Sr. DevOps Engineer

About Momentum

AI is the most significant shift in how work gets done since the advent of the Internet — yet most organizations are still failing to capture its value.

At Momentum, founded by Bhavin Turakhia — Co-Founder of Zeta, Radix, and Titan — we are building an integrated, AI-first suite that captures work, centralizes context, and makes AI a first-class participant in every workflow:

• Tasket — A radically reimagined, AI-native work management platform that solves for context fragmentation and process knowledge.
• Chimera — An enterprise-ready AI assistant, co-work, and agent platform that eliminates integration tax and enforces governance.
• Proxy — A personal agent platform that shifts responsibility and accountability to AI, keeping you in the consulted and informed role.

We are a lean team of opinionated craftspeople who sweat the details — unique in how we work and uncompromising in what we believe:

• Maniacal Urgency — Move with relentless speed. Find non-obvious shortcuts. Innovate not just in product, but in how fast you execute.
• Agents as Peers — AI agents are collaborators, not tools. They take on real work alongside humans in every workflow.
• In-Person Over Remote — We default to being co-located. Learning loops are tighter, iterations are faster, and decisions take minutes, not days.
• Delete Aggressively — If it isn't high-impact, it doesn't belong. We cut ruthlessly — features, processes, 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 Momentum. 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.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain scalable, secure cloud infrastructure (primarily in AWS/GCP/ Azure).
• Architect, implement, and optimize CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows to enable fast, reliable, and auditable deployments.
• Build and manage infrastructure as code (IaC) using tools like Terraform or Crossplane.
• 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.
