About the role
Description
As a DevOps Engineer at Veeqo, you will be in charge of continuously improving the resiliency and security of the systems that make Veeqo's products and features possible. You will work with several teams of talented software engineers in multiple locations, and build tooling and infrastructure that improves their ability to meet our high standards for operational excellence. This role is a good fit for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment and is both creative and technical.
Key job responsibilities
Collaborate with 5 product engineering teams (2PTs) who depend on shared infrastructure
A day in the life
You start the day triaging alerts and monitoring dashboards. If on-call, you're first responder for production issues.
Mid-morning is infrastructure delivery: provisioning resources, writing Infrastructure-as-Code, or reviewing change management plans.
After lunch, you're helping product teams debug deployment failures, identifying root causes, and adding automation to prevent recurrence.
Later, you prepare your own production changes (patching, upgrading, or scaling) with proper testing, documentation, and peer approval.
No two days are identical. Some are project-heavy, others operationally heavy. The constant: end-to-end ownership. You design it, build it, deploy it, and operate it.
