At Autoptic, we build the tooling layer that helps engineering teams deliver critical systems dependencies with speed, reliability, and safety. As a DevOps Tools Engineer, we’ll rely on you to help design and operate the “Tools, Skills, and Agents” ecosystem that other teams use globally. You’ll work on infrastructure and developer-experience capabilities that bridge environments (SaaS and VPC/BYOC-style deployments), connect observability and incident workflows, and power AI development tooling used daily by our engineers. This role sits at the intersection of platform engineering and DevOps leadership—turning ideas into durable systems, then continuously improving them as our tooling footprint grows to dozens (and eventually hundreds) of tools and capabilities.
Exclusive to Get on Board.
DevOps Tools Engineer
We are looking for a DevOps Tools Engineer who can help us imagine, design, build, and test tools that directly support engineering teams and production-critical dependencies.
- Build and maintain Tools, Skills, and Agents used by engineering teams worldwide to automate operational workflows and system dependencies.
- Partner with product and engineering stakeholders to translate operational needs into reliable tooling, integrations, and repeatable deployment patterns.
- Develop and operate integrations across common DevOps and observability systems (e.g., AWS, GCP, Datadog, Grafana, PagerDuty, Splunk), ensuring alerts, dashboards, and incident signals are actionable.
- Leverage APIs and query mechanisms to connect internal and external systems, retrieving the right data, at the right cadence, with the right safeguards.
- Support and evolve hosted and VPC/BYOC deployment models, enabling smooth movement between environments while preserving security, performance, and reliability.
- Bring “sleeves rolled up” curiosity to modern approaches to tool interoperability (including MCP-style patterns) by experimenting, validating, and hardening what works.
- Contribute to our culture of continuous improvement and tool-building—shipping enhancements iteratively, improving reliability over time, and reducing operational toil.
We value mid-level DevOps leadership: you’ll lead parts of the technical direction for tooling, coordinate cross-team priorities, and raise the bar for quality in systems design and operations.
Attributes and experiences we are looking for include:
We’re excited about candidates who love building and who can operate with strong DevOps fluency across modern cloud and observability ecosystems.
- Love of building: A persistent desire to create and manage dozens (and eventually hundreds) of Tools, Skills, and Agents that engineering teams depend on for critical systems.
- Inference and AI tool usage: Genuine commitment to and daily use of AI development tools (for example, Claude Code) to accelerate engineering workflows and tool iteration.
- DevOps fluency: Hands-on experience with multiple platforms and operational toolchains such as AWS, GCP, Datadog, GitHub, Grafana, PagerDuty, Jira, ServiceNow, and Splunk.
- APIs, endpoints, and queries: Experience working with multiple endpoint types and query mechanisms (including building reliable integrations) with an eye toward correctness, latency, and resilience.
- Modern MCP curiosity: Curiosity and practical experimentation with modern tool interoperability patterns (e.g., MCP-style approaches) to deliver useful capabilities safely.
- Hybrid hosted/BYOC mindset: First-hand experience operating across SaaS and VPC/BYOC deployment models, understanding tradeoffs around security, networking, and operational control.
- Values alignment: Alignment with CAMPFIRE values—ownership, collaboration, and craftsmanship.
- Communication and leadership: Clear written and verbal communication, the ability to influence without authority, and comfort presenting tradeoffs to engineering and operations partners.
We expect strong systems experience and an ability to drive outcomes end-to-end: from design and implementation to testing, monitoring, and ongoing improvements.
Desirable
- Experience building developer-experience tooling that meaningfully reduces operational toil for other teams.
- Comfort with incident response workflows: translating signals from observability systems into clear actions and durable playbooks.
- Experience with tool interoperability frameworks and agentic patterns (including MCP-style patterns), focusing on safe, reliable integration.
- Prior exposure to environments that mix hosted services with VPC-deployed components, including authentication, networking, and security considerations.
We also look for candidates who consistently bring curiosity, pragmatism, and a strong “ship and improve” mindset.
Benefits
We’ll support your work with a culture that values alignment, craftsmanship, and continuous improvement.
We also encourage ongoing learning and hands-on experimentation—especially in areas related to AI development tooling and modern DevOps interoperability patterns.
If this sounds like how you like to build, we’d love to hear from you.
Flexible hours
Flexible schedule and freedom for attending family needs or personal errands.
