DevOps Engineer (USA Timezone) - $5k/month

Hey, I'm Maddie Wang, Stanford CS. Building Vision (vson.ai), AI development platform for teams.

Teams can bring their own repo, prompt on it, preview changes, and deploy live. Like Lovable but on your existing codebase

Product works, first customers are onboarding. now the MVP needs to become real infrastructure - that's you

Looking for someone who takes apps from "works on my machine" to running reliably on actual servers. You are basically building "railway" or "heroku" or "supabase" kind of infra. Fast-paced, intentional, wants to grow with the company

------
Details
- Up to $5,000 USD/month
- Full-time, remote (Philippines)

First two projects
- Production nodes - Provision VPS instances to run customer builds in production: Docker deploys, networking, firewalls, SSL, monitoring.
- Managed Postgres - Provisioning, secure access, backups.
-----

Must-haves

- Docker (images, compose, debugging in production)
- Linux servers (SSH, systemd, logs, troubleshooting)
- Networking (DNS, nginx/Caddy, firewalls, SSL)
- Postgres (setup, backups, tuning)
- Bash/Python scripting

Nice to have: GitHub Actions, Terraform/Ansible, multi-tenant or PaaS experience, monitoring tools.

How we work
- Small, fast team. You'll be working directly with me. We will be coding a lot lol.

Big believer in quality:
- When we ship stuff, we are very intentional about what we build. Think through edge cases.
- We test it well, and monitor it so it doesn't break the same way twice.

To apply, send me
1. Have you deployed production apps as Docker images on a VPS? How did you build the images and how did you know when something broke?
2. Have you run Postgres in production? What was your backup strategy, and did you ever have to restore?
3. Your github
