Jobs at Tellius (Now Hiring) — 6 open

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to own the infrastructure that powers Tellius at scale. This isn't a maintenance role — it's a builder role. You will be responsible for the reliability, performance, and security of the cloud and Kubernetes infrastructure that our AI agents, analytical engines, and enterprise customer deployments run on, 24/7.

As we scale our agentic platform — including AI workloads, LLM-backed investigation pipelines, and high-throughput data processing — the infrastructure underneath needs to be bulletproof. You will set architectural direction, drive automation, and ensure our platform can grow without breaking.

This is a senior, hands-on position. You will partner closely with engineering, QA, and product teams to make releases faster and safer — and you will mentor junior engineers, raising the bar on operational standards across the team.

Strengthen network security, load balancing, and TLS management across production systems

Collaboration & Leadership

Mentor junior DevOps engineers through code review, pairing, and documentation. Collaborate with engineering and QA to streamline release cycles and improve delivery velocity. Own production incidents, root-cause analysis, and long-term reliability improvements
