The listing, marked up
ControlUp is a leader in Digital Employee Experience (DEX), evolving IT operations with agentic AI to deliver Autonomous Endpoint Management (AEM) and a digital workspace that runs itself.
Our platform transforms millions of real-time signals into intelligent action, bridging the gap between deep visibility and automated remediation.
We turn "IT headaches" and employee frustration into self-healing operations, allowing organizations to move beyond reactive troubleshooting toward a future where technology works seamlessly in the background.
We're here to ensure the workday runs without disruptions. No tool sprawl, no wasted time, and no friction. Just technology that works for people, not against them, so they can stay focused on what they do best.
One platform. One powerful shift in how work flows.
About the Role:
Join ControlUp as a DevOps Engineer, contributing to the design, implementation, and management of our cloud infrastructure. Work with a talented cross-functional team to deliver scalable, reliable, and secure cloud solutions on Microsoft Azure and OpenSearch. If you’re an experienced engineer with hands-on expertise in cloud automation, infrastructure management, and technical execution, we want to hear from you!
What You’ll Own:
•
Drive the deployment, management, and scaling of large-scale Azure cloud infrastructure hosting over 2,500 instances.
•
Maintain and optimize hundreds of OpenSearch clusters to ensure high availability, performance, and resilience.
•
Architect and implement next-generation ControlUp cloud solutions leveraging Kubernetes (K8s) and modern cloud-native tooling.
•
Ensure robust infrastructure security, regulatory compliance, and performance tuning across complex, distributed environments.
•
Participate in on-call rotation schedules and drive incident management processes to maintain high availability and rapid resolution of production issues.
What you'll bring:
•
Hands-on experience or proficiency with AI development tools (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot, Cursor).
•
Proven hands-on experience as a DevOps or Cloud Engineer in production environments.
•
Extensive hands-on expertise with Azure cloud platform (experience with AWS is a plus).
•
Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and CI/CD automation tools, including Terraform, GitHub Actions, and ArgoCD.
•
Strong background in container orchestration with Kubernetes
•
3 - 5+ years of experience managing Elasticsearch/OpenSearch clusters and distributed systems at scale.
•
Demonstrated expertise with configuration management tools, preferably Ansible.
•
Advanced proficiency in version control and collaboration platforms
•
Exceptional communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills with a proactive mindset.
Why You'll Love It Here:
• Global, Not Isolated: You'll work with a diverse team spanning the US, EMEA, and Israel. We're known for our vibrant social culture, and once a year, the entire global company comes together for a major offsite to reconnect in person.
• Meaningful Impact: Make a real impact from day one, working with cutting-edge technology in a fast-paced, global environment.
• Collaborative & Growth-Driven: Join a collaborative, empowering culture where learning and professional growth are encouraged.
• True Flexibility: We offer a hybrid model. We care about the output of your expertise, not the hours you spend in a specific chair.
