Founding DevOps Engineer – MonkCI

About MonkCI

MonkCI is building the world’s fastest CI runners optimized for the AI era.

As AI-driven development increases code generation frequency and build volume, traditional CI infrastructure becomes slow, expensive, and operationally inefficient. MonkCI is a next-generation CI platform that provides high-performance, VM-level isolated runners on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) with intelligent scaling, deep observability, and AI-native optimizations.

We are building:

Multi-tenant, high-isolation CI infrastructure

Ephemeral VM-based runners (MIG-backed)

Kubernetes-based control plane

Deep observability (metrics, logs, traces)

Enterprise-grade compliance and security posture

AI-era performance optimizations

Why We Are Hiring a Founding DevOps Engineer

We are looking for a strong GCP-native DevOps engineer who can own infrastructure end-to-end.

This is not a maintenance role.

This is a foundational architecture role.

You will be responsible for designing, implementing, securing, and operating the complete MonkCI infrastructure stack — from GitHub branch strategies to production-grade multi-tenant cloud systems.

You will work directly with the founders and shape:

Infrastructure architecture

Security posture

CI/CD standards

Observability stack

Compliance foundations

Production reliability practices

This is a full-time founding DevOps role with deep ownership.
