- An Experienced Leader: You have 7+ years of DevOps experience, with at least 2 years spent leading teams or major technical initiatives. You know how to guide a project from a whiteboard sketch to a production reality
- A Polyglot: You are a master of at least one programming language (Python is great, but we’re particularly excited if you speak TypeScript on Node.js)
- Cloud Native: AWS is your playground. If you also have experience with GCP, that’s a massive bonus
- An IaC Purist: You believe everything should be version-controlled. You have deep experience with Terraform and Terragrunt
- A Distributed Systems Guru: You have strong working knowledge of distributed systems and event-driven architectures, including hands-on experience with technologies like Kafka, RabbitMQ, or comparable message brokers
- A Pipeline Expert: You have a proven track record of maintaining sophisticated CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions experience is a plus)
- A Collaborator: You have a "knack" for collaboration. You can translate complex infra-speak into actionable insights for product and dev teams
- Growth Minded: You have an insatiable desire for self-improvement and are constantly looking for ways to make your solutions—and yourself—better
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Tech Lead, DevOps Engineer who views "infrastructure as code" as an art form and thrives on the challenge of making complex systems feel invisible to the developers using them
- As the Tech Lead, you will be the primary architect of our deployment ecosystem. You won’t just be "fixing servers"; you will be designing the foundation that enables vibe coding company-wide—an environment where ideas move from an employee's brain to production with zero friction and maximum confidence
- Architect the "Vibe Coding" Ecosystem: Build the infrastructure and internal platform that allows our employees to create applications and leverage AI and high-level automation to accomplish tasks at the speed of thought, making their day-to-day work faster
- Propel Engineering Velocity: You’ll be the force multiplier for our entire dev team, automating everything from environment provisioning to testing, ensuring our team goes faster every single day
- Define the Strategic North Star: You will own and deliver a vision for a modern cloud-native stack that balances cutting-edge AI integration, airtight security, and radical automatio
- Creative Architecting: Work alongside a high-caliber engineering team to architect and build deployment solutions that are as elegant as they are reliable, maintainable, and scalable
- System Design: Implement solutions for new and existing products that align with Industrious’ overall data strategy, ensuring that our members and employees experience zero downtime and peak performance
- CI/CD Orchestration: Mastermind our CI/CD processes using GitHub Actions and modern build tools to ensure a seamless flow into our AWS cloud environment
- Security & Health: Act as the guardian of our stack—improving application monitoring, performing regular maintenance/upgrades, and evolving our security posture to stay ahead of the curve
- Future-Proofing: You don’t just solve for today. You anticipate the needs of a growing global business and implement solutions that scale effortlessly
- Culture Building: As a Lead, you will mentor other engineers and contribute to a culture of radical transparency, continuous learning, and high-performance "vibes."
- The First 30 Days: Deep Immersion & Vision Casting
- The Deep Dive: You’ll embed yourself within our engineering culture, mastering our current stack and understanding the unique pulse of our distributed systems
- Architectural Audit: You’ll identify the "friction points"—spotting opportunities to streamline our architecture and enhance our security posture
- Drafting the North Star: You’ll begin articulating a long-term vision for our infrastructure that prioritizes developer joy, security, and radical automation
- The First 60 Days: Driving Velocity
- Leveling Up DX: You’ll actively work with your DevOps teammates to ship improvements that make our developers’ lives easier, faster, and more creative
- Observability as an Intuition: You’ll begin overhauling our monitoring systems, moving us toward a world of real-time metrics where system health is visible at a glance
- The Vibe Coding Blueprint: You’ll research and test the foundational tools required to bring "vibe coding" to the entire organization, ensuring security and standards are baked in from the start
- The First 90 Days: Ownership & The Pilot Phase
- Domain Authority: You are now the recognized lead for our Developer Experience and Monitoring initiatives, driving measurable improvements in how we build and observe
- Launching the Pilot: You’ll roll out our first "vibe coding" solution to a select pilot group, gathering feedback and proving that infrastructure can be both invisible and empowering
- Strategic Alignment: You’ll have a seat at the table with our Cyber-security team, ensuring our growth never comes at the expense of our safety
- By the End of Your First Year: A New Era of Productivity
- The Productivity Multiplier: You will have successfully enabled "vibe coding" across all departments, leading to a significant increase in global company productivity
- Predictive Stability: Our monitoring is no longer reactive. We can now anticipate most potential issues before they impact a single user
- The Enhanced Developer: Our engineering team is now equipped with a world-class DX ecosystem that has boosted their individual productivity significantly, allowing them to spend more time innovating and less time "setting up testing environment."
Our take
Industrious was founded in 2012 when its creators noticed that people often work d better in hotel lobbies and coffee shops than in traditional offices. This inspired the company to develop flexible workspaces that blend the casual environment of public spaces with the resources, security, and professionalism of an office setting.
Shared flexible workspaces are nothing new, but Industrious has successfully differentiated itself from larger competitors like WeWork by focusing on management contracts with landlords rather than leasing properties. The company has seen its revenue triple in recent years and has even taken over WeWork's former headquarters in Manhattan.
As demand for smaller, flexible office spaces grows, Industrious is thriving. With partnerships like CBRE and its expansion into key markets, the company is ready to capitalize on the shifting trends in office space.
