Associate DevOps Engineer

The Role

Nitro is an AI-native data platform that democratizes life sciences data for non-technical commercial teams, turning fragmented HCP/HCO, prescription, and industry data into decisions the field can act on. Our team is seeking an Associate DevOps Engineer to support our business consulting team’s AWS and Kubernetes analytics infrastructure as part of the broader NitroAI Team. You'll work alongside the team keeping this platform reliable and secure, with real ownership over the pieces you run day to day. This role needs solid technical fundamentals, but just as important is a customer-service mindset: you'll be supporting internal engineering teams directly, so how you communicate, troubleshoot with empathy, and show up when something's broken matters as much as the fix itself. 

What You'll Do

Support day-to-day operation of the AWS and Kubernetes platform — monitoring reliability and performance, flagging issues before they become incidents for 50 person global consulting team
Build & Maintain GitOps deployments: sync policies, deployment ordering, configuration management
Support CI/CD pipelines: maintain GitLab pipelines and runners, help engineering teams troubleshoot failed builds and deployments
Act as first responder on platform incidents: triage, escalate, and help document post-mortems
Maintain platform observability: monitoring, alerting, and log visibility
Migrate 50 person business consulting team onto a new AI native stack
Support the building of our new AI native application NitroAI to learn Veeva methodology

Requirements

1+ years hands-on experience with AWS and Kubernetes
Working knowledge of GitLab CI/CD, including runner management and Bash scripting for deployment tasks
Familiarity with GitOps practices (ArgoCD or similar)
Exposure to Terraform or another infrastructure-as-code tool
Strong communication skills and a customer-service mindset — you're supporting people, not just infrastructure
Comfortable being accountable to other engineers who are blocked and waiting on you

Nice to Have

EKS/Kubernetes RBAC and IRSA experience
Broader AWS fluency: Lambda, ALB, WAF, CloudFront, Secrets Manager, Route53, KMS, ECR
Apache Airflow experience via MWAA
Proficiency with Claude Code
Exposure to compliance/security-baseline work
