Our clients come to us for results, quality and craft - and stay because we keep raising the bar. We Do Things Differently at Lateral Our mission is simple: design and build great products. What sets us apart isn’t just the talent of our team - it’s the way we work: We Have A Bias For Action & Results. We are doers - we spot the gaps, connect the dots, anticipate what’s around the corner and take action. We move fast, stay focused, and let the results - not the effort - speak for themselves. We Work On Time, On Budget, On Quality Discipline is our edge - a commitment we make to each other, to our clients, and to the standards we hold ourselves to. We Care Deeply. We care about our work and about each other. Care Is A Competitive Advantage. Every detail matters. Every design, every line of code, every decision. Thoughtful by default. We Do Things Right - Because It’s the Right Thing to Do Right over easy. Integrity isn’t up for negotiation. We hold the bar high even when no one’s watching. We take pride in doing great work the right way - not the easy way. We Keep Improving The best teams keep improving and we’re never done learning. We iterate. We reflect on what’s working and what’s not. Feedback fuels us, we receive it openly, and adapt quickly. Progress over perfection. We’re Obsessed With Agility, Not The Agile Manifesto We don’t chase dogma or rituals - we chase momentum. We adapt processes to fit problems, not the other way around. We Take Ownership Everyone leads something here. You will have room to run with ideas, and the trust to execute. That trust is built on how you show up: thinking things through, sweating the details, and following through. What You'll Do As a Senior DevOps Engineer at Lateral, you will ensure the systems we build are scalable, secure, observable, and resilient, while enabling our engineering teams to move quickly with confidence. You’ll combine reliability engineering, automation, cloud architecture, and strong judgment to keep our clients’ environments healthy and safe. You will: Take ownership of cloud infrastructure across Azure and AWS - with responsibility for uptime, performance, security, and scalability. Build Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using tools like Terraform, Pulumi, CloudFormation, ARM/Bicep, or similar. Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines enabling safe, fast, and repeatable deployments. Implement SRE best practices: monitoring, alerting, observability, incident response, root-cause analysis, and ongoing reliability improvements. Automate operational tasks to reduce manual work, improve reliability, and increase engineering velocity. Perform environment hardening, secret management, identity and access management, network configuration, and secure cloud patterns. Proactively identify risks, gaps, and bottlenecks and fix them before they become incidents. Collaborate with engineering teams to architect cloud solutions that balance reliability, speed, and cost efficiency. Participate in on-call rotations (sensible, fair, and well-scoped) as needed for reliability-sensitive projects. Communicate clearly with internal stakeholders and occasionally with clients, explaining technical decisions, tradeoffs, and mitigation plans. Whatever the challenge, you’ll be building software that changes lives and moves industries forward. We measure success through: Evaluating results (what you’ve shipped) Quality and reliability of your code. Consistency in delivery. Feedback from peers and leads. Your ability to work independently and unblock others. What We’re Looking For Team members who are both highly technical and care deeply about their craft and how the work gets done. We’re looking for a senior, trusted operator with deep cloud experience and an SRE mindset. You must bring: Proven experience in DevOps or SRE roles supporting modern cloud-native systems at scale. Strong cloud expertise - especially with AWS and Azure; cloud certifications strongly preferred (AWS Solutions Architect, AWS DevOps Engineer, Azure DevOps Engineer Expert, Azure Solutions Architect, etc.). Strong Infrastructure as Code experience (Terraform ideal; Pulumi/CloudFormation/ARM also welcome). Expertise in building and owning CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, etc.). Experience implementing and operating monitoring, logging, metrics, alerting, and full observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, ELK/EFK, Datadog, etc.). Strong understanding of security, networking, identity, container orchestration, and cloud architecture. A reliability-first mindset: eliminate toil, automate everything possible, design for failure, measure everything. Excellent communication skills: you can explain risks, incidents, tradeoffs, and architecture clearly to both technical and non-technical people. High integrity and sound judgment: you will be trusted deeply; reliability and discretion matter more than any tool or technology. Why You’ll Love Working Here Real Impact: You’ll work on meaningful products that make a measurable difference - from healthcare and commerce to sustainability and next-gen tech. Remote-First, Office Friendly: Work from wherever you’re most productive - whether that’s your home, a co-working space, or one of our offices. We’re a remote-first company, but if you’re near an office, you’re welcome to drop in, collaborate in person, or work