Senior Software Engineer (DevOps)

AngelList is where the startup world meets private capital. Our infrastructure team is small, fast‑moving, and foundational to every product we build. As a Senior Software Engineer (DevOps) , you’ll architect and scale the systems that support billions in venture assets and redefine how founders and investors connect.

What You’ll Do

• Architect and operate scalable Kubernetes environments that serve as the backbone of our deployment infrastructure
• Implement modern CI/CD pipelines , container orchestration, and automation that enable rapid iteration across all engineering teams
• Design resilient, secure, and observable systems using Terraform , Pulumi , ArgoCD , and modern SRE practices
• Influence infrastructure direction through hands‑on contribution, technical leadership, and roadmap planning
• Elevate developer experience by improving tooling and workflows across the stack
• Contribute to a high‑leverage team that enables all engineers to move faster with confidence

What We’re Looking For

• Strong programming skills in multiple languages (with Ruby and Rust experience highly valued)
• Deep experience with Kubernetes in production environments (this is non‑negotiable unless you’re a truly exceptional polyglot)
• A track record of implementing or overhauling modern, scalable CI/CD systems
• Expertise with infrastructure‑as‑code and cloud‑native automation tools (e.g., Terraform , Pulumi , ArgoCD )
• Comfort working across AWS and/or GCP cloud platforms
• A product‑minded engineer who can lead technical initiatives as capably as a full‑stack engineer
• We’re focused on forward‑looking infrastructure, not legacy stack maintenance

Bonus Traits

• Experience leading or contributing to open‑source projects
• Prior experience at a startup, or as a founder, showing self‑direction and ownership
• A passion for transforming financial access and building for scale

Success in This Role Looks Like

• You’ll enable engineering teams to ship faster, safer, and smarter
• You’ll drive key decisions in our infrastructure roadmap
• You’ll contribute reusable tools and best practices that elevate the org
• You’ll help us scale smoothly as we grow the number of funds, users, and transactions on the platform

We prefer to hire within the San Francisco and New York City hubs, with expectation of office presence twice per week.

Compensation: The compensation for this role consists of a competitive base salary, performance‑based variable component, benefits, and equity package. The base salary for this role is $200,000+ annually.
