Job Description

Rose Rocket 🚀 is a market leader in Transportation Management Software. We’re a startup going after the $700+ billion dollar trucking industry, leading the shift to SaaS while revolutionizing the way trucking companies sell, service, and innovate. We are a “more human, less corporate” culture that is built around doing work that matters, winning as a team, and celebrating success. We’d love to hear from you if you want to build this with us.

We understand that joining a team is one of the most important decisions you make ❤️, and adding a team member is one of the most important decisions we’ll make. Through our process, we want you to get to know us and understand how you approach problems, learn, and what motivates you.

The opportunity :

We are looking for an experienced Senior DevOps Engineer to join our Engineering team. This role goes beyond traditional DevOps, SRE, and Infrastructure. You'll work on high-impact projects that multiply productivity across our engineering teams and ultimately our customers, increasingly through AI-driven automation and intelligent abstractions.

In this role, you’ll bridge developer experience with low-level infrastructure, building platforms and tools that enable teams to move quickly while maintaining safety, reliability, and scale.

Engineers at Rose Rocket are expected to mentor teammates, set excellent examples, and help guide technical decisions in the right direction. We’re solving exciting challenges : increasing engineering velocity through automation, maintaining SOC 2 security compliance, and building for scale as we grow. If you’re energized by creating leverage and amplifying productivity across an organization, we’d love to connect.

A few technologies we use :

Infrastructure : AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Cloudflare, DataDog

Infrastructure-as-Code : Terraform

Backend : NodeJS, NestJS, Typescript

Frontend : React, Redux, Websockets

CI / CD, GitOps and automation : GitHub Actions, Flux, Flagger

Datastores and pipeline : Postgresql, Redis, DynamoDB, Fivetran, Snowplow

What you bring to the table :

4+ years experience in infrastructure role

Strong communicator

Experience with Kubernetes (cluster management, upgrades, scaling)

Experience with SRE, DevOps, GitOps fundamentals, workflows, automations

AWS expertise (RDS, VPC, IAM, EKS, S3, ElastiCache)

Experience with GitHub Actions and CI / CD pipeline optimization

Database operations experience (PostgreSQL, Redis)

Familiarity with node app development

Experience measuring with observability stacks

AI forward mindset and familiarity with tooling (Claude, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf)

Cost optimization mindset

Understanding of CI paradigms ( Build optimization, Testing Pyramid, Gating)

Experience with CD tools ( Flux, Argo, etc)

Familiarity with agile / lean methodologies

Don’t sweat it if you don’t have everything listed above. We believe in growth and curiosity. If you have some of these qualities and are excited about this opportunity, then we want to hear from you!
