About Aivar Innovations
Aivar is an AI-first technology services company taking enterprise AI from pilot to production — fast. Founded by four ex-AWS engineers and backed by
Sorin Investments and Bessemer Venture Partners ($4.6M seed), we don't just recommend AI — we build, deploy, and run it in live production environments.
In under a year, we've onboarded
100+ enterprises across fintech, healthcare, logistics, and retail, growing
2x quarter-over-quarter with a team scaling past 100. We use AI to run ourselves too — from requirements analysis to delivery — so you won't just build AI here, you'll work with it every day.
Role Overview
We're looking for a
hands-on DevOps Engineer to strengthen infrastructure, automate delivery, and improve reliability across customer and internal environments. You'll partner closely with engineering teams to build secure, scalable cloud platforms that ship fast without breaking.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar.
- Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code with Terraform (and CloudFormation where needed), including modules, state management, and reusable design.
- Deploy and manage containerized workloads with Docker, Kubernetes, ECS, and EKS.
- Monitor platform health, investigate incidents, and drive improvements in reliability and performance.
- Implement secure cloud configurations: IAM, encryption, secrets management, logging, and network segmentation.
- Support observability using Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, FluentBit, or OpenTelemetry.
- Partner with developers to improve release quality, deployment speed, and operational readiness.
- Continuously raise the bar on automation, documentation, and DevOps practices across the org.
Required Skills
- 5+ years in DevOps, SRE, or cloud infrastructure roles.
- Strong hands-on experience with AWS and cloud-native architecture.
- Solid expertise in Terraform (modules, state, reusable patterns).
- Proven experience designing and running CI/CD pipelines and release automation.
- Working knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, and container deployment workflows.
- Scripting in Python, Bash, or similar.
- Solid grasp of monitoring, logging, alerting, and incident response.
- Strong security fundamentals: least-privilege access, secrets management, audit logging.
Preferred Experience
- Working in customer cloud accounts or multi-tenant environments.
- Compliance-aligned infrastructure: SOC 2, HIPAA, or HITRUST.
- Hands-on with ECS, EKS, ECR, Security Hub, GuardDuty, and modern observability stacks.
- Certifications such as AWS, CKAD, or other cloud/DevOps credentials.
- Experience in high-growth product or services environments where speed and ownership matter.
What Success Looks Like
- CI/CD pipelines are faster, more reliable, and reduce manual effort across teams.
- Infrastructure is automated, repeatable, and easy to scale across customer environments.
- Production systems show stronger uptime, observability, and faster incident response.
- Engineering teams ship confidently with mature release and operational support.
- Cloud environments meet security and compliance bars without slowing delivery.
