Why project44?  

At project44, we believe in better.  

We challenge the status quo because we know a better supply chain isn’t just possible—it’s essential. Better for our customers. Better for their business. Better for the world.  

With our Decision Intelligence Platform, Movement, we’re redefining how global supply chains operate. By transforming fragmented logistics data into real-time, AI-powered insights, we empower companies to connect instantly, see clearly, act decisively, and automate intelligently. Our Supply Chain AI enhances visibility, drives smarter execution, and unlocks next-gen applications that keep businesses moving forward.  

Headquartered in Chicago, IL with a 2nd HQ in Bengaluru, India we are powered by a diverse global team that is tackling the toughest logistics challenges with innovation, urgency, and purpose.  

AI at project44

We expect every project44 team member, regardless of role or function, to actively leverage AI in their day-to-day work. Whether you're building product, serving customers, managing people, or running operations, AI is a tool you're expected to use with intent, curiosity, and judgment. We don't expect everyone to be a data scientist. We do expect everyone to be an intelligent user of AI: able to identify where it adds value, direct it effectively, evaluate outputs critically, and govern it responsibly. We invest in our team's AI fluency because we believe it's a competitive advantage for every person at project44, not just our engineers

If you’re driven to solve meaningful problems, leverage AI to scale rapidly, drive impact daily, and be part of a high-performance team – we should talk. 

The Role

  • Design, build, and maintain highly available, fault-tolerant infrastructure supporting a high-throughput, real-time data platform.
  • Lead the evolution of CI/CD pipelines to improve deployment velocity, safety, and developer experience across dozens of engineering teams.
  • Own infrastructure-as-code standards (Terraform, Pulumi, or similar) and drive adoption of GitOps practices.
  • Champion observability and reliability practices — SLOs/SLIs, incident response, on-call processes, and postmortems — to reduce MTTR and prevent recurrence.

  • Mentor and provide technical leadership to mid-level and senior DevOps/SRE engineers; conduct design and code reviews.
  • Drive cost-optimization initiatives across cloud spend without compromising reliability or performance.
  • Act as an escalation point for major incidents, driving root-cause analysis and long-term remediation.
  • Evaluate and introduce new tools, platforms, and automation to continuously modernize the infrastructure stack.

What You'll Bring

  • 6+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, or Infrastructure Engineering roles, including experience leading technical initiatives.
  • Deep expertise with a major cloud provider (AWS preferred; GCP or Azure also relevant) and container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS, or similar).
  • Strong hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi) and configuration management tools.
  • Proven track record building and scaling CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, ArgoCD).
  • Solid scripting/programming ability in Python, Go, or Bash for automation and tooling.
  • Experience building and operating complex distributed systems
  • Proficient in high level script languages such as Python or Groovy
  • Experience developing solutions leveraging Docker
  • Experience managing Linux (Ubuntu) systems
  • Configuration management experience with Ansible or Terraform
  • Building/implementing monitoring for network, server, application, and database layers
  • Experience with monitoring tools such as Zabbix, Nagios, Grafana, CloudWatch
  • Experience with APM tools such as New Relic, AppDynamics, Datadog, Runscope
  • Experience with log aggregation systems using Logstash and Elasticsearch
  • Continuous integration, testing, and deployment using git, Jenkins
  • Experience with relational databases (Postgres)
