About the role

Original posting from Gong via Greenhouse

Gong harnesses the power of AI to transform how revenue teams win. The Gong Revenue AI Operating System unifies data, insights, and workflows into a single, trusted system that observes, guides, and acts alongside the world’s most successful revenue teams. Powered by the Gong Revenue Graph, AI-powered intelligence, specialized agents, and trusted applications, Gong helps more than 5,000 companies around the world deeply understand their teams and customers, automate critical sales workflows, and close more deals with less effort. For more information, visit www.gong.io.

At Gong, you will join a company built on innovative products, ambitious goals, and passionate people. We are shaping the future of revenue intelligence and we want people who are excited to build what comes next. You will work with a team that dreams big, moves fast, and cares deeply about the craft and about each other. Here, transparency and trust are core to how we operate, and every person has the opportunity to make a visible impact. If you want to grow, stretch, and do work that truly matters, Gong is the place to do the best work of your career.

As a Senior DevOps Engineer, you'll design, operate, and evolve the platform that runs Gong's production environment across AWS, GCP, and Azure, powering hundreds of Java microservices, ML model-serving workloads, and the internal tooling our R&D organization depends on every day.

You'll own:

A multi-cloud, multi-region Kubernetes platform managed as code via Crossplane, Helm, and ArgoCD

CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Argo Workflows) that deploy, test, and scale workloads across environments

Monitoring, logging, and alerting across the stack (Datadog, Coralogix, Sentry, Wiz), and the on-call rotations that keep it healthy

You'll solve:

High-scale production problems: driving continuous platform and security upgrades across the fleet, under real traffic, without impacting live tenants

The velocity-vs-safety tradeoff: designing GitOps workflows where a single PR can safely impact production across clouds and region

Advanced troubleshooting when production, staging, or dev environments break in unexpected ways

You'll impact:

Every engineer at Gong. Our platform is the substrate they deploy on, so your work directly affects their delivery speed

Cost, reliability, and security of the infrastructure that underpins the product our customers pay for

The resilience of Gong's customer experience. The platform you build determines whether thousands of revenue teams can trust Gong to be there when they need it

The direction of the platform itself. You'll have the autonomy to challenge existing architecture and drive meaningful changes, not just maintain what's already there

How you'll succeed here:

5+ years in DevOps or platform engineering, with deep AWS experience and proven ownership of high-scale production systems (reliability, performance, and cost optimization)

Strong hands-on with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, Helm) in real production, not just demos 

Fluent in IaC and GitOps (Terraform, ArgoCD) and CI/CD tooling like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or Argo Workflows 

Solid grasp of cloud security and architecture best practices: building systems that are resilient, scalable, and cost-efficient by default 

Comfortable with monitoring and logging stacks (Datadog, Coralogix, Prometheus, Grafana): you design for observability, not bolt it on after

Scripting fluency in Python, bash, or Node.js to automate anything that shouldn't be done twice

Linux at a systems level: you can troubleshoot DNS, iptables, or systemd issues without hesitation

Clear communicator who collaborates across R&D, Security, and Product, documents decisions, and follows through on delivery, from RFC to rollout

Bonus: experience with big-data infrastructure, Java/JVM services, or multi-cloud (GCP/Azure)

*We operate in a flexible hybrid work model.

What makes the DevOps team at Gong unique?

Here at Gong, we trust and empower our employees with ownership to solve complex problems, make the right decisions, and build the best products that create radical impact. We call this “Own. Solve. Impact.”

Our DevOps team is dedicated to fostering a culture of collaboration and efficiency to empower our R&D efforts. This mindset permeates everything we do, from developing powerful tools that streamline processes to minimizing communication barriers and optimizing system design and infrastructure architecture. Here, you'll step into a world where versatility is embraced, and everyone is equipped to handle a range of tasks with expertise and agility. Welcome to a dynamic environment where wearing multiple hats is not just encouraged but celebrated.

We encourage our employees to express their personality and identity (whether gender, ethnic, religious, or sexual), and we ensure fairness and equal opportunities. We follow a hybrid working model that combines working from home, on the go, or at the office. This allows us: flexibility, autonomy, positive work relationships, and effective work habits. If these considerations are important to you when choosing a workplace, we'd love to see you with us. To review Gong's privacy policy, visit  www.gong.io/privacy-policy/  for more details.
