Senior DevOps & Software Engineer
Senior DevOps & Software Engineer
Intellectual Labs is an AI-First Venture Studio dedicated to building and co-founding technology companies where AI is at the core of the product. We move fast, think boldly, and execute with discipline — and we’re looking for a Senior Engineer to take ownership of operations and infrastructure across our growing portfolio of startups.
This high-impact role is ideal for someone who excel in fast-paced settings and want to be integral to building and scaling AI-first products from scratch. Unlike a single startup, here you’ll operate across a portfolio of innovative companies — building infra once, then scaling it across several new products at speed. If predictable routines and fixed rewards are your comfort zone, this isn’t the place — but if you’re driven by ownership, autonomy, and creating real value, it absolutely is.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Cloud infrastructure & operations for our startups — primarily Kubernetes (K8s) and Docker Compose–based systems.
- CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows, currently in Azure DevOps but up for change.
- Monitoring, logging, alerting, and general system reliability.
- Scaling and maintaining secure, robust environments across staging and production.
- Working closely with product teams and founders to build and ship features quickly and safely.
- Coaching developers on DevOps best practices, and contributing to internal tooling and platform improvements.
What You'll Bring ?
- Proven senior-level experience in DevOps / Infrastructure Engineering.
- Hands-on experience with: Kubernetes, Docker, and container orchestration./ Azure
- DevOps, or similar CI/CD tools./ Cloud infrastructure (Azure preferred, but AWS/GCP also relevant).
- Strong software engineering background — ideally with full-stack or backend experience.
- Solid understanding of authentication systems, web application architecture, and secure development practices.
- A product mindset — you care about the “why” behind what you build.
- Experience working in startups or venture studios (a strong plus).
- Bonus : experience role in building or co-founding a company.
Why Join Us ?
- Work on multiple greenfield products where AI is central, not an afterthought.
- Join a team of experienced entrepreneurs, product builders, and AI researchers.
- High degree of ownership and autonomy — you’ll help shape not just the tech, but the companies themselves.
- You’ll have direct access to founders and decision-makers — no ticket factories.
- Flat structure, low bureaucracy, and fast decisions.
