Why This Role Matters

Really Great Reading is at an exciting and important inflection point.

This role sits at the heart of how we serve schools and students — because great infrastructure is what lets great instruction reach the classroom.

The Role

As Senior DevOps Engineer, you’ll own day-to-day operational stability across both environments during a critical transition window.

What You Bring

Required

• Strong expertise in AWS (EC2, RDS, VPC, IAM, S3, CloudWatch, and related services)
• Significant hands-on experience with GCP (Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud SQL, IAM, VPC, Cloud Logging)
• Proficiency with Terraform — modules, state management, and best practices
• Solid production experience with Docker and Kubernetes
• Strong understanding of cloud networking, security, and IAM
• Experience with at least one CI/CD platform (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, or similar)
• Comfortable scripting in Bash, Python, or Go

Nice to Have

Building the Best Team in Literacy Starts Here

At Really Great Reading, we believe literacy changes lives — and building the best team in literacy starts with building the systems, rhythm, and leadership infrastructure that allow great people to do their best work.

We are seeking a highly organized, emotionally intelligent, digitally fluent Assistant to the CEO to serve as the connective tissue of our leadership team. This role is part strategic support, part operational anchor, and part growth accelerator — supporting the CEO while learning every corner of the business that helps us improve student outcomes nationwide.

This is an early- to mid-career role for someone who wants to grow into leadership, master enterprise operations, and play a visible role in how a mission-driven organization scales with excellence. 

Why This Role Matters

You won’t just manage calendars.
You will increase leadership capacity.
You won’t just track tasks.
You will protect execution.
You won’t just coordinate meetings.
You will help build the operating system behind the best literacy company in the country.

Your work directly strengthens clarity, accountability, communication, and speed across the organization — which ultimately impacts the students and educators we serve.

What You’ll Do

Executive Operations & Leadership Support

• Own and optimize the CEO’s calendar, priorities, meetings, and communications

What You Bring

• Comfort working in a fast-paced, growing environment

Preferred

• Experience in EdTech, SaaS, or professional services
• Experience drafting executive communications and reports
• Familiarity with remote team workflows

Why You’ll Love Working Here
