About the Company
Why We Built Lyric: Supply chains are more critical and complex than ever. Every day, large enterprises navigate trillions of possible decisions that could impact the bottom line. Powerful algorithms and AI can address these problems, yet most organizations struggle to leverage supply chain AI at scale. The current SCM technologies are either rigid, limited-scope point solutions or custom solutions built in-house, which demand immense expertise and investment.
That is…until now.
Enter Lyric: Lyric is an enterprise AI platform built specifically for supply chains, offering the best of both worlds:
Out-of-the-box AI solutions for optimizing networks, allocating inventory, scheduling routes, planning fulfillment capacity, promising orders, propagating demand, building predictions, analyzing scenarios, and more, plus
A platform-first approach that empowers both business and technical users with end-to-end product composability, leveraging no-code tools, their own code, or even forking our code to build and refine supply chain decision intelligence
With Lyric, enterprises no longer have to choose between flexibility and speed, they get both.
The Mission: We’re building a new era in supply chain with the team best equipped to lead it. With over 20 years at the intersection of supply chain and algorithms, we developed a deep conviction that global supply chains needed something like Lyric. Since our inception in December 2021, that conviction has been validated time and time again.
Today, a growing number of Fortune 500 companies, including Smurfit WestRock, Estée Lauder, Coca-Cola, Nike, and more, are innovating on their own terms with Lyric. We can’t wait to see what our customers, both current and future, are empowered to build with us next. Come build with us!
Role OverviewWe are seeking a DevOps Engineer (Cloud Native Backend) to join our platform engineering team. In this role, you’ll work on building and maintaining the infrastructure backbone of Lyric. You will design and develop custom Kubernetes operators, create DevOps tooling, and drive adoption of GitOps and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) best practices.
You’ll collaborate closely with backend, ML, and SRE teams to ensure our platform is reliable, scalable, and developer-friendly.
What You’ll DoBuild custom Kubernetes operators to automate infrastructure and application lifecycles.
Develop internal DevOps tooling to improve developer productivity and deployment reliability.
Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform / Crossplane / Pulumi.
Champion GitOps practices to enable declarative, version-controlled operations.
Optimize CI/CD pipelines for microservices and data workloads.
Collaborate with developers to design cloud-native systems and scalable backend infrastructure.
Monitor, secure, and continuously improve the reliability of our cloud environments (AWS / GCP / Azure).
3–8 years of professional experience in DevOps / Platform Engineering / Cloud Native Backend.
Strong proficiency with Kubernetes internals and hands-on experience writing custom operators/controllers (e.g., using Go, Python, or Java).
Experience with IaC frameworks (Terraform, Pulumi, Crossplane, etc.).
Solid understanding of GitOps workflows and tools like ArgoCD / Flux.
Experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc.).
Familiarity with cloud providers (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and container ecosystems.
Strong coding ability in at least one programming language (Go preferred, Python acceptable).
Knowledge of observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, OpenTelemetry) is a plus.
Passion for automation, clean abstractions, and cloud-native best practices.
Be part of a Series-B scaleup redefining the supply chain industry with AI.
Solve hard infrastructure problems with cutting-edge cloud-native technologies.
Work in a culture of autonomy, high impact, and rapid iteration.
Competitive compensation and opportunities for career growth.
