Sr. Devops Engineer II

Who we areDoubleVerify is an Israeli-founded big data analytics company (Stock: NYSE: DV). We track and analyze tens of billions of ads every day for the biggest brands in the world.We operate at a massive scale, handling over 100B events per day and over 1M RPS at peak; we process events in real-time at low latencies (ms) and analyze over 2.5M video years every day. We verify that all ads are fraud-free, appear next to appropriate content, appear to people in the right geography, and measure the viewability and user’s engagement throughout the ad’s lifecycle. We are global, with HQ in NYC and R&D centers in Tel Aviv, New York, Finland, Berlin, Belgium and San Diego. We work in a fast-paced environment and have a lot of challenges to solve. If you like to work in a large-scale environment and want to help us build products that have a huge impact on the industry and the web, then your place is with us.The OpportunityThe DevOps Platform team builds and operates the shared infrastructure foundation that powers all of DoubleVerify's engineering teams. We're the team behind the platforms processing billions of events daily—Kubernetes clusters spanning cloud and data centers, streaming and data systems, workflow orchestration, and the observability stack that keeps everything running.As a Senior Platform Engineer, you'll own critical infrastructure that hundreds of developers depend on every day. This isn't about keeping the lights on—it's about building resilient, self-service platforms that make complex distributed systems simple to operate. You'll work with cutting-edge technologies (Kubernetes, Kafka, Aerospike, ArgoCD, Envoy) and have the autonomy to define standards and shape how DV's infrastructure evolves as the company scales.If you love building platforms that other engineers love using, this is your role.Why Platform Engineering at DoubleVerify?Real Impact at ScaleYour work directly enables engineering teams across the company to move faster and more reliably. The platforms you build process billions of advertising verification events daily for Fortune 500 brands—real infrastructure challenges at meaningful scale.Ownership & AutonomySenior platform engineers own entire systems end-to-end. You'll make architectural decisions, define standards, and have the freedom to implement the best solutions—not just follow tickets.Cutting-Edge TechnologyWork with modern cloud-native technologies and emerging tools. We invest in the latest CNCF ecosystem innovations and give you the space to experiment and learn.Collaborative, Global TeamPartner with talented engineers across US, Israel, and Europe. You'll work with specialists in SRE, AI infrastructure, security, and development—learning from diverse perspectives while mentoring others.What You'll AchieveOwn Company-Wide Infrastructure PlatformsDesign, deploy, and operate Kubernetes platforms across GCP, AWS, and data center environments that serve as the foundation for 100+ engineering teamsBuild and maintain critical shared services: streaming (Kafka), data storage (Aerospike), workflow orchestration (Airflow), and observability (Prometheus, Grafana) that process billions of events with 99.9%+ reliabilityElevate Developer ExperienceCreate tooling and automation that transforms complex platform operations into simple self-service workflows—empowering developers while maintaining security and stabilityDrive CI/CD evolution by building operators, controllers, and management tools that reduce toil and accelerate deployment velocityShape Infrastructure StandardsPartner with product teams from day one to ensure new features integrate cleanly and reliably into DV's infrastructure, preventing technical debt before it happensDefine and promote best practices for automation, observability, security, and maintainability that scale across the organizationLead Technical ProjectsPlan and deliver high-impact infrastructure initiatives in collaboration with multidisciplinary DevOps, SRE, and engineering teams across US, Israel, and EuropeUse metrics, logs, and traces to proactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, turning insights into lasting improvementsWhat You'll BringRequired:5+ years in DevOps, Platform Engineering, or SRE roles operating production infrastructure at scale3+ years hands-on experience with Kubernetes in production environments (bonus if you've owned/managed a K8s platform)Strong cloud platform expertise in GCP or AWS (multi-cloud experience valued)Software engineering mindset - you write code (Python, Go, Bash) to solve infrastructure problems, not just configure toolsObservability-driven troubleshooting - you're comfortable diving into metrics, logs, and traces to diagnose distributed system issuesPlatform thinking - you design for reliability, scalability, and developer experience, not just "getting it working"Nice to Have:Hands-on experience with Kafka, ArgoCD, Aerospike, or Airflow in productionBackground with service mesh technologies (Envoy Gateway, Istio)Experience with GitOps workflows and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Crossplane)Contributions to open-source platform tooling or CNCF projectsSite Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices and cultureBeyond the Resume:Empathy for developers - you care deeply about improving the experience of engineers using your platformsSystems thinker - you see the big picture and understand how components interact across distributed systemsStrong communicator - you can explain complex infrastructure concepts to application developers and collaborate across teamsInitiative and ownership - you don't wait to be told what to do; you identify problems and drive solutionsYour Tech StackCore Infrastructure:Cloud: GCP (primary), AWSOrchestration: Kubernetes (GKE, on-prem), ArgoCD, Helm, KyvernoService Mesh: Envoy GatewayIaC: Terraform, CrossplaneData & Streaming:Streaming: KafkaDatabases: Aerospike (NoSQL), various SQL systemsWorkflow: AirflowObservability & Testing:Monitoring: Prometheus, Mimir, Grafana, Grafana AlloyLoad Testing: K6Tracing & Logging: Distributed across the stackAccess & Security:Access Management: TeleportPolicy Enforcement: Kyverno, custom admission controllersCI/CD: GitLab CI/CD, GitHub Actions
