As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you'll design, operate, and evolve the platform that runs Gong's production environment across AWS, GCP, and Azure, powering hundreds of Java microservices, ML model-serving workloads, and the internal tooling our R&D organization depends on every day.
You'll own:
- A multi-cloud, multi-region Kubernetes platform managed as code via Crossplane, Helm, and ArgoCD
- CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Argo Workflows) that deploy, test, and scale workloads across environments
- Monitoring, logging, and alerting across the stack (Datadog, Coralogix, Sentry, Wiz), and the on-call rotations that keep it healthy
You'll solve:
- High-scale production problems: driving continuous platform and security upgrades across the fleet, under real traffic, without impacting live tenants
- The velocity-vs-safety tradeoff: designing GitOps workflows where a single PR can safely impact production across clouds and region
- Advanced troubleshooting when production, staging, or dev environments break in unexpected ways
You'll impact:
- Every engineer at Gong. Our platform is the substrate they deploy on, so your work directly affects their delivery speed
- Cost, reliability, and security of the infrastructure that underpins the product our customers pay for
- The resilience of Gong's customer experience. The platform you build determines whether thousands of revenue teams can trust Gong to be there when they need it
- The direction of the platform itself. You'll have the autonomy to challenge existing architecture and drive meaningful changes, not just maintain what's already there
How you'll succeed here:
- 5+ years in DevOps or platform engineering, with deep AWS experience and proven ownership of high-scale production systems (reliability, performance, and cost optimization)
- Strong hands-on with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm) in real production, not just demos
- Fluent in IaC and GitOps (Terraform, ArgoCD) and CI/CD tooling like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or Argo Workflows
- Solid grasp of cloud security and architecture best practices: building systems that are resilient, scalable, and cost-efficient by default
- Comfortable with monitoring and logging stacks (Datadog, Coralogix, Prometheus, Grafana): you design for observability, not bolt it on after
- Scripting fluency in Python, bash, or Node.js to automate anything that shouldn't be done twice
- Linux at a systems level: you can troubleshoot DNS, iptables, or systemd issues without hesitation
- Clear communicator who collaborates across R&D, Security, and Product, documents decisions, and follows through on delivery, from RFC to rollout
- Bonus: experience with big-data infrastructure, Java/JVM services, or multi-cloud (GCP/Azure)
*We operate in a flexible hybrid work model.
