About Buildots
Buildots is revolutionizing the construction sector by introducing advanced AI and Computer Vision technologies into the traditional construction world. Our platform transforms construction sites into digital environments, where data is the key to saving time and minimizing costs.
As we scale toward 100+ engineers and expand across global markets, our infrastructure must move from "functional" to "indestructible." We are looking for a Head of Devops Operations - a strategic leader and department builder who will design a failure-proof architecture and lead the teams that ensure our speed never compromises our stability.
The Mission
We don't need a gatekeeper; we need an enabler. Your mission is to transform infrastructure into a product. Success means our platform is "indestructible" and our developers are self-sufficient. You will lead this evolution by building and scaling The Engine (DevOps) to power seamless delivery, and creating The Shield (SRE) to defend our reliability as we scale.
Your Pillars of Responsibility
1. Strategic Leadership & Org Design
- Build the Department: Evolve our infrastructure org from a centralized service team into a Platform Engineering powerhouse that scales ahead of the business.
- Stakeholder Management: Act as the bridge between R&D, Product, and Finance to ensure infrastructure supports business goals.
- Budget & FinOps: Own the cloud spend and vendor relationships, ensuring our growth is economically sustainable.
2. SRE & Stability (The Shield)
- Failure-Proof Architecture: Design systems where "every rock can fail" without customer impact.
- SLO/SLA Attainment: Define and defend Service Level Objectives. Implement Error Budgets to balance the thirst for features with the necessity of uptime.
- Observability: Move beyond basic heartbeats to deep, user-centric metrics (e.g., "Is the pipeline finishing on time? Is the AI response time acceptable?").
3. Platform Engineering (The Engine)
- Self-Service Culture: Enable 100+ engineers to deploy services via robust IaC (Terraform/Pulumi) and GitOps workflows.
- CI/CD Ownership: Design and maintain robust pipelines (ArgoCD/Jenkins) for rapid, reliable deployment cycles across multiple services.
- Toil Reduction: Relentlessly automate manual tasks. Carry tasks end-to-end, from design to deployment, and take full ownership of the automation roadmap.
4. Security & Compliance
- DevSecOps: Integrate security into the CI/CD lifecycle.
- DR & Compliance: Own the Disaster Recovery strategy and ensure we meet the rigorous compliance standards required by global construction leaders.
About You
- The Builder: 6+ years in infrastructure/operations, with 2+ years in a leadership role (Head of/sr.manger) in a high-growth environment.
- The Architect of Reliability: You treat operations as a software problem. You have an understanding of SRE principles and experience leading DevOps teams for 2+ years.
- K8s Expert: Proven expertise in deploying, managing, and scaling Kubernetes workloads in production.
- Tech Stack Mastery: Deep experience with AWS, Docker, Helm, and message-driven architectures (Kafka, SQS).
- Developer Background: Proficiency in programming (Java, Python, or C++) is required; prior experience as a Backend Developer is a significant plus.
- Strategic & Hands-on:
- You can navigate a board-level FinOps discussion in the morning and deep-dive into a complex production bottleneck in the afternoon.
- Familiarity with service mesh, GitOps workflows, and zero-downtime deployments.
