Senior DevOps Engineer
At Chromatic, our mission is to improve the UX of the internet and safeguard the world's pixels. We're building tools that make it impossible to ship broken pixels. Thousands of front-end teams—including BBC, Shopify, and Adobe—use Storybook and Chromatic to map every state of their applications and ensure each one is tested and approved before reaching the billions of people who interact with them daily.
Our elastic browser rendering grid runs on AWS, taking millions of snapshots daily while maintaining resilience, consistency, and fast performance. As our customer base grows in both self-serve and enterprise, and enabling agentic workflows expands our potential attack surface, we're facing novel infrastructure and security challenges that need to be solved proactively. We're looking for a DevOps engineer who can help us secure, stabilize, and architect the future of our systems so that Chromatic remains an essential and trusted component of our customers' development workflows.
