About Us 

Private events and catering can significantly increase restaurant and event space revenue, but many venues are stuck using outdated, error-prone manual processes - unlike the sophisticated software employed by large chains. Perfect Venue is leveling the playing field by offering local restaurants and venues an affordable, user-friendly, event management tool to help local them compete with big chains. This is just the start, with plans to expand into a broader marketplace that includes other event services (DJs, florists, etc).

We’re hiring our first DevOps engineer to design and own our platform from first principles.

This is not a maintenance role.

We are migrating to a new cloud environment and rebuilding our infrastructure from the ground up. There is no legacy system to inherit, you’ll define how everything works: infrastructure, deployment, observability, and reliability,

If you’ve wanted to build a system the right way, this is that opportunity.

You won’t just improve systems, you’ll define them.

Responsibilities
You will have end-to-end ownership of our infrastructure and developer platform:

Define and implement our infrastructure architecture from scratch

Rebuild our CI/CD pipeline to better scale with a growing team

Own all infrastructure-as-code and environment provisioning

Design our observability strategy (metrics, logs, traces, alerting)

Establish best practices for reliability, scaling, and incident response

Own security fundamentals (secrets, access control, production hardening)

Partner with application engineers to create a fast, reliable developer experience

Make foundational decisions on cloud, tooling, and architecture

Contribute as an application developer when needed

Background
6+ years DevOps/infrastructure

3+ years application development

Experience in both startup and scale up environments

Expertise using infrastructure management tools like Terraform or CloudFormation

Familiarity with programming languages like Ruby, Python, and JavaScript
