DevOps Engineer

Do work that matters.

At Alert Media, everything we do supports our mission: To save lives and minimize loss by identifying active threats globally and facilitating timely communications when an emergency threatens personal safety and business continuity.

Our core values drive us in our important mission of keeping people safe:

• We’re humans not robots
• Customers always come first
• We work better together
• Simplicity is our strength
• Our reputation is priceless
• Hard work pays off

Alert Media is looking for a Dev Ops Engineer to join our collaborative Engineering team and help us continue to evolve how we build and operate our modern SaaS platform. Our infrastructure is modern and well‑established: containerized applications, Infrastructure as Code, strong observability, and SRE/Dev Ops best practices are part of how we work today. This role will also emphasize how we continue that evolution by finding practical ways to improve reliability, security, efficiency, and developer experience.

This includes the thoughtful adoption of emerging AI‑driven tech, agentic solutions, and automated tooling.

As part of a small, experienced team, you’ll partner closely with other Dev Ops, SDET, and Software Engineers to operate and improve a platform that our customers rely on to keep them safe during critical local, national, and global events.

You are a Dev Ops Engineer with solid experience building and operating services in AWS. You’re comfortable writing Infrastructure as Code, building CI/CD pipelines, and generally managing complex production systems at scale.

You’re also curious and forward‑looking. You pay attention to how AI‑assisted tooling and automation are changing software development and operations, and you’re interested in applying those capabilities where they make sense: improving workflows, reducing troubleshooting and operational effort, and helping teams deliver software more efficiently and safely. You enjoy working in a fast‑paced, collaborative environment and partnering with Engineers across the organization to solve real problems.
