Beyond our reporting platform, MCP server, and public endpoints, these APIs now power per-customer environments where AI systems can execute tasks, access customer-specific state, and proactively run analysis. Today, that means Azure VMs running Dockerized workloads and a growing layer of application code which needs to cover everything from functionality to routine updates.\nWe’re looking for a senior software engineer who loves working at the boundary between product code and infrastructure. This is not a traditional DevOps or SRE role. You’ll spend most of your time writing application code that controls infrastructure primitives: messaging queue abstractions, VM management, data lifecycle, container updates, no-downtime migrations, bootstrapping, permissions, observability, and security.\nThe right person is comfortable going deep into Linux, containers, networking, and all that jazz, but thinks like a product engineer: shipping reliable systems, choosing pragmatic abstractions, and making complicated runtime behavior feel routine to our customers.\n| Our tech stack: Node.js, TypeScript, React, MongoDB, ElasticSearch, Azure, and Pulumi.\nWhat you'd be doing\nBuild and evolve the systems that provision, update, secure, and observe Motion’s agent environments.\nDesign abstractions around queues, locks, background tasks, and service bus mechanics so product engineers can build on reliable primitives.\nEvolve our infrastructure-as-code footprint in Pulumi - defining patterns other engineers can build on.\nWork with Linux systems, mounted persistent storage, OS disks, container boundaries, permissions, logs, and runtime debugging.\nParticipate in a small, high-ownership, cross-functional team with weekly cycles.\nOur ideal fit brings\n6+ years of experience as a software engineer, with meaningful time spent going deep into infrastructure.\nStrong production backend experience. TypeScript / Node.js is ideal, but we care more about strong engineering judgment and the ability to learn our stack quickly\nDeep, hands-on cloud experience. Azure is where we live, but AWS or GCP experience transfers if you are strong on the fundamentals.\nFluency with infrastructure-as-code. We use Pulumi but any relevant experience in Terraform or CDK is good.\nHands-on experience with containers and runtime environments. Docker is important; experience with Kubernetes, Nomad, ECS, Docker Swarm, or similar orchestration systems is helpful but not required.\nExperience designing reliable systems around background jobs, queues, locks, service buses, migrations, retries, and failure recovery.\nStrong security instincts for application runtime environments.\n...and you'll be a strong fit if you align with these qualities:\nYou're genuinely excited about infrastructure. When something breaks, you want to understand how the system actually works, not just scale and restart it.\nA strong sense of ownership: you make decisions and move quickly to fix things quickly when they go wrong.\nA pragmatic mindset. You can ship the simple thing when speed matters, while flagging that which needs to evolve later.\n Comfortable in a fast-moving startup where requirements come with ambiguity and the “right” way isn't handed to you.\nYou enjoy being a strong individual contributor and a supportive teammate.
