DevOps Engineer

DevOps Engineer COMPANY MISSION: Our mission is to remove friction from selling to the public sector. Pursuit transforms how trillions in public-sector contracts are sought and awarded. We believe the best contractors should win contracts, not just the ones who are most deeply embedded. Pursuit AI scans millions of pages to identify opportunities for companies selling to the public sector. Our customers are companies who sell to the public sector, and we’re selling more pipeline, revenue, and productivity to the GTM organization. OUR CULTURE: At Pursuit, being a Pursuiter means doing work that actually matters—improving government for every citizen. We're an AI-first, top-investor-backed team that moves with urgency, thinks critically, and runs directly at conflict because the best ideas come from uncomfortable conversations. There's no daylight between our customers' success and ours, so you'll own high-impact projects that redefine public-sector engagement while working at the intersection of AI and growth. We're accountable to each other, ship fast (check our seasonal releases), and grow in dog years. We're remote-first but gather regularly for company offsites because Zoom bonding only goes so far, and some of our best ideas happen over tacos in Mexico or wherever we land next. If you want to build something genuinely innovative while simplifying what others overcomplicate, you've found your people! OUR VALUES: Our values define how we work, innovate, and connect with our customers and partners. - Customer Focus: There is no daylight between our customers’ success and our own success. - Critical Thinking: Break issues down into their atomic units. Focus on what matters; simplify. What's right, not who's right. Be honest with yourself. We openly acknowledge when we're wrong, and improve. - Act with Urgency: Do it now. Shorten cycle times. If a decision is reversible, be 51% sure and pick one. - Run at Conflict: We're comfortable having uncomfortable conversations; we disagree with ideas while respecting the humans. - Accountability: We do what we say and give our maximum effort, and we expect that from everyone on our team. How we do one thing is how we do anything. - Think Long Term: Choose the best answer in the long run. Do not take shortcuts. WHO YOU ARE: We are hiring a DevOps Engineer to own and evolve Pursuit's infrastructure — maintaining SOC 2 compliance, scaling our vector search and document processing systems, and building the AI-powered development infrastructure that enables our engineering team to operate at 10x. You'll transform how we build software by enabling AI agents to safely and securely spin up environments, run tests, and ship code in parallel. You will report directly to the CoFounder & CTO Brandon Max and will work with team members cross functionally. Pursuit’s founders have successfully built a startup and sold it for $200M; we move fast and adapt continuously. WHAT YOU’LL DO: BUILD AI-POWERED DEVELOPMENT INFRASTRUCTURE - Build infrastructure that enables Claude Code and other AI agents to spin up isolated, ephemeral environments on demand - Create secure sandboxing for AI-driven development — agents can safely execute code, run tests, and provision resources without human intervention - Enable parallel execution of AI agent workflows across multiple environments with automated provisioning and teardown - Implement cost management and resource controls for AI-initiated infrastructure - Integrate AI workflows with existing CI/CD pipelines on ECS and Fargate LEAD INFRASTRUCTURE & RELIABILITY PROJECTS - Maintain and evolve our fully Terraformed AWS infrastructure — ECS, Fargate, and supporting services - Manage vector search database infrastructure at scale, ensuring high availability and performance for our core product - Operate and optimize S3-based document storage containing millions of documents and terabytes of government contract data - Ensure infrastructure rel ...
