Staff DevOps Engineer

Fliff is looking for a Staff DevOps Engineer who is passionate about building scalable, reliable, and secure platforms that power real-time, high-traffic user experiences. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, excel at solving complex distributed systems problems, and enjoy partnering closely with Product, Engineering, and Security teams. You bring a platform mindset, an automation-first philosophy, and the ability to drive architectural decisions that improve engineering velocity and system reliability.

You will architect, build, and operate highly available, high-performance infrastructure that supports large volumes of real-time traffic, especially during peak sports windows. You will lead the design and development of internal platforms, tooling, and automated workflows that accelerate engineering productivity. You will own and improve observability (metrics, logs, traces), monitoring, and alerting to ensure fast detection and resolution of issues.

You will drive incident response, root-cause analysis, and reliability improvements across the engineering organization. You will enhance and maintain our Kubernetes-based platform, including Helm charts, multi-environment pipelines, cluster upgrades, and operational hardening. You will partner with engineering leadership on capacity planning, cost optimization, and infrastructure roadmap planning. You will champion Infrastructure-as-Code, GitOps workflows, and automation as the default mode of operating.
