OVERVIEW

We are seeking a DevOps engineer to join as a core member of our technical team. This is a long-term position for someone who wants to own infrastructure and deployment for a production machine learning system. You will ensure our prediction pipeline runs reliably, deploys smoothly, and scales as needed.

The ideal candidate thinks about failure modes obsessively, automates everything possible, and builds systems that run without constant attention.

CORE TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

Docker (Required): Deep experience with containerization. Efficient Dockerfiles, layer caching, multi-stage builds, debugging container issues. Experience with Docker Compose for local development.

Google Cloud Platform (Required): Strong GCP experience: Cloud Run for serverless containers, Compute Engine for VMs, Artifact Registry for images, Cloud Storage, IAM. You can navigate the console but prefer scripting everything.

CI/CD (Required): Build and maintain deployment pipelines. GitHub Actions required. You automate testing, building, pushing, and deploying. You understand the difference between continuous integration and continuous deployment.

Linux Administration (Required): Comfortable on the command line. SSH, diagnose problems, manage services, read logs, fix things. Bash scripting is second nature.

PostgreSQL (Required): Database administration basics—backups, monitoring, connection management, basic performance tuning. Not a DBA, but comfortable keeping a production database healthy.

Infrastructure as Code (Preferred): Terraform, Pulumi, or similar. Infrastructure should be versioned, reviewed, and reproducible—not clicked together in a console.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

Deployment Pipeline: Maintaining and improving deployment scripts and CI/CD workflows. Code moves from commit to production reliably with appropriate testing gates.

Cloud Run Services: Managing deployments for model fitting, data cleansing, and signal discovery services. Monitor health, optimize cold starts, handle scaling.

VM Infrastructure: PostgreSQL and Streamlit on GCP VMs. Instance management, updates, backups, security.

Container Registry: Managing images in GitHub Container Registry and Google Artifact Registry. Cleanup policies, versioning, access control.

Monitoring and Alerting: Building observability. Logging, metrics, health checks, alerting. Know when things break before users tell us.

Environment Management: Configuration across local and production. Secrets management. Environment parity where it matters.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

Deployments are boring—no drama, no surprises. Systems recover automatically from transient failures. Engineers deploy with confidence. Infrastructure changes are versioned and reproducible. Costs are reasonable and resources scale appropriately.

ENGINEERING STANDARDS

Automation First: If you do something twice, automate it. Manual processes are bugs waiting to happen.

Documentation: Runbooks, architecture diagrams, deployment guides. The next person can understand and operate the system.

Security Mindset: Secrets never in code. Least-privilege access. You think about attack surfaces.

Reliability Focus: Design for failure. Backups are tested. Recovery procedures exist and work.

CURRENT ENVIRONMENT

GCP (Cloud Run, Compute Engine, Artifact Registry, Cloud Storage), Docker, Docker Compose, GitHub Actions, PostgreSQL 16, Bash deployment scripts with Python wrapper.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Ownership Mentality: You see a problem, you fix it. You do not wait for assignment.

Calm Under Pressure: When production breaks, you diagnose methodically.

Communication: You explain infrastructure decisions to non-infrastructure people. You document what you build.

Long-Term Thinking: You build systems maintained for years, not quick fixes creating tech debt.

EDUCATION

University degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field preferred. Equivalent demonstrated expertise also considered.

Job description

Problem Statement-Solution

Only 10% of India speaks English and 90% speak over 25 languages and 1000s of dialects. The internet has largely been in English. A good part of India is now getting internet connectivity thanks to cheap smartphones and Jio. The non-English speaking internet users will balloon to about 600 million users out of the total 750 million internet users in India by 2020. This will make the vernacular segment one of the largest segments in the world - almost 2x the size of the US population. The vernacular segment has very few products that they can use on the internet.

One large human need is that of sharing thoughts and connecting with people of the same community on the basis of language and common interests. Twitter serves this need globally but the experience is mostly in English. There’s a large unaddressed need for these vernacular users to express themselves in their mother tongue and connect with others from their community. Koo is a solution to this problem.

About Koo

Koo was founded in March 2020, as a micro-blogging platform in both Indian languages and English, which gives a voice to the millions of Indians who communicate in Indian languages.

Currently available in Assamese, Bengali, English, Hindi, Kannada, Marathi, Tamil and Telugu, Koo enables people from across India to express themselves online in their mother tongues. In a country where under 10% of the population speaks English as a native language, Koo meets the need for a social media platform that can deliver an immersive language experience to an Indian user, thereby enabling them to connect and interact with each other. The recently introduced ‘Talk to Type’ enables users to leverage the voice assistant to share their thoughts without having to type. In August 2021, Koo crossed 10 million downloads, in just 16 months of launch.

Since June 2021, Koo is available in Nigeria.
