Who We Are!

Back in 2019, spiderSilk was born with a bold idea: build regional, sovereign cybersecurity IP that could stand tall on the global stage.

Our mission? To shake up the way organizations protect their ever-changing digital worlds with continuous, intelligent, and autonomous security that doesn’t miss a beat.

We’re a global mix of curious minds, problem-solvers, and passionate builders, all united by one goal: making the internet a safer place for everyone. Around here, we thrive on vision, energy, and a strong sense of ownership.

If this feels like your kind of crew, you’ll probably fit right in.

About the Role:

As a DevOps Engineer at spiderSilk, you will play a pivotal role in optimizing our development and deployment pipelines, ensuring high availability, security, and scalability of the infrastructure powering our cutting-edge cybersecurity products. You’ll work at the intersection of engineering and operations, driving automation, resilience, and efficiency across our systems while fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure to accelerate software delivery.
• Monitor system performance, troubleshoot issues, and proactively respond to incidents to minimize downtime.
• Collaborate closely with software engineers to enable rapid, secure, and reliable releases.
• Automate deployment, testing, and scaling processes to enhance operational efficiency.
• Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and cloud security best practices to ensure compliance and reduce risk.
• Optimize system reliability and performance through proactive capacity planning and tuning.
• Champion DevOps best practices, including observability, disaster recovery, and cost optimization.
• Stay ahead of emerging technologies and evaluate new tools to improve our tech stack.

Requirements:

• 7+ years of hands‑on experience in DevOps, SRE, or Cloud Engineering, preferably in fast‑paced environments.
• Strong expertise with tools like Kubernetes, Docker, Ansible, Terraform, and CI/CD platforms (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions).
• Proven experience in scaling applications and databases (SQL & NoSQL) for high-traffic workloads.
• Familiarity with AI/ML tools that enhance operations and development (e.g., AI-driven monitoring, automated anomaly detection).
• Deep proficiency in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP, or Oracle Cloud) and hybrid/multi-cloud architectures.
• Strong scripting/programming skills in Python, Bash, or Go for automation and tooling.
• Solid understanding of networking, Linux systems, and security principles (e.g., zero-trust, IAM, secrets management).
• A startup mindset—self-driven, adaptable, and passionate about building impactful products in a collaborative environment.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with cybersecurity tools and compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC2, ISO 27001).
• Knowledge of observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, OpenTelemetry).
• Contributions to open-source projects or a strong technical blog/portfolio.
