Job description

ABOUT POINT ONE NAVIGATION Point One Navigation is on a mission to bridge the digital and physical worlds through precision location. Our RTK Corrections Network and Positioning Engine deliver centimeter-level accuracy and high-confidence positioning for vehicles, robots, drones, and devices across industries. We’re API-first, developer-focused, and pushing the boundaries of autonomy and automation. ROLE OUTCOME Senior DevOps Engineers own the infrastructure, automation, and deployment systems that keep Point One’s services running reliably at scale - from the cloud and on-premise environments to the CI/CD pipelines and observability stack that the entire engineering team depends on. This is an ownership-first role: you will build and operate the infrastructure that serves real-time corrections to hundreds of thousands of devices in the field, spanning cloud and bare-metal environments, with the availability and repeatability that mission-critical positioning demands. The infrastructure you own is the foundation every other team builds on. This role is responsible for keeping it automated, observable, secure, and scalable: provisioning and managing environments as code, hardening deployment pipelines, and ensuring the network stays healthy as new regions, reference stations, and customers come online. SUCCESS IN THIS ROLE MEANS: - Infrastructure is provisioned, configured, and managed as code - reproducible, version-controlled, and easy to evolve. - Deployments are automated, safe, and fast, giving engineers confidence to ship frequently. - Services run reliably across all hosted environments, even under load and partial failure. - Observability is comprehensive - the team catches and resolves issues before customers feel them. - Infrastructure decisions reflect a deep understanding of real-world constraints - reliability, scale, security, and cost. - Engineers across the company are unblocked by self-service tooling, clear processes, and well-maintained environments. IMMEDIATE AREAS OF FOCUS Own Infrastructure as Code - Provision and manage cloud, on-premise, and bare-metal infrastructure using Terraform and SaltStack configuration management. - Build reproducible, version-controlled environments that are easy to stand up, evolve, and tear down. - Break down high-level goals into concrete tasks, schedules, and milestones, and hold yourself accountable for delivering against them. - Ensure infrastructure is well-structured, documented, and built to last as the product and customer base grow. Automate Deployment and Delivery - Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins) that make shipping fast, safe, and repeatable. - Containerize services with Docker and orchestrate them with Kubernetes across environments. - Drive improvements in build, test, and release workflows so engineers can deliver with confidence. - Standardize deployment patterns and reduce toil through tooling and automation. Operate Reliable Systems - Own observability - metrics, logging, tracing, and alerting (Prometheus, Grafana) - so issues are caught and resolved before customers feel them. - Design for high availability, graceful degradation, and recovery across cloud and on-premise environments. - Identify and resolve infrastructure bottlenecks and reliability risks early, particularly as traffic and scale grow. - Participate in on-call rotation and lead incident response, drive root-cause analysis, and follow through on durable fixes. Support the Engineering Team - Build self-service tooling and clear processes that unblock engineers and reduce friction. - Collaborate with backend, embedded, firmware, and customer-facing teams to deliver reliable end-to-end systems. - Surface infrastructure risks and tradeoffs early so architecture and delivery decisions reflect real-world constraints. - Follow security and access-management best practices across infrastructure, secrets, and deployment pipelines. QUALIFICATIONS - Proven professional experience (5+ years) in DevOps, SRE, infrastructure, or platform engineering. - Proven ability to provision and operate production infrastructure - from setup through deployment and on-call ownership. - Proven ability to decompose high-level goals into actionable tasks, realistic schedules, and clear milestones - with a track record of delivering on commitments. - Hands-on experience with AWS cloud. - Strong experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform). - Experience with containers (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) in production. - Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions). - Experience with observability and monitoring tooling (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana). - Comfortable scripting and automating in any general-purpose language. - Solid understanding of networking, Linux systems, and security fundamentals. Bonus Points For - Experience with programming languages (Go, Java, Python, Node). - Experience operating hybrid cloud and on-premise / bare-metal fleets at scale. - Background in highly available or mission-critical systems. - Experience supporting real-time or low-latency services. - Experience with distributed and clustered data stores (e.g., ScyllaDB, PostgreSQL) - Experience with security and compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2). OUR CULTURAL FOUNDATION At Point One, our cultural and operating design is built around one guiding principle: we must move with extreme speed and efficiency of effort to stay in a leadership position. This environment gives people a high level of autonomy and the ability to make a real impact. It also challenges every team member to grow — both professionally and personally. Because we focus on promoting from within rather than relying on external hiring, the opportunities for advancement are tremendous for those who seek them. That said, growth only comes from delivering in the present. What matters most is the job to be done today, not the job you want tomorrow. When we all focus on today’s outcomes with excellence, the path to greater responsibility and growth naturally follows. We think about our culture in two dimensions: HOW WE SHOW UP EVERY DAY These are the behaviors we expect every team member to bring to work — the foundation of being a consummate, high-output teammate: - Trust / Assume Best Intent — Trust allows us to move fast. When we start from trust, we spend no time second-guessing or looking for ulterior motives and thus focus all our energy on acting. - High Output, Action Oriented — Our default posture is “yes.” We bias toward action and deliver results quickly, knowing that speed and efficiency compound into impact as we unblock others around us. - Divine Discontent — We’re never satisfied with the status quo and are self-motivated to improve ourselves, our work, and our company. We actively seek feedback in real-time to shorten improvement cycles. - No Ego, One Team — Collaboration without ego creates leverage. When we win as one team, we eliminate friction and move faster together. - Self Accountability — Taking ownership is the straightest line to learning, self-improvement, and correcting our course of action. And blaming others around us is a fast path to destroying trust. OPERATING PRINCIPLES These are the systems and norms that amplify speed and efficiency at the company level: - Edge Innovation — We bias toward action over approval. Experiment, decide, and move — failure is just a step toward faster learning. - No Hierarchies — We practice self-prioritization and go direct to the source. Flattening layers reduces drag and maximizes autonomy. - Customer Experience First — We optimize for the end-to-end customer outcome, not functional or departmental efficiency. This focus cuts waste, aligns priorities, and ensures we spend effort where it matters most. If this role sounds like a fit, we’d love to hear from you. Apply below and join us in shaping the future of precise location.
