The Boring Company was founded to solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic by creating an underground network of tunnels. Today, we are creating the technology to increase tunneling speed and decrease costs by a factor of 10 or more with the ultimate goal of making Hyperloop adoption viable and enabling rapid transit across densely populated regions.
As a DevOps Engineer you will be assessing current systems and processes, and developing ways to improve them. In this role, there will be a big focus on automation. We are looking for someone who has built from 0, not managing simply from what other's have built. This role would also have kubernetes deployment involved in the day to day. We are looking for engineers with CI/CD building experience.
Over time, we expect this role will be pulled into internal app development, so experience integrating applications together via API is a major bonus in any candidate that applies.

What We Do
To solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic, roads must go 3D, which means either flying cars or tunnels. Unlike flying cars, tunnels are weatherproof, out of sight and won't fall on your head. A large network of tunnels many levels deep would fix congestion in any city, no matter how large it grew (just keep adding levels). The key to making this work is increasing tunneling speed and dropping costs by a factor of 10 or more – this is the goal of The Boring Company. Fast to dig, low cost tunnels would also make Hyperloop adoption viable and enable rapid transit across densely populated regions, enabling travel from New York to Washington DC in less than 30 minutes.
