About the Role

Dawn is building Data Access Intelligence – a new security layer that detects illegitimate data access. We help enterprises identify credential theft, insider risk, and Shadow AI before they become breaches. We’re an early-stage startup with offices in New York and Tel Aviv, governing how both humans and non-human identities access sensitive data.

We’re looking for a hands-on DevOps/Platform Engineering Lead to own the entire infrastructure lifecycle of our GCP-based multi-tenant SaaS platform. You’ll be the first infrastructure hire, responsible for building the foundation from scratch and eventually growing the team. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role where you’ll make foundational decisions that shape the platform for years.

• CI/CD Pipeline: Set up Terraform state management, Cloud Build triggers, and blue-green deployments
• Security & Compliance: Implement Secret Manager, Cloud KMS, Cloud Armor, and multi-tenant isolation
• Monitoring & Observability: Build dashboards, configure distributed tracing, design alerting hierarchy
• Disaster Recovery & Operations: Configure cross-region DR, automate failover, create incident runbooks
• Cost Management: Set up billing exports, budget alerts, and per-tenant cost tracking

• Strong GCP experience (GKE, Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub, BigQuery, Memorystore)
• Proficiency with Terraform (modules, state management, workspaces)

Nice to Have
