Bash: EKS Fleet Health ReportereasyFree
Write a Bash tool that audits a Kubernetes cluster and produces a health report suitable for a first-DevOps-hire onboarding audit. No cluster access needed — the lab ships canned kubectl JSON fixtures you parse with jq.
Terragrunt: Multi-Env EKS Modulemedium
Design a Terragrunt layout that stamps out a shared EKS module across dev/staging/prod without copy-pasted HCL. Uses OpenTofu + LocalStack-compatible AWS provider so `tofu plan` works offline.
KEDA: Scale Scrapers on Queue Depthhard
Deploy a toy scraper workload in your k3s namespace that scales 0→N based on queue depth, mirroring Vetric's event-driven data-pipeline shape. Uses Prometheus + KEDA ScaledObject.

medium
Design the observability platform for Vetric's first real infra buildout: ~200 microservices scraping public web data, 20+ countries of customers, one small team on-call. What do metrics, logs, and traces look like end-to-end?
hard
Design the ingest pipeline for a new scraper tier that collects 200k public posts/sec across 20+ countries, feeding cybersecurity and public-safety customers who need ≤5min end-to-end latency.
hard
Vetric is bootstrapped-profitable and your AWS bill just hit a number leadership doesn't love. Redesign the EKS + scraping footprint to cut 40% of cloud spend without reducing throughput or SLA.

Company coverage
Vetric is a Tel Aviv-based, bootstrapped, profitable public-data-infrastructure/OSINT company founded in 2022 that sells managed data pipelines and APIs to cybersecurity, public-safety and digital-risk-protection customers. It is small (~45 people) but growing fast, with revenue reportedly rising from $250K (2022) to $15.5M (end of 2025) and a $30M target for 2026. The role is the company's first DevOps hire, owning the whole function on an AWS + Kubernetes + data-pipeline stack.
No recent layoffs found
No layoffs found; Vetric is absent from Calcalist's 2026 Israeli high-tech layoffs list, and signals point to growth (active hiring, new product, first DevOps hire).

Talking points
- →Emphasize full ownership as the first DevOps hire: setting standards from scratch for IaC, CI/CD, observability, and on-call.
- →Speak their architecture back: Temporal + Parquet-in-S3 orchestration/data separation, Postgres read replicas, EKS at scale — and why.
- →Highlight reliability and on-call maturity with real-time, high-uptime systems (life-safety use cases).
Risks
- !Single point of leadership & small team — you'd be a lone DevOps function initially; clarify support and on-call load.
- !No external funding cushion; CEO acknowledges no large runway buffer if revenue stumbles.

Culture
- · Bootstrapped and profitable — expect cost-consciousness and long-term thinking over hypergrowth spend.
- · First DevOps hire with full technical authority — candidate must be opinionated and self-directed.
- · Small sharp team, infrastructure-matters tone — engineering discipline valued over ticket-churn.
- · Mission-critical customers (cybersecurity, public safety) — reliability and uptime carry real weight.
- · Global customer base across 20+ countries — implies 24/7 reliability expectations and likely on-call.
- · In-office Tel Aviv role (not flagged remote) — assume hybrid/on-site collaboration.
From the question bank
- Write a Bash one-liner that tails every pod's logs in a namespace and highlights any line containing 'ERROR' or '5xx'.
- Tell me about a time a deploy went wrong in production. What was the blast radius, how did you recover, and what did you change afterwards?
- A customer reports that one of our internal Kubernetes-hosted services is returning 502s intermittently. Walk me through how you'd investigate, starting from zero context.

Original job description
DevOps Engineer Engineering Tel Aviv, IsraelSeniorFull-time Description What is Vetric? Vetric builds large-scale public data infrastructure. We provide data pipelines that collect, structure, and deliver high-volume public web data for mission-critical companies operating in cybersecurity, public safety and digital risk protection. Our systems power platforms that detect bad actors, uncover impersonation and fraud, identify coordinated manipulation, and help public safety organizations respond faster to real-world risks. We don’t build dashboards, and we don’t sell surface-level insights. We build stable, production-grade data flows that become part of our customers’ core products, with the real impact of saving lives or huge known organizations from bad actors. Operating globally, we serve industry leaders across more than 20 countries who rely on us for scale, reliability, and depth. Why Vetric? Vetric is profitable from day one (fully bootstrapped - we haven’t raised external funding), and we’re building foundational technology - not chasing trends. Because this is infrastructure that matters, we operate with engineering discipline, strong ownership, and long-term thinking. We’re at a true inflection point: the team is now large enough to require real infrastructure, yet still small enough that what you build will define how things work for the next several years. This is infrastructure that matters and so is how we operate internally. You’ll be working with a sharp, focused team that takes engineering discipline seriously and is intentionally building an organization that matches the quality of its product. Position Overview We are seeking a DevOps Engineer to lead and own the entire DevOps function at Vetric. As our first DevOps hire, you won’t just maintain systems, you will set the vision, establish best practices, and build the foundation of our infrastructure strategy for years to come. This is a unique opportunity to step into an impactful role with full technical authority, influencing architectural decisions and guiding how our engineering teams deliver, scale, and secure our large-scale, data-intensive platform. Responsibilities: Define and drive Vetric’s infrastructure strategy across all environments Architect and operate Kubernetes clusters at production scale with a focus on reliability, resilience, and data-heavy workloads Lead the adoption of Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, OpenTofu, Terragrunt) and establish automation standards Implement modern CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, ArgoCD, or similar) Champion observability, monitoring, and reliability engineering practices Build and optimize infrastructure that powers large-scale, data-driven pipelines at massive scale Serve as the technical authority for all DevOps matters, influencing and aligning engineering teams Partner with engineering leadership to shape infrastructure roadmaps and technology choices Requirements Qualifications: 5+ years of deep, hands-on AWS experience (EKS, EC2, networking, IAM, scaling) Proven success in senior DevOps / Cloud Engineering leadership roles Expert knowledge of Terraform and modern IaC tools (OpenTofu, Terragrunt) Strong Kubernetes expertise at scale (design, scaling, optimization) Experience running high-scale, production-grade environments handling large data volumes Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence, guide, and align teams Solid scripting/automation skills (Bash, JavaScript, Python, or similar) Familiarity with cloud-native monitoring & logging stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, CloudWatch, etc.) We’d be lucky if you: Experience with Amazon ECS Proficiency with GitHub or similar platforms (GitLab, Bitbucket, etc.) Exposure to event-driven architectures and autoscaling frameworks (KEDA or similar)
