DevOps Engineer

About Apty:

Apty is a Digital Adoption Platform (DAP) that operates directly within web applications to improve user productivity, enforce process compliance, and eliminate friction in complex enterprise workflows.

Technically, Apty sits in a unique layer: on top of third-party applications, requiring deep runtime integration, browser extensions, and a high-scale multi-tenant backend processing millions of user interactions.

This is systems-heavy engineering, not standard infrastructure maintenance.
