DevOps Engineer at Altium

About the role:

The DevOps Engineer on the Duro Design team builds and operates the infrastructure platform that enables hardware engineers to ship with confidence every day. You’ll own the environments, pipelines, clusters, and databases that power our modern stack—ensuring everything is scalable, secure, and reliable. This role partners closely with engineering, security, and product teammates in a fast-moving, highly autonomous environment.

We’re looking for engineers who think in systems, embrace automation, and leverage modern AI-powered workflows to deliver resilient, production-grade infrastructure. This is a hybrid role based in Los Angeles, CA (3 days per week in office).

A day in the life of our DevOps Engineer:

Environment Ownership: Provision and manage multi-tenant and dedicated customer environments on AWS using DuploCloud, ensuring isolation, scalability, and reliability.

CI/CD Engineering: Design, optimize, and maintain GitHub Actions pipelines to enable fast, reliable daily deployments with tight feedback loops.

Kubernetes Operations: Deploy, scale, and troubleshoot production Kubernetes clusters, managing autoscaling policies, resource allocation, and health monitoring.

Database Reliability: Own PostgreSQL operations including provisioning, migrations, backups, replication, performance tuning, and disaster recovery strategies.

Infrastructure as Code: Build and maintain reproducible, version-controlled infrastructure using Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes manifests.

Security Implementation: Partner with SecOps and CISO leadership to implement encryption policies, IAM configurations, VPC segmentation, logging, monitoring, and compliance-driven infrastructure controls across AWS and GovCloud.

Observability & Monitoring: Establish dashboards, alerts, and runbooks to maintain high availability and reduce incident frequency and recovery time.

AI-Driven Infrastructure Engineering: Leverage AI-augmented workflows to generate infrastructure modules, refine deployment scripts, and accelerate operational improvements while maintaining rigorous validation standards.

Continuous Improvement: Evaluate and integrate new tooling, improve provisioning strategies, and evolve infrastructure to support scale, compliance, and long-term system resilience.

Who We’re Looking For

Required:

• 7+ years of professional experience in DevOps, infrastructure engineering, or site reliability engineering with hands-on production ownership
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent practical experience)
• Deep expertise in AWS (EC2, EKS/ECS, RDS, S3, IAM, VPC, CloudWatch) including experience in commercial and GovCloud environments
• Strong Kubernetes experience managing clusters in production environments
• Hands-on PostgreSQL operational experience including migrations, backup/recovery, replication, and performance tuning
• Experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines, particularly GitHub Actions
• Infrastructure as code proficiency with Terraform and containerization tools such as Docker
• Strong systems thinking and ability to design scalable, secure, and maintainable infrastructure platforms
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Comfort operating in autonomous, fast-paced environments
• A service-oriented mindset focused on enabling engineering teams to ship quickly and safely

Nice to Have:

• Experience with DuploCloud or similar tenant management platforms
• Experience building infrastructure for PLM, PDM, or hardware/manufacturing industry software
• Background supporting on-premises or compliance-driven deployments
• Familiarity with event-driven systems (NATS, Redis, Kafka)
• Experience with observability tools such as Datadog, PostHog, or Sentry
• Knowledge of compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, FedRAMP, or ITAR
• Experience implementing zero-downtime deployment strategies

How We Build

We don’t just ship features. We build platforms that make shipping inevitable.

At Duro, AI is integrated into our engineering workflows. Engineers leverage AI-powered development environments to orchestrate tasks, structure infrastructure context, and accelerate delivery while maintaining high standards of operational excellence.

We value:

Architectural intuition — understanding distributed systems before implementing them

Precision in communication — clear infrastructure design produces reliable systems

Pattern recognition — knowing when to abstract, automate, or simplify

Operational discipline — building systems that are observable, resilient, and self-healing

Intellectual curiosity — continuously improving how we build and scale

We optimize for engineers who can design infrastructure that fades into the background—enabling teams to deploy daily without friction, uncertainty, or operational drag.

Compensation

The salary range for this role is $150,000 to $160,000 annually. Actual compensation packages within this range are based on a wide array of factors unique to each candidate and role requirements, including but not limited to skill set, years and depth of experience, certifications, and specific location.
