(Immediate Start) DevOps Engineer

About Kaitongo

Kaitongo is a Canadian GPT-powered Market Intelligence startup helping client-facing professionals stay ahead with relevant market insights and credible, personalized engagement. Our platform blends domain data, advanced AI, and engineering to deliver intelligence that drives business relationships.

We’re now looking for a DevOps Engineer to take full ownership of our infrastructure — scaling and securing the systems that power our AI and data-driven products.

Role Overview

As a DevOps Engineer, you’ll lead the design, automation, and monitoring of Kaitongo’s hybrid infrastructure across Hetzner bare-metal (RKE2 / Kubernetes) and AWS.

You’ll manage Kubernetes clusters, Docker-based workloads (build, harden, publish), AWS serverless (10+ Lambdas), CI / CD (Bitbucket Pipelines), and critical data infra (PostgreSQL + PgBouncer, OpenSearch, Weaviate, Redis) with a strong focus on security and cost efficiency.

You’ll work closely with backend, data, and AI engineers to ensure deployments are fast, stable, and secure.

This is a hands-on role with high autonomy and a chance to shape DevOps practices from the ground up.
