THE ROLE

This is a hybrid DevOps/Backend Engineering role involving cloud engineering, backend systems, and infrastructure migration. You’ll work with systems originating from different environments, requiring cloud expertise, backend understanding, and fast learning.

You will evaluate, plan, and migrate backend systems from various cloud and hosting providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, custom setups, and more) into our infrastructure. By leveraging AI tools and automation, you will significantly accelerate migrations and modernization efforts.

This role suits someone who enjoys solving complex puzzles, exploring unknown systems, and working independently in a remote environment. Your work will directly support the scale and efficiency of Rounds’ operations.

Responsibilities

• Architect, evolve, and oversee backend infrastructure transformations.
• Assess complexity, outline risks, and estimate effort and timelines.
• Rebuild or refactor backend components when needed, including rewriting services (with AI assistance).
• Utilize AI tools and agents to speed up research, refactoring, documentation, and investigations.
• Design and maintain cloud environments using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred).
• Build, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines.

Hiring manager: Adam Gold, DevOps Team Lead (Linkedin profile)

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

Must-have:

• 5+ years in DevOps, Cloud Engineering, or Backend Engineering.
• Hands-on experience with GCP or strong AWS/Azure background and willingness to transition.
• Practical experience with Terraform (or similar IaC).
• Strong Linux, networking, and cloud fundamentals.
• Experience with Docker and containerized deployments.
• Proficiency in at least one backend language (Python, Node.js, Go, Java, etc.).
• Experience with SQL and/or NoSQL databases.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with Kubernetes or other orchestration tools.
• Familiarity with CI/CD platforms such as CircleCI, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or ArgoCD.
• Experience with reverse-engineering unknown systems or digging through legacy setups.
• Experience with monitoring tools such as Datadog, Prometheus, or GCP Monitoring.
• Background in refactoring, rewriting, or modernizing backend services.
