Build Cloud & Kubernetes Infrastructure\nBuild reusable Terraform/Pulumi modules and infrastructure frameworks\n\nDevelop Kubernetes operators, controllers, and platform components\n\nDesign highly available multi-AZ and multi-region infrastructure\n\nAutomate provisioning, scaling, failover, and infrastructure lifecycle management\n\nExplore AI-driven automation for infrastructure provisioning, optimization, and operational decision-making\n\n3. Engineer Reliability & Production Systems\nDesign systems for availability, failure isolation, graceful degradation, and automated recovery\n\nDefine and improve SLOs, SLIs, error budgets, and reliability metrics\n\nBuild observability, diagnostics, and production troubleshooting capabilities\n\nBuild AI-assisted incident detection, triage, root-cause analysis, and remediation workflows\n\nDrive improvements to MTTR, capacity, performance, and operational toil\n\n4.Build Secure & Efficient Infrastructure\nBuild IAM, secrets management, policy, and compliance automation\n\nEmbed security and governance controls into infrastructure workflows\n\nBuild tooling to identify infrastructure waste and automate resource optimization\n\nExplore AI-assisted detection of security, configuration, and cost anomalies\n\nBalance cost, performance, reliability, and developer productivity\n\n5. Solve Complex Infrastructure Problems\nInvestigate and solve challenging problems across distributed systems, networking, Kubernetes, and cloud infrastructure\n\nTurn recurring operational problems into scalable engineering solutions\n\nIdentify opportunities to apply AI/LLMs to automate complex engineering workflows and reduce manual operations\n\nWork closely with product engineering and security teams to design platform capabilities\n\nTake ownership of systems through design, implementation, deployment, and production operations\n\nJob Requirements\nSoftware Engineering\n3-6 years of experience in software engineering, backend engineering, platform engineering, SRE, or a similar role\n\nStrong programming skills in Go, Python, Java, Rust, or a similar language\n\nStrong understanding of software design, APIs, concurrency, data structures, and distributed systems\n\nExperience building and operating production-grade services, tools, or automation\n\nStrong debugging and problem-solving skills\n\nCloud & Infrastructure\nStrong understanding of Linux, networking, cloud infrastructure, and distributed systems\n\nHands-on experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure\n\nExperience with infrastructure automation and Infrastructure as Code\n\nStrong understanding of Kubernetes and containerized workloads\n\nExperience with Terraform, Pulumi, OpenTofu, or similar tools\n\nReliability & Security\nUnderstanding of SLOs, SLIs, observability, scalability, and failure recovery\n\nExperience with tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, OpenTelemetry, or equivalent\n\nUnderstanding of IAM, secrets management, authentication, authorization, and least privilege\n\nExperience with Kubernetes operators/controllers, GitOps, Vault, policy-as-code, or cloud cost optimization is a plus\n\nAI & Automation - Nice to Have\nExperience building applications or internal tools using LLMs, AI agents, or AI APIs\n\nUnderstanding of LLM-based automation, tool calling, RAG, or agentic workflows\n\nExperience integrating AI into developer productivity, observability, incident management, or infrastructure workflows\n\nFamiliarity with MCP or similar approaches for connecting AI systems to engineering tools and infrastructure is a plus\n\nWhat We Value\nWe look for engineers who build instead of manually operate, automate repetitive work, think in APIs and abstractions, design for failure and scale, and take ownership of systems end-to-end.\nWe also value engineers who are curious about using AI to fundamentally improve how infrastructure is built, operated, and debugged.\nBuild the platform. Automate the work.
