DevOps Engineer (Cloud & Kubernetes)

About Us

At FluentX, we believe technology can shape how people think, feel, and act about fitness. We are building a fitness-focused media and technology platform that promotes inclusivity, wellness, and community—helping people realize that everybody deserves to be fit.

A reliable, scalable, and secure infrastructure sits at the core of our mission. It enables seamless user experiences, fast product iteration, and long-term platform growth.

Role Overview

This is a core engineering and infrastructure role in a founder-led startup environment. You will own our cloud infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and Kubernetes environments end to end—from initial setup and architecture decisions to scaling, optimization, and long-term reliability.

You will work closely with founders, backend engineers, and frontend teams to ensure smooth deployments, high availability, and secure systems.

This role goes beyond basic server management. It is not a tool-only or maintenance-only role.
