About the role

  • What if, instead of just vibe coding, you could vibe-work?

Responsibilities

  • Own CI/CD pipelines: optimize build times, improve caching, reduce flakiness
  • Build and harden the infrastructure behind model serving, inference, and agent tooling-not just the app layer around them
  • Build alerting that catches actual problems and ignores noise
  • build and deploy pipelines where rolling back and forth is trivial, model-serving and inference infrastructure that holds up under real AI workloads, and the observability to know what's actually happening in a system that's non-deterministic by nature.
  • If you're excited to build infrastructure that enables others-human and agent-to do their best work, join us.

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience with observability tools: OpenTelemetry, Datadog, Dash0, Braintrust, distributed tracing, metrics, structured logging

Nice to have

  • A personal or self-directed infra track record: side projects, homelabs, open-source infra tooling, published writing or talks-signal of genuine intrinsic interest, not just job history
  • Security chops: IAM, zero-trust, secrets management
  • SRE practices: SLOs, SLIs, error budgets, chaos engineering
  • Cost optimization for cloud infrastructure
  • Based in Atlanta (nice to have, not required)
  • You love the talk "Simple Made Easy"
  • Your primary identity is enterprise IT or sysadmin work-help desk, Windows/Linux administration, or network admin
  • Your DevOps experience is Terraform/Kubernetes/CI-CD done in service of a product company (fintech, healthtech, e-commerce, SaaS) rather than infrastructure as the product itself

Skills

  • You've been on-call, and you've built systems that made on-call better
  • You think like a product manager for internal tools, where the product is developer (and agent) productivity
  • Willingness to work hard, move fast, and grow quickly in a rapidly changing environment
  • A humble attitude, an eagerness to help your colleagues, and a desire to do whatever it takes to make the team succeed
  • As Steve Jobs imagined the personal computer as a bicycle for the mind, Obvious imagines AI as a garden for the mind.
  • Less mechanical acceleration.
  • More organic cultivation.
  • What if getting from idea to done wasn't so opaque, stubborn, and high-latency?
  • That's Obvious.
  • That means owning the systems that make every
  • A proven record of exceptional achievements and impact
  • Strong Terraform skills-you've managed real infrastructure as code

Company info

  • model serving, inference infrastructure, agent tooling, eval pipelines, or LLM-ops guardrails-working at an "AI company" alone doesn't count if the infra work itself doesn't show this lens
  • We are small and talent-dense.