onsite regularly. We prioritize async collaboration, respect your time zone, and focus on outcomes over hours. An Outstanding Team: Talented, kind, and hard-working people who care deeply about their craft - and about each other. No egos. No politics. Just professionals doing their best work. Growth: You’ll be supported in growing your craft, exploring new paths, and stepping into greater responsibility - at your own pace A Culture of Excellence: We care deeply about doing the right thing - for our clients, our team, and ourselves. No burnout. No crunch. Just high-quality work, delivered sustainably. Variety & Stability: We’re profitable, independent, and over a decade strong. Yet every project brings a fresh challenge. You’ll never be bored here. This Role Might Not Be for You We want to respect your time by being clear about what this role isn’t. You should skip this opportunity if: You prefer well defined structure. If you gravitate towards a clear hierarchy, well defined roles and swim lanes, you may find our self-managed style challenging. Distributed work isn’t your thing. If you find async communication, design documentation and being proactive without a manager nearby difficult, our setup won’t suit you. Feedback doesn't excite you. We’re obsessed with quality and believe in continuous improvement. That means we give feedback that’s sometimes nitpicky. If refining the work until it’s excellent feels over the top, you are likely going to find working here frustrating. Change makes you uncomfortable. We’re scaling and maturing. That means not everything is perfect yet. Priorities shift. Processes evolve. If ambiguity is uncomfortable, this may feel bumpy. However, If this sounds like fuel, we’d love to talk! How to apply and what to expect in the interview process Our hiring process is structured as a sequence of steps. Moving forward is based on how well the previous step goes. This helps us stay focused, fair, and respectful of everyone’s time. We will always: Let you know clearly what the next step is Share updates and feedback wherever possible Invite questions if anything feels unclear Not everyone progresses through every stage. That doesn’t mean you’re not great at what you do. Sometimes it’s about timing, team fit, or simply what we’re looking for at the moment. Step 1: Express Your Interest If this sounds like your kind of team and you’re ready to bring your craft to Lateral, we want to hear from you. Please send us: Your resume A short note about what excites you about this role Links to your work: GitHub/ Code snippets, portfolio, architecture /design docs, blog posts, or anything that shows us how you think and build Please don’t include anything sensitive or proprietary. If you’re sharing team projects, let us know what your specific contributions were. We review every application with care. If there’s a fit, we’ll reach out to schedule next steps. Step 2: Talent Partner Conversation Purpose: A structured discussion with our People Experience team to delve into your career trajectory, motivations, and alignment with Lateral's values. What to Expect: In-depth questions about your past experiences and decision-making processes. Exploration of your career goals and how they align with the role.

What to Expect: Problem-solving exercises/questions that mirror tasks you'd encounter in the position. Discussions around your approach, reasoning, and solutions. Preparation Tips: Practice articulating your thought process clearly and concisely. Be prepared to discuss in depth past projects and the technologies used. Step 4: Operational interview Purpose: Understand your approach to prioritizing, collaborating, shipping, and iterating. What to expect: How you prioritize and break down work. How you collaborate across disciplines. How you handle blockers, feedback, and iteration. Preparation Tips: Pick 1-2 meaningful projects you led or heavily contributed to. Walk through your process: what worked, what didn’t, what you’d do differently. Think about how you manage time, scope, and changing requirements. Step 5: Reference Checks Purpose: We believe references are about understanding, not just validation. We do not look for perfection, but to understand patterns, strengths, and context. We use them to learn how to support you best. What to Expect: we’ll ask you for 2–3 people who’ve worked closely with you. These are often: former managers, senior peers or collaborators, mentors or people you've mentored. What we ask: We focus on how you’ve grown, where you shine, how you like to be led, and what support sets you up for success. We want practical advice for making this a great fit for you. Yes, we do backchannels too: We do this when we feel we need more context. We will check with you if there are folks we should avoid reaching out due to confidentiality or other reasons. And here’s our commitment: if anything surprising or unclear comes up in a backchannel, we’ll bring it directly to you. We believe in “no stories without you in the room.” You’ll always get the chance to share your side, context, or clarification. Step 6: Offer What Happens: If selected, you'll receive a comprehensive offer detailing compensation, and other pertinent information. Our hiring process is designed to be thorough yet respectful, ensuring a mutual fit. We encourage candidates to engage actively, ask questions, and view this as a two-way exploration.
