Sr. DevOps / AI Engineer

Are you ready to shape the future of authentication? Join 1Kosmos and help lead the next wave in identity assurance and passwordless innovation.

1Kosmos is driving the future of identity security, empowering organizations to eliminate passwords and establish trust at every step of the identity lifecycle. As a vibrant team of innovators, we develop advanced authentication solutions trusted by some of the world’s leading brands. Join us as we create a passwordless world and set new standards for digital identity assurance.

Your primary responsibilities are to design, build and scale solutions that power our custom agent/LLM integrations for our most important customers. You will also help scale complex workloads like building agents, LLM Orchestration, vector databases, and event-driven systems.

This will involve automating our processes, ensuring system reliability, integrating CI/CD pipelines, and collaborating closely with engineering and product teams to optimize the delivery of our cutting-edge solutions. You will be instrumental in bridging the gap between development and operations, fostering a culture of collaboration and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and manage CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment of applications.
• Build internal developer platforms solutions that streamline CI/CD, environment provisioning, and observability across teams.
• Monitor systems and applications for performance, availability, and reliability, troubleshooting and resolving issues as they arise.
• Develop automation scripts (Python, Bash, Go) to streamline the entire lifecycle of custom integration services, from creation to decommissioning.
• Architect for fault tolerance, auto-scaling, and zero-downtime deployments for distributed microservices and AI pipelines.
• Manage a Kubernetes, Helm, and service mesh (istio) environment tailored for hosting a multitude of diverse integration services, focusing on security, isolation, and resource management, and resiliency
• Collaborate with development teams to improve software deployment and development processes.
• Manage infrastructure in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI) and ensure best practices for security and performance.
• Build and optimize agents, LLM workflows, caching strategies, and retrieval pipelines for low-latency inference.
• Own and extend Terraform/Crossplane configurations to standardize provisioning across environments.
• Prepare and maintain documentation of systems, processes, and configurations.
• Stay up to date with the latest DevOps tools, techniques, and trends to support continuous improvement in our operations.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

• 5+ years of experience in a DevOps role or similar capacity.
• Strong experience with major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, or OCI).
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Bash, or Go.
• Proven experience creating flexible CI pipelines with tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Harness, and CD/GitOps workflows with tools like Argo CD.
• Extensive hands-on with containerization and orchestration, specifically Kubernetes, Helm, and Docker.
• Strong proficiency in Infrastructure as Code tools (Terraform highly preferred; Pulumi, CloudFormation, or similar)
• Exposure to AI/ML or data-intensive systems, including model serving, vector databases, or RAG pipelines.
• Knowledge of networking, service mesh, and security controls in production environments.
• Experience with monitoring tools (Grafana, New Relic, Datadog) and incident response.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and a proactive attitude towards improving processes.
• Strong debugging and performance tuning skills; ability to reason about failure modes and resilience.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in identifying and implementing security best practices in a DevOps environment.
• Knowledge of database technologies (SQL, NoSQL) and associated best practices.
• Background in Agile methodologies and working in Agile teams.

Benefits

• Cutting-Edge Tech Stack: Build with decentralized identity protocols, FedRamp High, FIDO2-certified cryptography, and NIST-compliant biometric systems. 

• Accelerated Growth: Receive annual stipends for certifications and attend key conferences like Identiverse or EIC.
• Ownership & Impact: We move fast and will enable you to make a big impact with large customers in US & Canada.
• Flexibility First: Unlimited PTO, and 2 days WFH
