About the Role:
As a DevOps Engineer at Sardine, you'll play a critical role in evolving our infrastructure and platform tooling to support a growing engineering team. This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you’ll drive key initiatives across deployment, observability, developer productivity, and cloud cost management.
You’ll work closely with application engineers, QA, and cross-functional stakeholders like Security and Finance to ensure our systems are reliable, scalable, and cost-efficient. The role involves building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, improving system observability, optimizing cloud usage through FinOps governance, and strengthening our platform’s resilience. While we have core tools in place, we’re looking for someone who can both own and elevate them by identifying gaps, improving automation, and proactively driving improvements.
This is an ideal role for someone who brings deep technical expertise, thrives in high-ownership environments, and is excited to shape the future of DevOps.
What you'll be doing:
- Own and evolve our DevOps and platform engineering function, from build and deployment pipelines to monitoring, infrastructure as code, and cost optimization.
- Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines that are secure, scalable, and built to support rapid product iterations without sacrificing stability.
- Improve observability via Datadog, GCP, and custom dashboards, including FinOps focused observability outcomes.
- Implement and maintain FinOps governance, including showback and chargeback models, to drive cost accountability across engineering teams.
- Enable developer productivity by creating internal tooling, reusable modules, and simplifying infrastructure for other engineering teams.
- Help teams define and measure SLOs setting the standard for how we think about system health and reliability.
- Serve as a FinOps thought leader, collaborating with Product and Engineering to define the most cost-effective architectural patterns for new services and features.
- Play a key role in shaping our engineering culture, DevOps best practices, and influencing our long-term DevOps roadmap.
- Work cross-functionally with product engineering, security, finance, and other teams to align technical spending with business unit economics and financial goals.
What you'll need:
- 6+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or software engineering roles, ideally in high-growth startup environments
- Proficiency in Python or Go, with strong software engineering fundamentals
- Proven ownership of production infrastructure and platform tooling, with strong debugging skills and the ability to troubleshoot complex distributed systems and diagnose unforeseen financial spikes
- Demonstrated experience in designing and implementing highly secure and robust infrastructure, particularly in environments with stringent regulatory requirements such as those used by government agencies and major financial institutions
- Deep experience with Kubernetes and tools like ArgoCD, Helm, and Terraform
- Familiarity with GCP (preferred) or other major cloud providers, with a deep focus on cloud cost management, leveraging reserved instances/savings plans, and implementing cost anomaly detection
- Hands-on experience with dedicated FinOps tooling (e.g., Kubecost, AWS Cost Explorer, GCP Cloud Billing, DoIT Cloud Intelligence) or building custom tooling for cost allocation and reporting.
- Strong experience building CI/CD pipelines and internal developer tooling from the ground up
- Hands-on experience with observability tools like Prometheus or Datadog, and participation in an on-call rotation
Benefits we offer:
- Generous compensation in cash and equity
- Early exercise for all options, including pre-vested
- Work from anywhere: Remote-first Culture
- Flexible paid time off and Year-end break
- Health insurance, dental, and vision coverage for employees and dependents - US and Canada specific
- 4% matching in 401k / RRSP - US and Canada specific
- MacBook Pro delivered to your door
- One-time stipend to set up a home office — desk, chair, screen, etc.
- Monthly meal stipend
- Monthly social meet-up stipend
- Annual health and wellness stipend
