[Hiring] DevOps / Platform Engineer to build a managed hosting layer ($10k-$20k, Remote)

Hi,

We're a team building an open-source AI tool. Right now, deployments are fully self-hosted, which is great for power users but a massive friction point for getting anyone else onboard.

We want to build a managed hosting layer where a user can simply log in, pick a hardware tier, and instantly get their own isolated, authenticated environment running the app. We have the core product handled, but infrastructure orchestration isn't our main focus, so we are looking for an expert to architect and build this piece from the ground up.

The main challenges are programmatic provisioning, handling the user lifecycle, and ensuring rock-solid data persistence so users never lose their state if a server goes down.

We aren't going to dictate the stack. We just need a pragmatic builder who can design a cost-effective, scalable, and future-proof solution without defaulting to massive cloud lock-in.

We have a fixed budget of $10,000 to $20,000 for the initial build, which we can break down into clear milestones. Once the MVP is live, we are hoping to keep you around to handle ongoing maintenance, scaling, and alerts. We can easily transition that into a monthly retainer or a revenue-share model once the platform starts generating MRR.

If a greenfield project like this sounds like fun, shoot me a DM. Just include a quick note on how you would roughly approach the architecture and your current availability.
