We’re a private company with strong capital reserves and no outside investors, making us a stable, independent, and fast-moving place to grow your career. You’ll work directly with the CEO and leadership team, have a real voice in strategy, and see your ideas go live fast.
We’re scaling quickly to become one of the largest privately-owned companies in iGaming. A team where smart, driven people can have a massive impact and build something enduring.
About the role
The DevOps / AI Infrastructure Engineer owns the reliability, performance, and scalability of Paradise Media’s production infrastructure and AI platform. This is not traditional DevOps, you will build and maintain the infrastructure that powers autonomous AI agents, LLM pipelines, and machine learning workloads alongside 10+ WordPress content sites. The company operates across iGaming, esports, lifestyle, news, and legal verticals. Your job is to solve that permanently using AI-powered infrastructure: self-healing systems driven by AI monitoring agents, AI-assisted CI/CD that catches issues before deployment, and autonomous infrastructure management that runs 24/7. You will use AI coding tools daily to build infrastructure at 10x velocity.
