Zalion is on a mission to eliminate repetitive procurement work through agentic AI. We’re building autonomous agents that operate deep within enterprise procurement — navigating messy data, legacy systems, and complex workflows to deliver real impact.
**Join us early and help define how enterprise AI is done right.**

**Join us early and help define how enterprise AI is done right.**
## Tasks
You will:
* **Own our platform foundations end-to-end** — from AWS architecture and IaC to CI/CD, observability, and incident readiness.
* Build and evolve **secure, scalable AWS infrastructure** (networking, compute, storage, IAM) optimized for reliability and cost.
* Design and maintain **CI/CD pipelines on GitHub** that are fast, repeatable, and developer-friendly (clear feedback loops, safe deploys, strong defaults).
* Define and operate infrastructure using **Terraform** — with clean modules, sensible standards, and automated validation.
* Improve **developer experience** through golden paths: templates, self-service environments, paved roads for deployments, and internal tooling that removes friction.
* Drive **availability, scalability, and resilience**: deployment strategies, rollbacks, capacity planning, DR thinking, and performance tuning.
* Implement pragmatic **security-by-default**: least privilege IAM, secrets management, secure supply chain, and guardrails that enable speed without compromising safety.
* Establish and refine **observability and reliability practices** (SLOs/SLIs, monitoring, alerting, postmortems, runbooks) that scale with the team.
* Partner closely with product engineering to reduce operational load and keep delivery velocity high as Zalion grows.
## Requirements
* Strong experience as a **Platform / DevOps / Site Reliability Engineer** in product teams shipping to production.
* Deep practical knowledge of **AWS**: networking, IAM, security controls, and designing for failure.
* Hands-on expertise with **Terraform**: modules, state strategy, DRY patterns, environment separation, and automated reviews.
* Solid CI/CD engineering experience with **GitHub**: pipeline design, artifact/versioning, deployment safety, and fast feedback loops.
* A strong mindset for **reliability and operability**: you think in failure modes, automation, and measurable outcomes (SLOs).
* Security awareness and discipline: you build **guardrails** that make the secure path the easy path.
* A **builder mindset**: you ship improvements, measure impact (lead time, deploy frequency, MTTR), and iterate.
* Comfort with **ambiguity and ownership**: you proactively identify platform bottlenecks and fix them without waiting for perfect specs.
* **4+ years** experience in relevant roles (startup/scale-up experience is a plus).
## Benefits
* Build the platform behind agentic AI systems that run in real enterprise environments
* Massive autonomy, zero bureaucracy
* Immediate impact — your work accelerates every engineer and every release
* Modern stack, no legacy constraints
* Competitive salary + meaningful equity
* High-end equipment
**🛠️ Tech Stack You’ll Work With**
* **AWS** (core services; compute, networking, IAM, logging/monitoring, managed data services)
* **Terraform** (modules, workspaces, validation, state management)
* **GitHub** (Actions, CI/CD workflows, checks, release automation)
* Containers orchestration (e.g., **ECS/Fargate** and/or Kubernetes depending on evolution)
* Observability tooling (metrics, logs, tracing; e.g., Grafana/Prometheus/OpenTelemetry and friends)
* Security tooling (SAST/DAST, dependency scanning, secrets scanning, policy as code
