We’re looking for a DevOps Architect to help shape the infrastructure strategy behind Gong’s Revenue AI platform. This role sits at the center of our engineering ecosystem, driving architectural direction, improving operational excellence, and enabling teams to scale with confidence. You’ll work across engineering groups to identify systemic gaps, define scalable standards, and accelerate execution without becoming a delivery bottleneck. You’ll Own: • Infrastructure Strategy & Standards: Define and evolve Gong’s cloud and infrastructure architecture across Kubernetes, networking, observability, security, and data platforms. Establish clear standards and scalable best practices that enable teams to move faster with consistency and reliability. • Technical Debt & System Health Visibility: Continuously identify, prioritize, and drive resolution of cross-team technical debt, architectural gaps, and operational inefficiencies. Create organizational visibility around the most critical infrastructure challenges and opportunities. • Cross-Org Technical Leadership: Partner closely with engineering leaders and teams to influence architectural decisions, challenge assumptions, and ensure solutions are scalable, maintainable, and secure. Lead through expertise and influence, not direct ownership. • Developer Enablement & Engineering Velocity: Provide frameworks, tooling direction, and lightweight prototypes or POCs that empower teams to execute independently with higher quality and efficiency. • Critical Infrastructure Initiatives: Drive major cross-functional initiatives around reliability, scalability, security, observability, and cost optimization from identification through execution and measurable impact. You’ll Solve: • Scaling Complexity: How do we maintain simplicity, reliability, and operational clarity while supporting rapid growth and increasingly complex distributed systems. • Cross-Team Alignment: How do we create architectural consistency across independent engineering groups without slowing down innovation and execution? • Operational Excellence at Scale: How do we proactively surface and resolve systemic weaknesses before they become production issues? • Balancing Speed & Sustainability: How do we enable fast delivery today while protecting the long-term health and scalability of the platform? • AI Infrastructure Evolution: How do we build infrastructure that supports modern AI/ML workloads, GPUs, large-scale data pipelines, and future platform requirements You’ll Impact: • Platform Reliability & Scalability: Your work will directly improve the resilience, scalability, and operational maturity of Gong’s infrastructure platform. • Engineering Efficiency: By creating better standards, tooling, and architectural guidance, you’ll act as a force multiplier for engineering teams across the company. • Long-Term System Health: You’ll help reduce operational friction, minimize technical debt, and ensure Gong’s infrastructure can support long-term business growth. • Execution Quality Across Teams: Your influence will elevate engineering quality, decision-making, and operational discipline throughout the organization. How You’ll Succeed Here: • A Deep Technical Expert: Someone with 8+ years of hands-on experience with AWS and cloud-native infrastructure at scale, including strong Kubernetes expertise and distributed systems knowledge. • An Infrastructure Architect: Someone with deep experience in Infrastructure as Code and GitOps methodologies using tools like Terraform, Crossplane, or Pulumi. • A Pragmatic Builder: A strong engineer with programming experience in Python or Go who can build tools, prototypes, and automation when needed. • A Systems Thinker: Someone who can identify patterns, uncover systemic issues, and drive improvements across complex technical environments. • An Influential Technical Leader: Someone with proven experience leading cross-team initiatives and driving alignment without direct authority. • A Strategic Operator: Someone who balances short-term pragmatism with long-term architectural thinking and sustainable execution. • An AI Infrastructure Enabler (Advantage): Experience supporting AI/ML infrastructure, GPU environments, LLM workloads, or large-scale data pipelines is a strong plus. • A Collaborative Peer: Most importantly, someone who thrives working with strong engineering leaders and enjoys solving difficult infrastructure challenges together.
