into metrics logs and traces to diagnose distributed system issues
• Platform thinking - you design for reliability scalability and developer experience not just getting it working

Nice to Have:

• Hands-on experience with Kafka ArgoCD Aerospike or Airflow in production
• Background with service mesh technologies (Envoy Gateway Istio)
• Experience with GitOps workflows and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform Crossplane)
• Contributions to open-source platform tooling or CNCF projects
• Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices and culture

Beyond the Resume:

• Empathy for developers - you care deeply about improving the experience of engineers using your platforms
• Systems thinker - you see the big picture and understand how components interact across distributed systems
• Strong communicator - you can explain complex infrastructure concepts to application developers and collaborate across teams
• Initiative and ownership - you dont wait to be told what to do; you identify problems and drive solutions
