Job Description

Paradise Media is a fast-growing performance marketing company behind some of the most successful affiliate and iGaming brands in the world. We run a global network of high-authority sites across casino, sports, and entertainment built on data, experimentation, and top-tier SEO.

We’re a private company with strong capital reserves and no outside investors, making us a stable, independent, and fast-moving place to grow your career. You’ll work directly with the CEO and leadership team, have a real voice in strategy, and see your ideas go live fast.

We’re scaling quickly to become one of the largest privately-owned companies in iGaming. A team where smart, driven people can have a massive impact and build something enduring.

About the role

The DevOps / AI Infrastructure Engineer owns the reliability, performance, and scalability of Paradise Media’s production infrastructure and AI platform. This is not traditional DevOps, you will build and maintain the infrastructure that powers autonomous AI agents, LLM pipelines, and machine learning workloads alongside 10+ WordPress content sites. The company operates across iGaming, esports, lifestyle, news, and legal verticals. Your job is to solve that permanently using AI-powered infrastructure: self-healing systems driven by AI monitoring agents, AI-assisted CI/CD that catches issues before deployment, and autonomous infrastructure management that runs 24/7. You will use AI coding tools daily to build infrastructure at 10x velocity.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure engineering experience
• Experience building CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins

• Experience managing infrastructure for AI/ML workloads (model serving, GPU compute, embedding pipelines)
• Experience with vector database operations (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector)
• Experience managing WordPress hosting at scale (Kinsta, WP Engine)
• Experience in digital media, affiliate marketing, or iGaming
