Job Title: DevOps / Infrastructure Engineer (AI-Augmented)

Location: Remote (IRE / EU preferred)

Hours: Full-time (open to contract-to-hire for the right candidate)

Company Overview: Pulsate is a leading Mobile Engagement Platform tailored for Financial Institutions. Our platform enables personalized, real-time, and proactive messaging to customers, ensuring that financial decisions are made with the institution top of mind. In a nutshell: we build tech that drives personalization and growth for financial institutions. Backed by industry experts, we have established partnerships with numerous credit unions and community banks across the United States.

Position Overview

Pulsate is seeking a practical, automation-first DevOps Engineer to help us build and maintain a highly reliable, secure, and scalable platform—with minimal manual intervention. This isn’t a “data center wrangler” role; we’re looking for someone who actively reduces operational overhead through smart automation, scripting, and the use of AI tools.

You’ll work as part of our engineering team, collaborating closely with backend, mobile, and QA to streamline deployments, improve observability, and support our evolution toward real-time capabilities and deeper fintech integrations. Your job is to turn complexity into simplicity using modern infrastructure practices and automation-first thinking.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain fast, stable CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, etc.) for backend, mobile, and frontend codebases.
  • Automate cloud infrastructure provisioning and configuration using Terraform (or similar).
  • Use AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, GPT-based assistants) to accelerate scripting, troubleshooting, and documentation.
  • Optimize and manage our AWS environment, ensuring reliability, scalability, and cost-efficiency.
  • Set up and maintain actionable monitoring and alerting (Datadog, NewRelic) and bug report systems (Sentry, Bugsnag, LogRocket).
  • Strengthen security: manage IAM roles, secrets, SSL, and least-privilege policies and VPN access.
  • Design and support smart release strategies (blue/green, canary, feature flags) with safety checks and rollbacks.
  • Identify ops bottlenecks and replace them with automation—your goal is to build systems that run themselves.

Required Skills And Experience

  • 3+ years in DevOps, infrastructure engineering, or backend-focused SRE roles.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud-native infrastructure using AWS (EC2, Route52, EKS, etc)
  • Proficiency with Terraform, K8s Docker is a must.
  • Strong understanding of CI/CD tooling and best practices (GHA preferably).
  • Familiarity or experience with AI-assisted tools (e.g., Copilot, GPT, Claude) to improve engineering productivity.
  • Strong scripting ability (e.g., Bash, Python, Ruby) for prototyping and automating operational tasks.
  • Track record of building systems that simplify workflows for development teams.
  • Strong debugging, root-cause analysis, and production support skills.
  • Pragmatic and clear communicator who works iteratively and delivers value quickly.
  • Familiarity with modern databases (MongoDB, Postgres, Redis, Clickhouse).

Nice to Have

  • Experience with SaaS platforms involving real-time data or fintech APIs.
  • Familiarity with GitOps workflows (e.g., ArgoCD), observability-as-code, or AI-generated testing.
  • Exposure to mobile CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Fastlane).
  • Basic knowledge of RubyOnRails infrastructure.
  • Knowledge of compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001 or SOC2.
