So fast that a handful of vertically integrated providers won't be able to scale across operations, capital, supply chains, and politics to serve it. The result is a massive wave of fragmentation, with AI factories of every shape and size coming to market to fill this demand. Our job is to enable all of that fragmented compute to flow through one platform, delivering reliable capacity to model builders, research labs, and inference providers when they need it. We believe every spare electron should be made productive for AI and we're building the platform that makes that possible.\nWe sit at the center of three forces:\nCompanies that need reliable, high-performance compute fast\n\nA fragmented global supply of GPUs across hyperscalers, neoclouds, and independent data centers\n\nCapital, risk, and operational complexity that most teams are not equipped to manage\n\nWhen we succeed, trillions of dollars of compute will flow through Andromeda. Builders get capacity when they need it. Providers get a reliable way to monetize, operate, and finance infrastructure at scale. Capital gets an easy way to deploy, hedge, and underwrite.\nIn five years, Andromeda won't just participate in the AI infrastructure market. We will shape it.\nThe Role\nAs an Infrastructure Product Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in building the backbone of Andromeda’s platform. You'll transform complex, real-world infrastructure challenges into scalable product capabilities that benefit our customers.\nPositioned at the intersection of infrastructure and product engineering, this role is deeply technical and systems-oriented, yet laser-focused on building solutions with broad leverage.\nWhat You'll Do\nDesign and develop core platform components, including infrastructure orchestration, provisioning, and lifecycle management solutions.\n\nBuild robust APIs, services, and control planes that abstract over diverse infrastructure types (VMs, Kubernetes, bare metal, schedulers).\n\nTranslate customer usage patterns into product requirements, delivering impactful features and improvements.\n\nCreate automation and internal tooling to eliminate manual or ad-hoc operational work.\n\nEnhance reliability, performance, and observability at the platform level, emphasizing durable improvements over quick fixes.\n\nCollaborate with peer teams to define clear ownership boundaries between platform capabilities and customer-specific solutions.\n\nWrite clean, maintainable, and well-documented code with a focus on long-term sustainability.\n\nParticipate in technical design discussions and contribute to the architectural evolution of our platform.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\n5+ years of experience in Infrastructure, Platform, or Backend Engineering roles.\n\nStrong systems fundamentals: deep understanding of Linux, networking, storage, and distributed systems.\n\nProven expertise with Kubernetes, VMs, or bare-metal environments.\n\nAdvanced software engineering skills; capable of building production-grade APIs and services (Python, Go, or similar).\n\nExtensive experience with infrastructure as code and automation tools (Terraform, Ansible, Helm, etc.).\n\nDemonstrated ability to navigate ambiguity and distill complex problems into clear, maintainable abstractions.\n\nProduct-focused mindset: care about interfaces, defaults, reliability, and sustainable operations.\n\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills; effective collaborator across engineering and product functions.\n\nNice to Have:\nHands-on experience with GPU or AI infrastructure.\n\nExperience with control-plane or orchestration systems.\n\nBackground spanning both infrastructure and application/backend engineering.\n\nExperience architecting multi-tenant systems.\n\nStrong skills in technical writing and design documentation.\n\nEarly-stage startup experience.\n\nWhy You’ll Love It Here\nThis is a true builder’s opportunity: you’ll have ownership and autonomy to shape our systems, engage directly with customers and providers, and lay the foundations for scalable, reliable AI infrastructure. Join us at Andromeda and help power the future of AI.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4336,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Canada","iso":"CA","kind":"region"},{"name":"United
