Job description

Ready to own it, build it, and grow it?

About us:

We are Publitas! We’re a remote-first, fast-growing SaaS company helping brands turn static content into digital discovery experiences that drive results.

We’re not about busywork, hierarchy, or hand-holding. We hire sharp minds, trust them fully, and measure success by real results, not noise. If you thrive in autonomy, challenge, and high ownership, you’ll love it here.

About this role

This is not a sprint-based product DevOps role. You won’t own a quarterly roadmap or ship features against a backlog. You’ll sit on our Tiger Team: a small group that handles the operational work outside the regular sprint cadence — the urgent, the cross-cutting, the unowned, and the things that need a senior pair of hands before they become incidents.

On a given week you might respond to a high-severity production incident, harden an AWS account that’s drifted from policy, automate a compliance control that’s currently manual, untangle a deploy pipeline that’s slowing three teams down, or write the postmortem that prevents the next outage. The work is real, but the shape of it changes week to week.

This role fits you if you…

Are energized - not stressed - by switching contexts and owning problems end-to-end without a PM handing them to you
Are comfortable being measured on outcomes (incidents prevented, toil eliminated, MTTR reduced) rather than tickets closed
Can hold the long view while firefighting, so today’s fix doesn’t become tomorrow’s debt
Communicate clearly in writing - async, distributed, no hand-holding
Push back when something is the wrong priority, and pick it up anyway when it’s the right one

This role does not fit you if you…

Want a stable backlog and predictable weekly rhythm
Need to own a long-running platform area to feel grounded
Prefer building greenfield over hardening, automating, and rescuing
Read “off-sprint” as “on-call 24/7" - it isn’t, but the cadence is genuinely irregular

What you’ll do

Work hands-on across our AWS and GCP infrastructure - availability, scalability, performance, security
Contribute as a senior responder on high-severity incidents, freeing product engineering to stay on their roadmap
Build infrastructure-as-code, automation, and observability that reduces operational toil across the company
Take on the cross-team operational problems that don’t fit cleanly into one squad’s sprint
Strengthen monitoring, alerting, and post-incident learning so we get better at every iteration
Partner with engineering teams on deployment, developer experience, and architecture when they need senior infra input
Share knowledge generously - mentor junior engineers, document what you learn, raise the floor

What We Provide to Help You Win…

A competitive salary
25 vacation days + your local national holidays
A top-tier MacBook and remote-ready gear
Monthly wellness budget to invest in your health
Co-Working allowance
Events, training, or courses that directly and primarily contribute to your work at Publitas
Free books on Kindle and Audible
Free Publitas Swag (merchandise)
