Monk CI is Looking for:
Founding DevOps Engineer MonkCI
About MonkCI
MonkCI is building the world's fastest CI runners optimized for the AI era.
As AI-driven development increases code generation frequency and build volume, traditional CI infrastructure becomes slow, expensive, and operationally inefficient. MonkCI is a next-generation CI platform that provides high-performance, VM-level isolated runners on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) with intelligent scaling, deep observability, and AI-native optimizations.
We are building:
Multi-tenant, high-isolation CI infrastructure
Ephemeral VM-based runners (MIG-backed)
Kubernetes-based control plane
Deep observability (metrics, logs, traces)
Enterprise-grade compliance and security posture
AI-era performance optimizations
Why We Are Hiring a Founding DevOps Engineer
