What You'll Do

We're looking for a Staff Infrastructure Engineer to help lead core parts of our platform. You'll design, build, and scale the cloud infrastructure that powers our AI and GenAI workloads — ensuring reliability, security, and performance as we grow.

This is your chance to shape the backbone of a platform trusted by Fortune 100 companies — building systems that are resilient, observable, and ready to scale with the next wave of AI.

How You'll Make an Impact:

Design, deploy, and manage production-grade cloud infrastructure on AWS, GCP, or Azure to support AI/GenAI workloads at scale
Build and maintain Kubernetes clusters and container orchestration pipelines for high-availability services
Develop and evolve infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi, or similar) to ensure reproducible, auditable environments
Implement comprehensive observability — monitoring, logging, alerting, and tracing — to maintain system health and accelerate incident response
Harden infrastructure security posture through network policies, secrets management, IAM best practices, and compliance controls
Optimize cost, performance, and reliability of GPU and compute-intensive workloads that power generative AI capabilities
Collaborate closely with Product, Engineering, and Security partners to define SLOs and drive continuous improvements in platform resilience
Automate CI/CD pipelines and deployment workflows to enable fast, safe releases across environments
Mentor and support fellow engineers, contributing to a strong infrastructure engineering culture

What You Bring:

10+ years of Infrastructure, DevOps, or Site Reliability Engineering experience, with a strong track record of building and operating production systems at scale
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
Deep expertise with Kubernetes, Docker, and container orchestration in production environments
Strong proficiency with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation
Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including networking, compute, storage, and identity services
Solid understanding of observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or similar) and incident management practices
Experience with security best practices for cloud-native environments — including network segmentation, secrets management, and compliance frameworks
Excellent communication skills and the ability to thrive independently and in collaborative teams
Bonus: Experience scaling infrastructure for AI/ML or generative AI workloads, including GPU orchestration
