DevOps Engineer

Total AI Systems, Inc. is looking for a serious DevOps Engineer—someone who understands infrastructure not as diagrams, but as systems that fail, recover, scale, and ship.

We run on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and are evolving from single-tenant deployments toward multi-tenant architectures. You will own how code moves from GitHub CI/CD production, how environments are secured, monitored, scaled, and how incidents are handled when things go sideways.

This is a hands-on, operator role, not a theoretical or mostly meetings position. If you enjoy building pipelines, hardening infrastructure, automating everything, and being the person engineering trusts at 3:00 AM—this role is for you.

What You'll Be Responsible For

• Designing, building, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines from GitHub to AWS
• Managing AWS infrastructure using industry best practices (IaC, automation, security-first design)
• Supporting and improving single-tenant deployments while helping evolve toward multi-tenant architecture
• Ensuring high availability, scalability, security, and observability across environments
• Monitoring systems, responding to incidents, and performing root-cause analysis
• Implementing logging, alerting, backups, and disaster recovery strategies
• Partnering with engineering to enable fast, safe, repeatable deployments
• Owning production reliability—you build it, you keep it running

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university
• 3+ years of hands-on DevOps experience managing production systems
• Strong experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS)
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub-based workflows required)
• Experience working with single-tenant architectures, with exposure to multi-tenant systems
• Ability and willingness to work US business hours
• Fluent spoken and written English
• Extremely dependable—when issues arise (day or night), you respond and take ownership

Preferred (Strongly)

• AWS Certification (Solutions Architect or higher preferred)
• Infrastructure-as-Code experience (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.)
• Deep familiarity with:
• VPCs, IAM, EC2, ECS/EKS, RDS, S3, CloudWatch
• Networking, security groups, least-privilege access
• Zero-downtime deployments and rollback strategies
• Experience supporting SaaS platforms at scale
• Comfort being on-call and owning production health

What We Mean by Nerdy

We're looking for someone who:

• Knows why things break, not just that they broke
• Understands tradeoffs between cost, reliability, and speed
• Automates first and documents second
• Has strong opinions—but can back them up
• Treats uptime, security, and clean pipelines as personal pride
