About the Role As a Senior or Staff DevOps Engineer on Platform Infrastructure, you will design and operate the infrastructure that supports Trase OS across Trase-hosted and customer-controlled environments. You will build secure, repeatable deployment patterns spanning AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, private cloud, hybrid cloud, and on-premises infrastructure. This is a hands-on engineering role with broad ownership. You will work across application packaging, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code (IaC), networking, security, observability, release engineering, and production reliability. You will also partner directly with engineering and customer-facing teams to turn deployment requirements into systems that can be installed, upgraded, operated, and supported consistently. The level will reflect your experience and demonstrated scope. Staff-level candidates will be expected to lead architecture across teams, establish engineering standards, and mentor other engineers. Why this Role is Needed Trase OS supports mission-critical, long-running workflows in environments with different cloud services, network controls, security requirements, and operating models. Our deployment architecture must remain portable without sacrificing reliability, security, or operational clarity. This role will reduce one-off deployment work, remove avoidable dependencies on a single cloud provider, and establish reusable infrastructure that internal teams and customers can operate with confidence. What You'll Do • Architect, build, and operate secure infrastructure across AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, as well as private-cloud, hybrid-cloud, on-premises, and customer-controlled environments. • Containerize and package Trase OS application services using Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, Kustomize, or equivalent tools. • Create reusable infrastructure-as-code (IaC) modules and deployment workflows using Terraform, Pulumi, or comparable tooling. • Design deployment patterns that account for customer-specific requirements such as restricted networks, limited or no egress, approved registries, data residency, and cloud account ownership. • Identify, replace, or abstract hard dependencies on managed cloud services when they prevent portability across deployment environments. • Troubleshoot complex issues across applications, Kubernetes clusters, cloud services, networks, and infrastructure rather than treating platform work as CI/CD scripting alone. • Build and maintain CI/CD and GitOps wor
