About Lucidya

Lucidya is an AI-native Customer Experience Intelligence platform enabling enterprises to understand, engage, and retain customers at scale. Unlike tools that just surface insights, Lucidya completes the loop with proprietary AI capabilities, helping teams take action and improve customer experiences across marketing, support, and research.

As we scale globally, building reliable, scalable, and automated infrastructure is a top priority. DevOps is a core pillar of our engineering strategy, and we are investing heavily in deployment pipelines, observability, and operational efficiency across all products.

Why This Role Matters

Our engineering teams deliver fast-moving, AI-driven products, and the backbone of their speed and reliability is solid infrastructure and automation. As a DevOps Engineer, you’ll ensure our systems scale seamlessly, deployments happen without friction, and incidents are caught before they impact users. You’ll enable our teams to move faster, focus on building features, and trust that the platform is rock-solid.

You’ll be part of shaping the operational culture at Lucidya, where automation, reliability, and proactive problem solving aren’t just buzzwords, they’re outcomes we obsess over every day.
