Job description

About AngelList:

We exist to accelerate innovation by increasing the number of successful startups in the world. We want to give more people the opportunity to participate in the venture economy by building the financial infrastructure that makes it possible for more people to invest in world changing startups, and build tools for startups that help them run their operations so they can focus on building.

AngelList is the nexus of venture capital and the startup community. We support over $124B+ assets on our platform, and we’ve driven capital to over 12,000 startups, almost 282 of which are unicorns. 57% of top-tier U.S. VC deals involve investors on AngelList.

While our scale is large, our ambitions are even larger – we’re innovating on the financial infrastructure for venture investors and the startups they invest in. Come build with us.

Build the Infrastructure Powering the Future of Private Markets

AngelList is where the startup world meets private capital, and we’re building the most efficient platform for investing in and operating startups. Our infrastructure team is small, fast-moving, and foundational to every product we build. As a Senior Software Engineer (DevOps), you’ll architect and scale the systems that support billions in venture assets and redefine how founders and investors connect.

What You’ll Do

Architect and operate scalable Kubernetes environments that serve as the backbone of our deployment infrastructure

Implement modern CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration, and automation that enable rapid iteration across all engineering teams

Design resilient, secure, and observable systems using Terraform, Pulumi, ArgoCD, and modern SRE practices

Influence infrastructure direction through hands-on contribution, technical leadership, and roadmap planning

Elevate developer experience by improving tooling and workflows across the stack

Contribute to a high-leverage team that enables all engineers to move faster with confidence

What We’re Looking For

Strong programming skills in multiple languages (with Ruby and Rust experience highly valued)

Deep experience with Kubernetes in production environments (this is non-negotiable unless you're a truly exceptional polyglot)

A track record of implementing or overhauling modern, scalable CI/CD systems

Expertise with infrastructure-as-code and cloud-native automation tools (e.g., Terraform, Pulumi, ArgoCD)

Comfort working across AWS and/or GCP cloud platforms

A product-minded engineer who can lead technical initiatives as capably as a full-stack engineer

We’re focused on forward-looking infrastructure, not legacy stack maintenance

Bonus Traits

Experience leading or contributing to open-source projects

Prior experience at a startup, or as a founder, showing self-direction and ownership

A passion for transforming financial access and building for scale

Success in This Role Looks Like

You’ll enable engineering teams to ship faster, safer, and smarter

You’ll drive key decisions in our infrastructure roadmap

You’ll contribute reusable tools and best practices that elevate the org

You’ll help us scale smoothly as we grow the number of funds, users, and transactions on the platform
