Help design and maintain the infrastructure behind Workmind’s AI-powered automation platform for service franchises.

About Workmind

Workmind builds AI-powered automation for American home-service franchises. Founded in July 2025 by experienced AI professionals, we’re focused on robust, reliable systems that turn operational friction into revenue. We don’t fine-tune models; our value is systems design, orchestration, and evaluation that hold up under real-world abuse.

Role: Reliability Engineer (Contractor)

You’ll work directly with the CTO to design, deploy, and maintain the infrastructure powering Workmind’s core platform. The focus is on Infrastructure-as-Code, observability, and CI/CD using Google-native services.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll define and evolve the foundation that makes our automation products resilient, observable, and secure.

What you’ll do

  • Implement and maintain infrastructure using Terraform or OpenTofu (IaC).
  • Manage multi-environment deployments (dev / stg / prod) with Cloud Build.
  • Integrate Secret Manager for CI/CD secrets and runtime security.
  • Set up and maintain observability pipelines using OpenTelemetry, Managed Prometheus, and Cloud Monitoring / Logging.
  • Create alerting policies and dashboards in Google Cloud to track system health.
  • Maintain SOC 2–aligned controls, including IAM least privilege, audit logging, and key rotation.
  • Build and scan distroless container images, enforce Artifact Registry policies, and apply vulnerability scanning standards.
  • Document infrastructure decisions, diagrams, and processes in Markdown and version control.

Our stack

  • Languages: Go (for supporting tools and tests)
  • Cloud: Google Cloud Platform (Cloud Run, Cloud SQL, Firestore, Artifact Registry, Secret Manager, Cloud Logging/Monitoring, Managed Prometheus)
  • IaC: Terraform / OpenTofu
  • CI/CD: Cloud Build (Git-based triggers)
  • Observability: OpenTelemetry + GCP dashboards and alerts
  • Containers: Distroless images, least-privilege runtime

Must-haves

  • 2+ years in infrastructure, reliability, or DevOps roles
  • Strong experience with Google Cloud Platform services
  • Proficiency in Terraform or OpenTofu for IaC
  • Experience with serverless/containerized environments (Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, etc.)
  • Familiarity with monitoring and alerting (Prometheus, Cloud Monitoring)
  • Practical knowledge of CI/CD and secure deployment pipelines
  • One of the following Google Cloud certifications (or equivalent hands-on experience):
    • Professional Cloud DevOps Engineer
    • Professional Cloud Security Engineer
    • Professional Cloud Architect
    • Associate Cloud Engineer

Nice-to-haves

  • Experience writing Go-based infrastructure tooling or operators
  • Familiarity with SOC 2 audit processes and compliance documentation
  • Knowledge of serverless workers, vulnerability scanning, and supply chain security
  • Background with AWS or Azure (for comparison and migration perspective)

Location & hours

Remote. Preference for Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam). Applicants elsewhere are welcome but must work ASEAN hours with at least 4 hours daily overlap.

Compensation & contract

  • Contract role; you handle your own taxes/insurance per local law
  • Base USD $2,000–$4,000/month (DOE)
  • Initial 90-day contract with potential extension
  • Fully remote; flexible hours with core overlap
