About
The Role
We are looking for a passionate Infrastructure Engineer to join our growing team and help build and operate foundational services for a large-scale, AI-driven platform. Your work will support high reliability, scalability, and performance, enabling us to serve millions of users and meet enterprise-grade infrastructure needs.
What You’ll Do
- Design and implement critical infrastructure services with well-defined Service Level Objectives (SLOs), robust runbooks, and actionable telemetry.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (research, product) to architect solutions, prototype infrastructure, assess performance, and scale new features.
- Tune service performance: optimize networking paths, implement smart caching and queuing strategies, and fine-tune CPU/memory/I/O to meet tight p95 and p99 latency targets.
- Evolve and improve CI/CD workflows, define “golden paths,” and build self-service tools to boost developer velocity and ensure platform safety.
- Support multiple deployment architectures, ensuring customers have reliable observability and upgrade mechanisms.
- Drive infrastructure-as-code (IaC) practices, primarily using Terraform, enforce Git Ops workflows, reduce drift via reusable modules, and apply policy-as-code.
- Participate in on-call rotations and continually reduce operational toil by automating repetitive tasks and preventing recurring incidents.
2–6 years of experience in infrastructure engineering, site reliability engineering, or a closely related role.
- Strong experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and Git Ops practices.
- Deep understanding of monitoring, telemetry, and observability tools.
- Proven ability to optimize system performance (networking, caching, CPU/memory/I/O).
- Experience building or improving CI/CD pipelines and developer self-service platforms.
- Hands-on with deployment architectures and operational practices for scalable, production-level systems.
- Experience participating in on-call rotations and reducing operational burden through automation.
- Excellent collaboration skills, with the ability to partner with product and research teams.
- Demonstrated ownership, problem-solving mindset, and drive to build for scale.
- Competitive base salary + equity.
- Opportunity to build infrastructure for a highly scalable, AI-powered product.
- Work in a fast-growth environment that values reliability, automation, and developer experience.
