Why we need you

Mandolins usage is climbing quickly and were preparing for a broad public launch. The platform must deliver enterprise-grade reliability airtight security and effortless developer productivity while processing sensitive healthcare data. Were looking for an DevOps Engineer who can build and operate a rock-solid cloud foundationthen codify the best-practice guardrails that every engineer will rely on as we scale.

What youll do

• Own cloud infrastructure end-to-end: Design and operate scalable highly available environments across development staging and production. Establish autoscaling policies HA networking cost-efficient resource management and clear environment parity. We run on GCP today what matters is how you think about infrastructure not which cloud you learned on.

• Drive GitOps and Kubernetes delivery: Own the GitOps delivery pipeline using ArgoCD and Kubernetes. Manage clusters ApplicationSets workload deployments and promotion workflows across environments. Ensure deployments are reliable observable and safely reversible.

• Embed security into the SDLC: Centralize secrets management define zero-trust IAM policies integrate continuous vulnerability scanning into CI/CD and own incident-response playbooks. Security is a design input not an afterthought.

• Build first-class observability: Deploy and maintain metrics tracing and log pipelines. Define actionable SLOs and alerting so the team knows about problems before customers do.

• Improve developer experience: Provide runbooks local-environment tooling and clear onboarding patterns that let new engineers ship safely on day one. Reduce toil through automation and golden-path tooling.

• Write code that matters: Infrastructure at Mandolin isnt just configuration youll write Go to build internal tooling automate operational workflows and solve problems that cant be solved with YAML alone.

• Collaborate across teams: Review architectural changes for infrastructure and security impact. Partner with backend engineers on scalability initiatives. Document decisions clearly so knowledge doesnt live only in your head.
