Backed by WndrCo, Warburg Pincus and General Catalyst, Point Wild is dedicated to creating the world’s most comprehensive portfolio of industry-leading cybersecurity solutions. Our vision is to become THE go-to resource for every cyber protection need individuals may face - today and in the future.

Join us for the ride!

We’re looking for a Lead DevOps Engineer to architect, automate, and lead our cloud infrastructure and continuous delivery strategy on Google Cloud. In this role, you will own the reliability, scalability, and security of our production environments, ensuring zero-downtime operations and seamless deployment pipelines.

You will drive our DevOps practices forward by codifying infrastructure, automating release management, and enforcing strict security and compliance standards. We are a high-trust, outcome-focused team that moves quickly to solve complex, large-scale infrastructure and operational challenges on GCP.

Core Responsibilities:

GCP Infrastructure & Architecture: Architect, deploy, and manage highly available, fault-tolerant cloud infrastructure across Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Maintain and scale declarative infrastructure using Terraform across a multi-hundred-file estate, enforcing GitOps workflows with Atlantis.
CI/CD Pipeline Automation: Build, maintain, and optimize robust automated pipelines for continuous integration and delivery using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and ArgoCD.
Networking & Traffic Management: Manage enterprise networking perimeters, service mesh architectures (Istio mTLS, VirtualServices), and API Gateways (Kong) for secure ingress, egress, and microservices traffic.
System Observability & Reliability: Implement comprehensive telemetry, log aggregation, and alerting to ensure high availability, optimal resource utilization, and fast incident response.
Security, Compliance & Operations: Enforce strict security postures (VPC-SC, IAM, Org Policies), manage identity and secrets storage, maintain compliance standards (such as SOC2), and participate in the operational on-call rotation.

What you bring to the table:

Deep GCP & Kubernetes Mastery: Senior/Lead level experience operating production workloads on GCP and GKE (cluster topology, Helm, Kustomize, and ArgoCD).
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Expert-level Terraform skills with extensive experience running GitOps workflows at scale (specifically via Atlantis).
CI/CD Expertise: Strong track record of designing, building, and maintaining multi-stage automated deployment pipelines.
Networking & Service Mesh: High proficiency with Istio (VirtualServices, mTLS, sidecar injection) and API Gateways (specifically Kong).
Enterprise Security & Identity: Hands-on experience enforcing enterprise-grade security and secret management (Auth0, Dex, ESO, SOPS, VPC-SC, IAM).
Database & Datastore Familiarity: Solid operational comfort with Cloud SQL (PostgreSQL), BigQuery, and in-cluster datastores like Elasticsearch or ClickHouse.
At least an upper-intermediate level of spoken and written English.

It would be great if you also had:

Automation Savvy: Experience with Ansible for host configuration, cluster bootstrapping, and disaster recovery.
Advanced Certifications: GCP Professional Cloud Architect, GCP Professional Security Engineer, or Kubernetes certifications (CKA / CKS).
Telemetry & Monitoring: Practical experience with Loki, Grafana, or ClickHouse for centralized logging and metrics.

As part of Point Wild, you will:

Solve real customer problems. Point Wild’s point solutions allow consumers to address their immediate cyber protection needs. Our mandate is to continuously anticipate our customers’ evolving digital security needs to create best-in-class solutions aimed at keeping them safe.

See your impact. We are a scrappy, nimble organization where individual contributions are needed and valued. You will see your impact every day.

Accelerate your career. As we expand, you will have the opportunity to learn new technologies, products, and markets in a fast-paced, growth-oriented environment.

Most importantly, you’ll get to work with other talented people at a company where people matter. If you want to put your fingerprint on an organization and leapfrog your growth, this is the place for you.
