About Density

Density’s mission is to measure and improve our footprint on the world. 

We help companies understand how their workplaces are used. At Density, we build one of the most advanced people sensing systems in the world. Density can tell you how many people are in any room in near real-time, with very high degrees of accuracy and without invading privacy.

We translate that data into actionable, opinionated insights that help companies increase the financial and experiential performance of any workplace. Today, we work with companies ranging from Fortune 1000 to high growth such as Uber, Pinterest, Shopify and Okta, occupying more than a billion square feet worldwide. 

The result: lower emissions, less waste, better access, safer buildings and better designed cities. It is a long term pursuit and one we could use your help achieving. That’s where you come in.

 

The opportunity:

We’re looking for talented Infrastructure Engineers to help us build one of the most advanced people sensing systems in the world. We’re architecting infrastructure where annual, unscheduled downtime is measured in minutes. We’re building intelligent redundancies so missed events are an oddity. The Infrastructure team is responsible for all of the cloud resources that power Density’s business. We’re a small group of engineers with broad experience and a passion for building reliable systems and thoughtful tools. Our positioning within Density is unique— our customers are other members of the engineering team. The products we build help application engineers deliver value to Density’s customers quickly and effectively. As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer, you will help define, design, build, and manage the infrastructure that enables these products.

In this role you will:

  • Own, operate, and maintain production Kubernetes clusters running thousands of containers.
  • Be a core contributor to our roadmap initiatives, namely our migration to Kubernetes and re-architecture of internal tooling. Since we are transitioning to Kubernetes, having knowledge of Nomad is not a requirement but a nice to have.
  • Look for areas of improvement across our stack, design a solution, and see it through to production.
  • Evangelize new designs and work with developer feedback to build a system that is robust, easy to use, and satisfies the use case.
  • Participate in 24/7 on call rotation for infrastructure issues. Participate in and coordinate incident response during production outages. 
  • Find satisfaction in working remotely from your home.

The ideal candidate will have: 

  • 5+ years experience in an SRE, Infrastructure or DevOps role.
  • Background operating and maintaining container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes
  • Experience with automation and configuration management tools like Terraform, Packer, Ansible, or equivalent
  • Strong background in Linux/Unix fundamentals, including systemd, shell scripting, performance tuning
  • Ability to design and manage CI / CD pipelines (ArgoCD, Helm, Sops, Github Actions .. )
  • Experience with incident response processes and outage resolution
  • Strong writing skills; ability to craft clear and concise documentation

Nice-To-Have:

  • Significant prior experience with observability and logging platforms such as DataDog and OpenSearch.
  • Significant prior experience operating and maintaining high performance logging and metrics pipelines using Vector, Fluentd, or similar.
  • Experience using observability tools to tie metrics to application scaling.
  • Have built metrics pipelines processing 100,000s or 1,000,000s of lines per minute.
  • Experience operating APIs and web applications, like Go Gin/Connect-GO, Rust, Python Django/Flask,etc.
  • A solid understanding of Linux security fundamentals.

We offer:

  • A company full of fun, smart, talented and legitimately kind teammates. Our culture powers everything we do and we work hard to nurture it by bringing on the right humans.
  • A team hailing from innovators like Apple, LinkedIn, Stripe, Meraki, Flexport, WeWork, NASA & beyond.
  • $227M raised from investors including Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund and Upfront Ventures.
  • The chance to change the built world as we know it.

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Density’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.


Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
