DevOps Engineer (Mid–Senior) – Job Description

About Apty

Apty is a Digital Adoption Platform (DAP) that operates directly within web applications to improve user productivity, enforce process compliance, and eliminate friction in complex enterprise workflows.

Technically, Apty sits in a unique layer: on top of third-party applications, requiring deep runtime integration, browser extensions, and a high-scale multi-tenant backend processing millions of user interactions.

This is systems-heavy engineering, not standard infrastructure maintenance.

About the Role

We are looking for a highly hands-on Mid–Senior DevOps Engineer who can take strong ownership of our DevOps ecosystem and grow into owning it end-to-end.

With a growing base of 2M+ active users, our platform requires high availability, real-time processing, and extreme scalability.

This role is not about maintaining pipelines—it’s about:

• Architecting cloud-native distributed systems
  
• Scaling high-throughput analytics pipelines
  
• Building enterprise-grade SaaS and on-prem deployments
  
• Driving DevOps excellence across the company
  

If you enjoy owning infrastructure like a product, this role will suit you well.

What You’ll Work On in Your First 90 Days

• Take ownership of our AWS infrastructure and CI/CD ecosystem
  
• Optimize and scale event ingestion pipelines
  
• Strengthen observability, alerting, and system reliability
  
• Improve deployment workflows across microservices, extensions, and frontend applications
  
• Contribute to architecture decisions for scaling to millions of users
  
• Start driving on-prem deployment standardization
