DevOps Engineer

About Delve

Delve is building an AI-native platform that transforms compliance from tedious, manual work into effortless, automated workflows.

We’re the fastest growing compliance company on the market. Delve helps hundreds of companies save hundreds of hours (e.g. Lovable, 11x, WisprFlow) by eliminating busywork and helping teams focus on what matters — building securely.

We’re backed by Y Combinator, General Catalyst, and Funders Club. Our team includes Olympiad medalists, OpenAI alumni, and former founders from Stanford, MIT, and Berkeley. We’re on a mission to eliminate busywork for humanity — starting with compliance.

About the Role

We’re looking for a DevOps Engineer to lead critical infrastructure initiatives at Delve — including a full AWS migration, scaling our database architecture, and hardening our security and compliance posture.

You’ll be our first infra hire and own everything from networking to IAM to multi-tenant architecture. This is a hands-on, foundational role with high ownership and high leverage.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the migration from a platform-as-a-service to AWS

• Redesign our infrastructure for multi-database, per-customer tenancy

• Build and manage IAM policies, secrets management, and network hardening

• Collaborate with security and engineering to strengthen compliance posture

• Support a fast-moving backend team with infrastructure that just works

• Occasionally write backend code to support migrations, schema changes, and automation

What We’re Looking For

• 4–6+ years of DevOps or infrastructure engineering experience

• Proven success scaling infra at a mid-sized or larger tech company

• Strong with AWS (IAM, VPC, RDS, ECS/EKS, S3, networking, etc.)

• Familiarity with Postgres, schema design, and backend service integration

• Able to operate independently, make decisions, and own systems end-to-end

• Comfortable moving between cloud, infra, and application layers when needed

• Thrives under pressure — systems will break, edge cases will hit, and you’ll be the one calmly fixing it while others are slacking you in all caps

Why In-Person SF Matters

• You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with an exceptional team:

  • Ex-Stanford, MIT, and Berkeley engineers with dozens of papers

  • International Olympiad winners and medalists

  • Ex-OpenAI engineers with 10+ years of domain expertise for mentorship

  • Former founders who’ve closed $500k in revenue at 19 and hired 40+ people

• Decisions happen live, not in backlogged async threads

• A players work with A players. There’s a buzzing energy in the office. Hit the whiteboard with anyone here and you’ll understand why.

Benefits

• 100% medical, dental & vision coverage (for you; partial for dependents)

• 401k with employer match

• Unlimited PTO + federal holidays

• GrubHub stipend + all meals covered in-office

• Gym membership covered

• Frequent team dinners, events, and off-sites

• The opportunity to eliminate busywork for humanity
