About Dili

Dili is a YC-backed, Series A startup using AI to automate compliance and due diligence for the industrial economy, starting with prevailing wage and apprenticeship compliance.

Our platform helps developers, EPCs, contractors, and compliance teams manage complex labor requirements across energy, data center, infrastructure, manufacturing, and construction projects. Dili turns payroll records, regulations, and fragmented project data into clear compliance results, helping customers pass audits, protect funding, and keep projects moving.

Dili was founded by Anand Chaturvedi and Brian Fernandez, both formerly at Coinbase. After seeing how much critical work remained trapped in spreadsheets, PDFs, and manual review, they started Dili to build better software for managing complex compliance work across physical industries.

The Role

We’re hiring a DevOps Engineer to own and improve the infrastructure that Dili’s product and engineering teams depend on.

You’ll work across AWS, Terraform, GitHub Actions, observability, security, and developer tooling. Your job will be to make it easier and safer for engineers to ship changes, operate production systems, investigate problems, and scale the platform as Dili grows.

This is a hands-on engineering role at an early-stage company. You’ll build infrastructure, automate operational work, respond to production issues, improve system visibility, and help establish practical standards for reliability and security.

You should be comfortable moving between planned infrastructure projects and immediate production needs. You’ll work closely with application engineers and the CTO, but you’ll be expected to develop your own view of where the platform needs improvement and take ownership of getting that work done.

What You’ll Do

- Own and improve Dili’s production infrastructure across AWS, including ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, load balancing, networking, IAM, and related services.

- Manage infrastructure as code using Terraform and ensure infrastructure changes are reviewable, repeatable, and safe.

- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions for backend, frontend, infrastructure, migrations, and automated testing.

- Improve observability across services using logs, metrics, traces, dashboards, and alerts.

- Investigate production issues, identify root causes, and implement lasting fixes rather than relying on manual intervention.

- Improve deployment safety through automated checks, progressive rollout practices, rollback procedures, and clear operational visibility.

- Partner with engineers to improve local development, testing, release workflows, and overall developer experience.

- Monitor system capacity, reliability, and cost, and make practical improvements as usage grows.

- Help define incident response, disaster recovery, backup, and business continuity practices.
