Upstart is hiring a DevOps Engineer II to build and operate the shared cloud platform supporting product and machine-learning workloads. The role centers on production Kubernetes/EKS operations, AWS networking and identity, infrastructure as code, and GitOps delivery practices. The engineer will improve reliability through SLOs, incident response, post-incident remediation, and platform standards while partnering with SRE, security, delivery, and product teams. This is a remote full-time role available across the United States and Canada, with periodic in-person team onsites encouraged rather than mandated. ## Role DNA A quick view of the complexity, pace, ownership and collaboration implied by the job description. ### Job Complexity 4/5EasyHard ### Pace & Pressure 4/5RelaxedFast-paced ### Autonomy Level 4/5GuidedFull ownership ### Communication Load 4/5IndependentCollaborative AI insightThis is a mid-level platform engineering role requiring hands-on ownership of production Kubernetes, AWS architecture, Terraform or CDK, and GitOps workflows.

I would define shared policies for RBAC, ingress, observability, upgrades, and backup or recovery, while using reusable modules and clear ownership boundaries to minimize configuration drift. Describe how you have used GitOps to improve deployment reliability and developer experience. I have used a declarative repository as the source of truth for application and platform configuration, with Argo CD continuously reconciling approved changes into clusters. This provides auditability, repeatable rollbacks, and consistent promotion across environments, while self-service templates let developers deploy safely without needing direct cluster administration. What signals would you use to define SLOs for a shared cloud platform? I would start with user-facing platform outcomes such as API availability, deployment success rate, control-plane health, cluster capacity availability, and time to provision supported resources. Each SLO should have a measurable indicator, target, error budget, ownership model, and escalation path so it drives prioritization rather than becoming passive monitoring. How would you investigate recurring Kubernetes workload instability or elevated error rates? I would correlate application symptoms with cluster, node, networking, DNS, ingress, and resource metrics, then examine recent configuration and deployment changes. After identifying the contributing conditions, I would implement a systemic fix such as improved requests and limits, autoscaling, network policy changes, alert tuning, or a hardened deployment guardrail, and document the outcome in the incident review. How do you balance cloud cost efficiency with reliability and performance? I treat cost optimization as an engineering constraint alongside availability and latency. I would use workload-level cost visibility, right-size requests and limits, improve autoscaling, identify idle or overprovisioned resources, and validate changes against SLOs so savings do not create hidden reliability risk.
