Founding DevOps Engineer

About Us 

Private events and catering can significantly increase restaurant and event space revenue, but many venues are stuck using outdated, error-prone manual processes - unlike the sophisticated software employed by large chains. Perfect Venue is leveling the playing field by offering local restaurants and venues an affordable, user-friendly, event management tool to help local them compete with big chains. This is just the start, with plans to expand into a broader marketplace that includes other event services (DJs, florists, etc).

We’re hiring our first DevOps engineer to design and own our platform from first principles.

This is not a maintenance role.

We are migrating to a new cloud environment and rebuilding our infrastructure from the ground up. There is no legacy system to inherit, you’ll define how everything works: infrastructure, deployment, observability, and reliability,

If you’ve wanted to build a system the right way, this is that opportunity.

You won’t just improve systems, you’ll define them.

You will have end-to-end ownership of our infrastructure and developer platform:

• Define and implement our infrastructure architecture from scratch

• Rebuild our CI/CD pipeline to better scale with a growing team

• Own all infrastructure-as-code and environment provisioning

• Design our observability strategy (metrics, logs, traces, alerting)

• Establish best practices for reliability, scaling, and incident response

• Own security fundamentals (secrets, access control, production hardening)

• Partner with application engineers to create a fast, reliable developer experience

• Make foundational decisions on cloud, tooling, and architecture

• Contribute as an application developer when needed

• 6+ years DevOps/infrastructure

• 3+ years application development

• Experience in both startup and scale up environments

• Expertise using infrastructure management tools like Terraform or CloudFormation

• Familiarity with programming languages like Ruby, Python, and JavaScript

• Competitive compensation with meaningful equity that you can actually use

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage with premiums paid for you and cost sharing for dependents

• Flexible PTO and 401(k)

• Complimentary One Medical membership for you and your family

• Hybrid schedule with three days per week in office
