Co-founded in 2023 by Joe Laws and Grant Verstandig, Trase Systems is AI, Uncomplicated. Trase empowers enterprise leaders to harness the full potential of AI without the associated complexity and risks. We are an end-to-end solution for deploying, managing, and optimizing AI in the enterprise. Our platform specializes in bridging the “last mile” of AI adoption, unlocking AI's full potential while driving efficiency and significant cost savings. Trase is at the forefront of AI Agent innovation, topping the Hugging Face GAIA Leaderboard for Generalized AI Assistants, ahead of industry giants such as Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI. We are leveraging our cutting-edge technologies to develop mission-critical agentic applications in complex industries such as Healthcare, Oil & Gas, and National Security.
As a Senior or Staff DevOps Engineer at Trase, you will build, deploy, and operate the infrastructure supporting Red Cell Federal and Red Cell Partners’ incubations and portfolio companies. You will join Trase's dedicated RCF/RCP support team, with a strong focus on federal, government, and national security programs.
Red Cell Partners is an investment and incubation firm that builds and supports technology companies, including Trase. Red Cell Federal is our federal-focused partner within that ecosystem. This role helps RCF and other RCP partner companies adopt and operate Trase OS in their own environments.
This is a hands-on engineering role spanning partner onboarding, Kubernetes, infrastructure as code, secure releases, observability, and production support. You will work directly with partner engineers, Trase's dedicated software engineers and TPM, Platform Engineering, and GRC to turn requirements into validated deployments and dependable operations.
The level will reflect the candidate's experience and demonstrated scope. Senior engineers will independently deliver and support complex partner deployments. Staff engineers will also lead architecture across partner environments, establish reusable standards, and mentor engineers.
RCF and RCP companies need secure, repeatable deployments across commercial and government cloud, private networks, and on-premises infrastructure. Their requirements span installation, integrations, hardening, upgrades, incident response, and ongoing vulnerability remediation.
This role provides dedicated engineering ownership from environment readiness through sustained operations. You will make deployments easier to install, validate, upgrade, and support, while turning recurring partner needs into reusable capabilities with Trase's platform team.
Up to 20% travel may be required.
