MNTN is seeking a talented DevOps Engineer to join our dynamic DevOps team. This role is crucial in supporting the MNTN platform and our Engineering teams. The ideal candidate will possess deep knowledge of system administration and AWS, coupled with the ability to collaborate effectively with various Developers. You will play a key role in designing, building, and maintaining our cloud platforms on GCP and AWS, ultimately enabling product engineers to ship faster and with greater confidence.

Responsibilities

• Design, provision, and manage infrastructure across AWS and GCP (EKS, GKE, EC2, IAM, S3, VPC, etc.) using Terraform and GitOps workflows.
• Build internal platform tools and self-service capabilities to reduce friction for engineers and improve reliability.
• Write Python automation scripts and infrastructure tools, integrating with REST APIs, cloud SDKs, and Kubernetes components.
• Create and manage CI/CD pipelines (e.g., ArgoCD, GitHub Actions) to ensure fast, safe, and observable deployments.
• Partner with engineering teams to define infrastructure patterns and provide cost-efficient solutions based on usage and scaling requirements.
• Monitor infrastructure spend and participate in cost analysis, optimization, and FinOps practices to drive better cloud economics.
• Improve observability, alerting, and runbooks for incident response and system health.
• Implement cloud security and compliance best practices, including secrets management and IAM policy design.

Requirements

• 5–8+ years of experience in DevOps, SRE, or Platform Engineering, with production experience in AWS and GCP.
• Strong automation skills, with proficiency in Python programming and scripting, including working with APIs, SDKs, and CLIs.
• Proven experience operating Kubernetes (EKS, GKE) in production, with familiarity with Helm, ArgoCD, and Kustomize.
• Deep expertise in Terraform / OpenTofu and infrastructure-as-code best practices; experience with Terragrunt is a plus.
• Hands-on experience with cloud migrations, hybrid deployments, and designing for provider-agnostic portability.
• Solid understanding of cost modeling, tagging strategies, and cloud cost optimization techniques (FinOps awareness is a plus).
• Familiarity with microservices architectures, service discovery, and containerization workflows.
• A platform mindset: experience building tools, abstractions, or services that improve the daily lives of other developers.
• Strong communication skills and a habit of clear, useful documentation.
