DevOps Engineer @ umanitek

Opis delovnega mesta

The Umanitek Guardian Agent protects people from deepfakes and digital impersonation by combining Decentralized Knowledge Graphs (DKG) with perceptual intelligence. If you are excited by the idea of building resilient infrastructure and operational systems for agents that reason, not just predict, you will feel right at home.

As a DevOps Engineer, you will focus on designing, building, and operating the infrastructure that powers the Guardian Agent ecosystem. This role sits at the intersection of DevOps and backend engineering, with a clear emphasis on infrastructure, reliability, automation, and observability, rather than feature-heavy application development.

You will work closely with backend and full-stack engineers to support REST API and MCP-based services, DKG Node runtimes, cloud functions, scheduled workers and agent tooling, ensuring they are deployed, monitored, scalable, and production-ready. You will own CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, monitoring, alerting, scalability and uptime across multiple environments, while contributing selectively to backend services, APIs, and automation code where needed.

This is a hands-on role where ownership, systems thinking, and deep operational responsibility matter. You will help ensure that Guardian services are secure, observable, highly available, and easy for the team to evolve.

Od kandidatov zahtevamo

Technical experience that is most relevant to us:
- 4+ years of professional experience in a DevOps, Platform Engineer, Backend Engineer, or Infrastructure Engineer role
- Strong experience operating production systems in cloud environments (AWS, GCP, and/or DigitalOcean)
- Solid experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions)
- Experience with infrastructure automation and infrastructure-as-code concepts
- Strong experience deploying and operating containerized services using Docker
- Experience implementing monitoring, logging, and alerting (Grafana, Loki, metrics-based observability)
- Experience running backend services and APIs (Node.js, Express, REST) from an operational perspective
- Strong knowledge about databases and stateful services from an infrastructure and reliability standpoint
- Comfort writing JavaScript / TypeScript for automation, scripting, or occasional API or MCP tool development
- Strong networking and systems troubleshooting skills

Technical experience that is nice to have:
- Experience with Kubernetes or managed container orchestration platforms
- Exposure to Model Context Protocol (MCP) tooling or agent-based systems
- Experience operating distributed or decentralized systems
- Familiarity with AI or LLM-powered systems in production
- Experience with advanced monitoring, alerting, or uptime
- Familiarity with Web3 or decentralized infrastructure (blockchain) concepts
- Experience supporting multi-cloud or hybrid environments
- Exposure to monorepo tooling such as Turborepo

O podjetju

Umanitek is a Swiss AI and data infrastructure company building systems to reduce AI-driven harm at scale. We operate at the intersection of large language models, social platforms, and digital identity, focusing on risks that cannot be solved by any single platform alone, hallucinations, impersonation, coordinated abuse, and content misuse, while preserving privacy and jurisdictional boundaries.

Our core product, the Guardian Agent, continuously monitors how individuals, brands, and organizations appear across LLMs and social platforms. It detects misrepresentation, fake accounts, deepfakes, and coordinated narrative attacks, computes live risk scores, and generates cryptographically verifiable evidence showing when content appeared, how it spread, and how it evolved. Guardian runs on decentralized infrastructure that allows platforms and institutions to signal and verify harmful content without sharing raw data, enabling fast takedowns, corrections, and enforcement without compromising privacy or competition.

Zakaj bi želel delati za vas

We are solving problems that are technically hard and structurally unsolved: hallucinations, impersonation, coordinated abuse, and misinformation embedded directly into AI systems, where privacy, jurisdiction, and scale actually matter. You work with people who have already built companies and shipped complex systems, in an environment with high standards, real ownership, and freedom to push ideas into production. You shape the product, the architecture, and the direction of the company from day one. Think American-scale ambition, built in Europe, with the goal of defining how AI safety is actually done.
