Our Story

TopDog Law is a nationally scaling personal injury firm that owns the client experience end to end, from marketing and intake through litigation. Weve grown 2-3x year over year for three years running, and were now building the operations, systems, and teams to scale without sacrificing quality or culture. Were fully remote, and we value ownership, open communication, and speed. If you want to help build something exceptional, youll feel at home here.

The Opportunity

Were looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer to own the security, reliability, and cost of our cloud environments and the engineering tools our teams depend on. Our internal platforms are built primarily on AWS, with some GCP, and youll be the hands-on expert who makes sure those environments are safe, well-run, and built on sound DevOps practices.

This is a hands-on role supporting multiple teams across business areas. Youll establish shared DevOps practices and capabilities that help teams deliver securely and reliably. Youll combine deep AWS expertise with a broad understanding of engineering tools, their costs, and opportunities to improve our processes. Youll bring a proven track record of implementing these practices in production environments.

What You Will Own

Cloud Security & Infrastructure

• Secure our cloud. Own the security posture of our AWS and GCP environments, including IAM and least-privilege access, network design and boundaries, secrets and encryption, and logging and audit, and drive risks to remediation.
• Standardize the platform. Build and maintain infrastructure as code, with clear standards for accounts, environments, and networking that teams can follow.

CI/CD & Delivery

• Improve how we ship. Build and improve CI/CD pipelines with security checks built in, and introduce proven deployment practices such as blue-green and canary releases with reliable rollback.
• Improve DevOps practices. Assess existing DevOps processes, identify opportunities for improvement, and prioritize and implement solutions.

Tooling & Cost

• Experience administering engineering tools such as Sentry, APM platforms, and testing tools.
• Experience with cloud cost visibility and management, including reporting spend clearly to technical and non-technical teams.
• Broad understanding of engineering toolchains, including how components integrate and where improvements can be made.
• Strong communication skills and a track record of supporting multiple teams and encouraging adoption of shared practices.

Preferred (Nice to Have):
