Our customers range from AI researchers to enterprises and hyperscalers. Lambda's mission is to make compute as ubiquitous as electricity and give everyone the power of superintelligence. One person, one GPU.\nIf you'd like to build the world's best AI cloud, join us.\n*Note: This position requires presence in our San Francisco/San Jose/Bellevue office location 4 days per week; Lambda’s designated work from home day is currently Tuesday.\nCloud Foundations manages the account, access, and network foundation that Lambda's cloud infrastructure runs on, implementing governance and access controls in line with company policies. In practice that means AWS accounts and IAM, the VPC and transit network structure, DNS, and the Terraform execution platform that every change flows through.\nThis is a new team, and this role helps define it. Working closely with Security, GRC, IT, and the engineering teams that consume the foundation, this position turns policy into working controls and paved paths, so that hundreds of engineers can safely self-serve instead of filing requests.\nWhat You’ll Do\nOwn and evolve the IaC execution platform (Terraform, Atlantis): how infrastructure changes are proposed, reviewed, and applied across the company\n\nDesign and operate Lambda's cloud account, access, and IAM structure: organizational hierarchy, provisioning, and permission models\n\nOwn the cloud network foundation: VPCs, Transit Gateway, and DNS, including the patterns other teams build on\n\nDrive AWS cloud governance: tagging standards, compliance guardrails, and cost visibility and accountability\n\nImplement least-privilege access and compliance automation in line with company requirements and policies, replacing manual access and provisioning work with self-service\n\nHelp shape how this new team operates: its scope, priorities, and service boundaries\n\nParticipate in an on-call rotation and keep the systems you own well-documented, reliable, and observable\n\nWho You Are\n6+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure, cloud platform, or cloud security engineering, or a closely related discipline\n\nDeep experience managing AWS at scale: multi-account organizations, IAM and permission boundaries, SCPs, and resource organization\n\nStrong foundation in infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and the tooling around it: modules, state management, and automated plan/apply workflows\n\nSolid cloud networking fundamentals: VPC design, transit and hybrid connectivity, DNS, and edge/CDN configuration\n\nComfortable writing the automation and tooling that runs the foundation (Go and/or Python), and treating it as a product: real users, real quality standards, and things that actually get adopted\n\nUse AI tools as a natural part of how you work, and hold their output to the same bar as your own: you review it, verify it, and own what ships\n\nBuild for the many, not for one team or one use case\n\nComfortable with ambiguity and clarifying ownership\n\nDistill the right problem out of the noise: ask the why behind the why\n\nOwn what you build past the point it ships: monitor it, measure whether it actually helped, and act on what you learn\n\nSweat the details and aren't satisfied until things run smoothly\n\nNice to Have\nExperience building agentic workflows that automate meaningful parts of infrastructure operations or governance\n\nExperience implementing controls for a compliance program (SOC 2, ISO 27001) without turning it into manual toil\n\nCloud cost management and FinOps experience\n\nHands-on experience with Azure, GCP, or OCI alongside AWS\n\nSalary Range Information\nThe annual salary range for this position has been set based on market data and other factors. However, a salary higher or lower than this range may be appropriate for a candidate whose qualifications differ meaningfully from those listed in the job description.\nAbout Lambda\nFounded in 2012, with 500+ employees, and growing fast\n\nOur investors notably include TWG Global, US Innovative Technology Fund (USIT), Andra Capital, SGW, Andrej Karpathy, ARK Invest, Fincadia Advisors, G Squared, In-Q-Tel (IQT), KHK & Partners, NVIDIA, Pegatron, Supermicro, Wistron, Wiwynn, Gradient Ventures, Mercato Partners, SVB, 1517, and Crescent Cove\n\nWe have research papers accepted at top machine learning and graphics conferences, including NeurIPS, ICCV, SIGGRAPH, and TOG\n\nOur values are publicly available: https://lambda.ai/careers\n\nWe offer generous cash & equity compensation\n\nHealth, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents\n\nWellness and commuter stipends for select roles\n\n401k Plan with 2% company match (USA employees)\n\nFlexible paid time off plan that we all actually use\n\nEqual Opportunity Employer\nLambda is an Equal Opportunity employer.
