Job Description

For many of us there’s that one podcast we never miss, and video content is part of our daily routine, whether it’s professional or personal. But how many of us truly understand the effort that goes on behind the scenes? Here at Riverside, we know it well. That’s exactly why we built an AI-powered platform that helps content creators, podcasters, marketeers, and more at major brands like Netflix, Disney, Google, and Microsoft to create high-quality content with ease.

Riverside’s technology streamlines the entire content creation process, turning ideas into professional-grade content with the highest production standards, without requiring expensive equipment or external services. The secret? AI-driven tools that replace traditional production roles like editing, directing, and design, automating the entire process at the click of a button.

About the Engineering Team

We’re a team of smart, curious engineers building scalable, reliable systems that power content creation for millions. We work with modern web technologies, tackle real-world challenges in distributed systems, and keep things practical - no overengineering, just solid solutions. If you love solving tough problems, moving fast, and building tech that creators actually use, you’ll fit right in.

On your day-to-day

We’re hiring a DevOps Engineer to join our growing DevOps team. You'll be working hands-on with modern AWS-native technologies, helping us scale secure and observable cloud environments, while partnering closely with developers to build and ship reliably.

• Manage and improve CI/CD workflows using GitHub Actions and ArgoCD
• Collaborate directly with developers on environment setup, debug sessions, and deployments
• Implement IaC and GitOps patterns across services and teams
• Participate in production operations, incident response, and on-call rotations

Requirements

What Will Make You Stand Out?

• 4+ years of experience in DevOps or Platform Engineering
• A proactive, problem-solving mindset and the ability to think outside the box
• Deep knowledge of AWS services
• Ability to adapt quickly to new technologies and changing environments
• Strong Terraform experience and infrastructure modularization
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, including scaling and security contexts
• Experience utilizing AI to build fast and reliable solutions
• Experience collaborating closely with developers and engineering teams

Nice to Have
