The company's products are powered by Coherent Distributed Networks (CDN™), empowering warfighters, commercial air operators, and border protection teams to act faster, adapt rapidly, and stay ahead of evolving threats. \nCHAOS Industries was founded in 2022 and has raised a total of $1 billion in funding from leading investors, including 8VC, Accel, and Valor Equity Partners. The company is headquartered in Los Angeles, with offices in Washington, D.C., San Francisco, San Diego, and London. For more information, please visit www.chaosinc.com.\nThe Role:\nYou'll join a small, highly collaborative team in San Francisco building the cloud platform behind some of the world's most advanced radar systems. You'll design, build, and operate both the infrastructure and the backend services that move mission-critical sensor data from radars in the field to the operators who depend on it. The platform is in production and growing fast, and your job is to scale it as our fleet of sensors, customers, and deployments grows. \nResponsibilities:\n\nCloud Infrastructure - design and operate our Azure infrastructure as code with Terraform: networking, Azure Container Apps, managed databases, and the CI/CD pipelines that deploy to them.\nBackend Platform Services - build and own high-throughput Python (FastAPI) services and the data layer behind them (PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB, Redis, Cosmos DB) that ingest and stream real-time sensor data.\nPlatform Architecture - work with engineering teams across the company to define the architecture of the next generation of the platform.\nOperations - own security, reliability, and observability across the platform: identity and access, secrets management, network isolation, monitoring and alerting (Datadog), and incident response.\n Minimum Requirements:\nHave built and operated production infrastructure in at least one major cloud - Azure, AWS, or GCP - defined in code with Terraform, Pulumi, Bicep, or CloudFormation.\nHave run containerized production workloads (Docker) on a managed platform such as Azure Container Apps, AWS ECS or Fargate, Google Cloud Run, or Kubernetes.\nHave strong cloud networking fundamentals: virtual networks, subnets, routing, DNS, load balancers, private endpoints, and firewalls.\nHave built and operated production backend services in Python, Go, or a similar language, and understand what happens under load - concurrency, async I/O, connection pooling, and resource limits.\nAre fluent in distributed systems: consistency and replication, partitioning, caching, back-pressure, idempotency, and how systems fail - and how to design so that they degrade gracefully.\nHave scaled a production system well beyond its original design, and fixed what broke on the way.\nBuild securely by default - least-privilege access, secrets kept out of code, and patched, hardened systems - and can explain the trade-offs behind those choices.\nPreferred Requirements:\nAzure Government, AWS GovCloud, or other regulated environments (FedRAMP, CMMC, NIST 800-171 or 800-53).\nReal-time and streaming data systems: WebSockets, server-sent events, pub/sub, and message queues.\nIdentity and cloud security: Entra ID, OAuth 2.0 / OIDC, managed identities, service-to-service authentication, and policy as code.\n\nWhy CHAOS?\nHealth Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision benefits 100% paid for by the company\n Additional benefits: 401k (+ 50% company match up to 6% of pay), FSA, HSA, life insurance, and more\nOur Perks: Free daily lunch while you're working onsite, fully-stocked kitchen, unlimited PTO, casual dress code\n Compensation Components: Competitive base salaries, generous pre-IPO stock option grants, relocation assistance, and (coming soon!) annual bonuses\nTeam Growth: 500+ employees and counting across 5 global offices\n Salary Range: $140,000 - 240,000\nThe stated compensation range reflects only the targeted base compensation range and excludes additional earnings such as bonus, equity, and benefits. If your compensation requirements fall outside of the range, we still encourage you to apply. The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. \nRecruiting Agencies: CHAOS Industries does not accept unsolicited resumes or outreach. Unsolicited submissions will not be reviewed or compensated.\n#LI-onsite","description_format":"text","description_chars":4620,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Annual bonuses","Equity","Life insurance","Relocation assistance","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["C4ISR","Defense Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-27T21:40:21Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":59,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":240000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/chaos-industries-senior-cloud-infrastructure-engineer-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/chaos-industries-senior-cloud-infrastructure-engineer-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T18:20:45Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":7247,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":449716},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=449716"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fchaos-industries-senior-cloud-infrastructure-engineer-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fchaos-industries-senior-cloud-infrastructure-engineer-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fchaos-industries-senior-cloud-infrastructure-engineer-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/chaos-industries-senior-cloud-infrastructure-engineer-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fchaos-industries-senior-cloud-infrastructure-engineer-2"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3361931}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"chaosinc.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3361931},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
