Worth AI, a leader in the computer software industry, is looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to join our Infrastructure team with a singular mission: to make our systems faster, more reliable, and more resilient while making life dramatically easier for engineers shipping software.
This is a hands-on build role. You will spend most of your time writing Terraform, tuning Kubernetes workloads, automating things that are currently manual, and shipping infrastructure changes to production. You'll join a small platform team with an established roadmap and existing patterns, and a strong voice in how the work gets built.
- Implement scalable Infrastructure-as-Code patterns using tools like Terraform to standardize cloud provisioning and reduce configuration drift.
- Own and evolve our Kubernetes platform (EKS or self-managed), ensuring workloads are secure, scalable, and resilient by default.
- Optimize CI/CD pipelines to improve deployment frequency, reduce lead time, and increase confidence in releases.
- Design and enforce secure networking, IAM, and secrets management strategies across environments.
- Improve observability by refining metrics, logs, and tracing using tools like DataDog, ensuring actionable insight into system health.
- Optimize cloud cost efficiency through rightsizing, autoscaling strategies, and architectural improvements.
- Implement disaster recovery planning, backup strategies, and multi-region resilience initiatives.
- Refactor brittle or manually managed infrastructure into automated, testable, and reproducible systems.
- Introduce new infrastructure tooling or architectural shifts and drive adoption through documentation, workshops, and hands-on support.
- Partner with engineering teams to eliminate friction in CI/CD, deployments, and cloud environments.
- Communicate technical trade-offs clearly across engineering and product stakeholders, balancing speed with safety.
- Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS (EKS, RDS, MSK, S3, Lambda, IAM, VPC)
Containerization & Orchestration: Kubernetes, ArgoCD
Infrastructure-as-Code: Terraform
CI/CD: GitHub Actions
Monitoring & Observability: DataDog
Data & Messaging: PostgreSQL, Kafka, Redis
Languages (as needed): Bash, Python, TypeScript, JavaScript
Requirements
- 8+ years in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering.
- Proven experience designing and operating production Kubernetes environments at scale.
- Deep hands-on expertise with AWS infrastructure and cloud networking.
- Strong experience building and maintaining Terraform modules across large cloud environments.
- Demonstrated ownership of CI/CD systems and measurable improvement of DORA metrics.
- Experience leading incident response processes and driving meaningful postmortem outcomes.
- Strong understanding of distributed systems, event-driven architectures (Kafka), and database performance (PostgreSQL).
- Proven ability to modernize legacy infrastructure and eliminate manual operational toil.
- Track record of taking a scoped infrastructure project from an ambiguous starting point to production without needing daily direction.
- Demonstrated ability to build trust across teams while raising the reliability bar.
- System Reliability: Maintain or exceed defined SLO/SLA targets with reduced incident frequency and duration.
- Infrastructure Stability: Reduce production incidents caused by misconfiguration, manual processes, or infrastructure drift.
- Operational Efficiency: Increase the percentage of infrastructure managed through code and automation.
- Cost Optimization: Improve cloud cost efficiency without sacrificing reliability or performance.
- Experience coding applications
- Experience operating high-throughput Kafka clusters (MSK or self-managed).
- Strong background in database performance tuning (PostgreSQL, Redis).
- Experience implementing autoscaling strategies for high-traffic systems.
- Familiarity with service mesh technologies.
- Experience building internal developer platforms (IDP).
- Background in security best practices (zero-trust networking, policy-as-code).
- Experience with multi-region or globally distributed systems.
- Experience introducing platform-wide reliability frameworks (SLOs, error budgets, chaos testing).
All Remote Hires will be required to travel to Orlando, Florida at least twice per year for Town Halls and team collaboration, in addition to orientation in Orlando.

What We Do
Worth is the AI-powered platform that consolidates onboarding, underwriting, and risk monitoring for fintechs, lenders, payment processors, and financial institutions. Founded in 2023, we built Worth to replace slow, manual underwriting with a single system that verifies, scores, and monitors small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in real time. At the center of the platform is Crosswalking Technology. Our proprietary AI/ML models intelligently match businesses across disparate data sources, ensuring the highest level of accuracy and reliability in SMB entity resolution. By integrating multiple first- and third-party authoritative data sources into our crosswalk-matching logic, Worth ensures that businesses are correctly identified, even in cases of duplicate addresses, name variations, or incomplete records. This data moat spans 186 integrations and 25 global and local partners across 200+ countries and territories, resolving fragmented SMB signals into a database of 350M+ SMBs with a 98% data match rate. Our product suite — Worth Pre-Fill, Custom Onboarding, Case Management, Decisioning Engine, Perpetual Risk Monitoring, and Worth Wallet — is available via API, SDK, or fully white-labeled, enabling financial institutions to consolidate their entire onboarding and underwriting stack into one platform. Customers using Worth have increased approval rates by 37%+, reduced application abandonment by 43%+, cut vendor costs by 25%, and reduced time to revenue by 55%+.
