MincaAI is an AI-native insurance software company. HQ at Station F (Paris) x Mexico, operations across LatAm. We build production AI systems for enterprise insurance carriers across three pillars — underwriting, policy issuance, and billing automation.
The Role
This is a builder role with real ownership. Architecture is not one-size-fits-all. We operate a SILO model — each client engagement has a different infra topology.
With some clients, we coordinate with their in-house infrastructure team.
With others, we own QA and Prod end-to-end. You need to be comfortable pivoting between these modes and pragmatic about which pattern fits which client.
Workload split.
This engagement is roughly 80% platform / DevOps (K8s, OpenShift, GitOps, CI/CD, observability) and 20% code quality ownership.
What You'll Own
- Operate and evolve the self-managed K8s cluster on AWS (ingress, TLS automation, bootstrap tooling).
- GitOps with ArgoCD: sync policies, drift/self-heal, automated image reconciliation.
- Helm charts: zero-downtime rollouts, HPA, PDBs, quotas, default-deny network policies, migration hooks.
- CI/CD on GitHub Actions with self-hosted runners: path-aware pipelines, semantic releases, environment gates.
- Secrets & supply chain: SOPS + AWS KMS, IAM hygiene, secret scanning, immutable tags, fail-closed defaults.
- AWS + Terraform: managed Postgres/Redis, object storage with tenant isolation, KMS, ECR, pod-level IAM.
- Observability: OpenTelemetry (logs/traces/metrics), Prometheus-compatible backend, alerting on AI workloads.
- SonarQube ownership
- DevEx & CLI tooling: contribute to internal developer tooling, CLIs,
and workflows that make the whole team faster.
- Continuous improvement, not one-off setup: ongoing maintenance and evolution of infrastructure and workflows as the product and client base grow.
Our Stack
- Orchestration: Kubernetes (self-managed), OpenShift, Helm, ArgoCD
- CI/CD: GitHub Actions on self-hosted runners
- Cloud/IaC: AWS (ECR, S3, KMS, RDS, ElastiCache, IAM), Terraform
- Secrets: SOPS + AWS KMS
- Data: PostgreSQL + pgvector, Redis (streams + cache), S3
- Observability: OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Prometheus-compatible store
- Apps: Python / FastAPI microservices, Vite + React + TypeScript
How We Work
- SOLID, DRY, KISS. Small focused changes. No new tech debt.
- If a request conflicts with best practice, you push back and propose better.
- Reproducible by default: IaC + GitOps as source of truth.
- Reproduce before you fix: bugs get captured in a test before the patch lands.
Success
- Deploys on both clusters are one-click, observable, reversible.
- Secrets, image, and IAM hygiene pass audit with fail-closed defaults.
- CI is fast and trustworthy — flakiness and manual steps are gone.
- Autoscaling and quotas tuned. Environments stable under load, no over-provisioning.
- Logistics Contract: Freelance, 4 months (extension possible based on fit and roadmap).
- Location: Remote, LatAm-based (Argentina / Colombia / Mexico preferred).
- Languages: Professional English required. Spanish required.
- Start: ASAP.
