About Vapi

Build, test, and deploy advanced voice AI agents in minutes with Vapi. The platform for developers creating conversational voice AI. Backed by Bessemer, Peak XV and Y Combinator.

About the role

30 Day : Get fluent in the Pulumi stacks, the ArgoCD setup, and GitHub Actions pipelines. Sit with engineers from agents and FDE teams to find the top 3 deploy pain points. Land a quality-of-life improvement to the deploy pipeline. 60 Day : Own progressive delivery end-to-end — canary, automated rollback, soak — for at least one critical service path. Ship the first version of cell-creation tooling or preview environments. Make the deploy pipeline measurably faster (lead time, MTTR for failed deploys).

What they're looking for

  • Must-haves
  • You have a platform-as-a-product mindset — you treat internal engineers as customers, with SLAs, docs, and feedback loops, not tickets and ad-hoc help
  • You’ve operated Pulumi (TypeScript) or Terraform at scale (40+ stacks, multi-region) and you’ve felt the pain when IaC sprawl gets ahead of you
  • You’ve run ArgoCD or equivalent GitOps for deploying applications across multiple clusters
  • You’ve built progressive delivery in production — canary, blue/green, automated rollback, soak periods. You can describe a real rollout that automated rollback caught
  • You’ve designed CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions preferred) for many services and Dockerfiles, not just one repo

Three of our worst recent incidents — Nov 29 config rollout, Dec 23 duplicate messages, Oct 13 egress proxy — were resolved by rollback. That’s the SDLC gap this role closes. Vapi engineers are your users, and the deploy pipeline, preview environments, cell-creation tooling, and oncall tooling are products with SLAs, docs, and feedback loops.

You’ll own progressive delivery (canary, blue/green, automated rollback, soak periods), the GitOps story across multiple clusters and regions, and the on-demand environment tooling that’s on the Q3 roadmap. Success is measured by how fast every other team ships safely.
