DevOps Engineer

Tasket

Tasket (http://tasket.com), founded by Bhavin Turakhia, Co-Founder of Zeta, Radix and Titan, is a radically reimagined task management platform built to Make Humanity more productive. Tasket goes beyond managing tasks to managing momentum, and is built for teams and companies that want to execute faster. Where most tools capture work, Tasket's promise is to:

1. Keep tasks moving - no idle time
2. Keep progress visible - no silent work
3. Keep context complete - no tool-hopping
4. Keep the system clean - no entropy

We are a lean team of opinionated craftsmen, who sweat the details. We are unique in how we work and believe in the following:

• Maniacal Urgency - Move with relentless speed. Find non-obvious shortcuts. Innovate not just in product, but in execution speed.
• Agents as Peers - Agents as collaborators in the workflow, taking on real work alongside humans.
• In-person over Remote - Default to being co-located. Learning loops are tighter, iterations are faster, and decisions take minutes.
• Delete aggressively - If it isn't high-impact, it doesn't belong. We cut ruthlesslyfeatures, process, and anything that adds drag.
• Frontline Generals, not Backseat Managers - Leadership means owning outcomes from the trenches. We stay close to the work, the users, and the details that matter

About the Role

We are looking for a talented individual to join the team at Tasket. We are looking for a highly technical Senior DevOps Engineer with deep expertise in cloud-native infrastructure, advanced CI/CD, GitOps workflows, systems programming, and complex production troubleshooting.

In this role, you will be responsible for the design and development of software infrastructure across the complete product suite. You will play a key role in building, scaling, and operating our globally distributed infrastructure platforms and enabling high reliability, performance, and developer velocity.

• Improve system observability through monitoring, logging, and alerting.
• Optimize infrastructure for performance, cost, and scalability.
• Implement and enforce security best practices (DevSecOps mindset).
• Support containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Collaborate closely with engineering teams to improve developer experience and release cycles.
• Develop automation and internal platform tooling using Python, Go, or Bash to reduce operational toil.
• Lead incident response, root cause analysis, and reliability improvements.
• Mentor junior engineers and help establish DevOps best practices across the organization.
