Senior DevOps Engineer
NoeticaA Quick Intro
Noetica is solving critical NLP problems at the heart of a trillion-dollar corporate credit market with an in-house machine learning platform and decades of ML PhD expertise. Founded in 2022 and based in New York, our high caliber team is dedicated to bringing innovation and efficiency to the credit markets.
We count many of the top law firms in the world among our customers.
Last year we closed a $22m round led by Lightspeed and are well capitalized with years of runway.
We’re fortunate to have been covered by Matt Levine, Bloomberg Law, and Business Insider, among others.
The Opportunity
The global corporate credit markets are among the largest capital markets in the world and growing at a rapid pace: the market was valued at $17.6 trillion in 2021 and is projected to reach $47.2 trillion by 2031. Corporate debt transactions are complex. Critical, nuanced legal terms are woven into lengthy documents. These documents must be digested and analyzed by many different parties over the course of a single transaction. This fundamental need plus a booming market drives enormous demand for precise extraction and benchmarking of legal terms.
Why We Need You
As a Senior DevOps Engineer at Noetica, you'll be a key architect and creator of our next-generation of infrastructure; a single-tenant system powering a best-in-class legal benchmarking platform and the engineering and research teams building it. You will collaborate with a talented, cross-functional team of ML PhDs, legal SMEs, data, security, and product engineers, among others. Without your specialized expertise, the team risks slower, riskier deployments, performance bottlenecks, and complexity overload as demand for our data-intensive product suite multiplies. Your role directly impacts our ability to safely and effectively ship critical features by laying a secure and reliable foundation of orchestration, monitoring, and automation.
Here’s What You’ll Be Doing
As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you will:
Build infrastructure with security and data privacy as foundational principles, not afterthoughts.
Develop CI systems that are reliable and modular, making it easy for all engineers to contribute confidently.
Design and build Terraform code that's clean, well-documented, and empowers engineering teams to self-serve their infrastructure needs.
Extend and create reliable monitoring and deployment systems that automate releases safely and reduce the risk of production incidents.
Simplify complex systems into more manageable solutions that are easier to understand and maintain.
Optimize cloud costs through smart autoscaling and efficient resource orchestration based on actual workload patterns.
Work with security engineers to implement access controls that protect our systems while still allowing engineers to be productive.
You Need These Qualifications
A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
6+ years of professional DevOps/SRE/platform engineering experience.
Proficiency with AWS, Kubernetes, and Terraform.
Direct experience building and maintaining single-tenant infrastructure.
Strong experience designing effective CI/CD systems.
Strong communication and collaboration skills.
A self-starting, problem-solving approach biased towards action and scope minimization.
It Would Be Nice If
You have experience implementing monitoring and alerting across isolated environments.
You have experience optimizing infrastructure cost, performance, and resource utilization in data-intensive environments.
You have a strong security background or have worked closely with security teams in the past.
You have experience with disaster recovery exercises and planning.
You are interested in language, law, finance, or economics.
You thrive in a high-leverage, fast-paced environment.
