Sayari is a risk intelligence provider that equips the public and private sectors with immediate visibility into complex commercial relationships by delivering the largest commercially available collection of corporate and trade data from over 250 jurisdictions worldwide. Sayari's solutions enable risk resilience, mission‑critical investigations, and better economic decisions.

Sayari is entering a new phase of technical scale, driven by a wave of AI‑native applications and a strategic shift in our data architecture. We are looking for a Principal Cloud Infrastructure Engineer who is a platform builder  this role, you will be an architect and engineer for our Kubernetes‑first platform. You will initially play a critical role in two major initiatives: supporting the infrastructure management of Snowflake and the evolution of our Fin Ops practice from reactive reporting to proactive governance‑as‑code.

This is a hands‑on, high‑autonomy role for an engineer who loves to automate complex problems and use modern AI tools to accelerate the velocity.

• Architect the K8s Ecosystem:
  Lead the evolution of our Kubernetes clusters, ensuring they are optimized for the high‑compute demands of AI‑native applications and LLM workloads. Evolve our CI/CD ecosystem (Git Hub Actions, ArgoCD) into a seamless, self‑service platform designed specifically for the rapid deployment of microservices and AI‑driven apps.
• Support AI Velocity:
  Ensure our infrastructure can keep pace with the high‑velocity creation of AI tools and applications, managing segmentation, dependency connections, and compute scaling efficiently.
• AI-Enhanced Engineering:
  Act as a force multiplier by using modern AI tools to accelerate coding, debugging, and process automation.
• Execute Snowflake Infrastructure:
  Own the infrastructure side of Snowflake, including account provisioning, access controls, and network architecture, ensuring a solid foundation for our data and application engineering teams.
• Automate Fin Ops Governance:
  Go beyond monthly reports by implementing “governance‑as‑code.” Write automated policies and scripts that actively manage resource life cycles, tag compliance, and prevent wasteful cloud spend before it happens.
• Advance Infrastructure as Code:
  Manage and scale our IaC (Terraform), with modular, reusable patterns that allow developers to provision what they need within guardrails.

• Deep production experience with GCP or AWS. You understand how to architect for resilience and security in a multi‑cloud environment.
• Expert‑level proficiency with Terraform. You don't just run plans; you write modular, scalable code from scratch.
• Hands‑on experience building CI/CD pipelines with Git Hub Actions and managing deployments using tools such as ArgoCD or Flux.
• Strong scripting/coding ability in Bash and Python.
• Proven experience automating cloud cost controls. You understand how to implement cost attribution strategies and automated cleanup policies.
• Experience provisioning and securing Snowflake environments from an infrastructure perspective.
• Experience using AI tools to accelerate coding, debugging, process automation, and documentation.
• Familiarity with Site Reliability Engineering principles, including defining SLIs/SLOs, managing error budgets, and structured incident response.

• Experience with tools such as Terragrunt and Atlantis for advanced IaC workflows.
• Familiarity with tools such as Elastic Cloud or Datadog for monitoring and observability.
• Experience building or managing Internal Developer Portals.
