DevOps Engineer

At Tecton, we solve the complex data problems in production machine learning. Tecton’s feature platform makes it simple to activate data for smarter models and predictions, abstracting away the complex engineering to speed up innovation.

Tecton’s founders developed the first Feature Store when they created Uber’s Michelangelo ML platform, and we’re now bringing those same capabilities to every organization in the world.

Tecton is funded by Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, and Kleiner Perkins, along with strategic investments from Snowflake and Databricks. We have a fast-growing team that’s distributed around the world, with offices in San Francisco and New York City. Our team has years of experience building and operating business-critical machine learning systems at leading tech companies like Uber, Google, Meta, Airbnb, Lyft, and Twitter.

As a member of Tecton’s Infrastructure Engineering DevOps team, you will contribute to and own the foundation for building, automating, and scaling Tecton. You will leverage your experience with cloud architectures, distributed systems, containerization technologies (Kubernetes), and Linux system internals to design, build, and maintain our multi-cloud deployments, ensure our systems are secure in-depth, and work closely with the rest of Tecton’s Infrastructure Engineering team to scale and optimize our core compute and online serving systems.

Prior experience with machine learning is not required. We are looking for exceptional DevOps, infrastructure, and software engineers who are driven to find simple solutions to complex challenges. You'll be at the intersection of design, engineering, and operational processes.
