📋 Description

• Forge is building the world’s first AI-native DevOps workspace, a unified environment that learns from every deployment, automates runbooks, and gives engineers superpowers. • Looking for clear communicators with a breadth of DevOps skills that take pride and ownership in their work. • If you crave variety, love green-field challenges, and want to shape the future of AI-powered infrastructure, you’ll thrive here. • This job is fully remote. • As a Forward Deployed DevOps Engineer, you’ll embed directly with companies, shipping infrastructure that keeps them moving fast without sacrificing reliability, best practices, or security. • Own green-field & brown-field infra. Design, build, and operate CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration, IaC, monitoring, and incident response. • Lead “day-zero” engagements. In your first week on a new account, run a lightweight discovery, draft a 30–60–90-day infra plan, and drive exec buy-in. • Ship fixes, not tickets. You’ll hold the pager, debug outages, and push code that prevents the next one. • Level-up teams. Pair-program, run brownbags, and write concise runbooks so founders can stay focused on product. • Feedback-loop back home. Capture patterns from the field to improve our internal tooling and playbooks.

🎯 Requirements

• 4+ years building and operating production cloud infrastructure. • Proven success juggling multiple projects or consulting engagements. • Deep experience with at least one major cloud plus Kubernetes. • Hands-on Terraform (or Pulumi/CDK) and modern CI/CD (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, GitLab, Buildkite). • Observability chops: Prometheus/Grafana, Datadog, OpenTelemetry, etc. • Strong fundamentals in networking, Linux, containers, and security. • (Titles and exact years matter less than demonstrated skill and learning speed.) • Prior “forward-deployed” or consulting experience. • Experience hardening SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA environments. • Serverless, data-platform, or multi-cloud routing expertise. • Go or Python for bespoke tooling (we use both).
