You will have significant ownership in shaping platform architecture, improving developer experience, and preparing systems for rapid growth. This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced engineer who enjoys autonomy, solving ambiguous problems, and building resilient technology platforms.

Accountabilities:: Design, build, and operate reliable infrastructure that supports AI-powered products and high-scale workloads.

Own and improve Kubernetes environments, including cluster reliability, networking, workload isolation, autoscaling, and deployment patterns.

Develop and maintain cloud infrastructure across areas such as networking, security, identity management, and platform automation.

Improve production reliability through observability, monitoring, alerting, incident response, and disaster recovery practices.

Build automation and infrastructure-as-code solutions to reduce operational complexity and eliminate repetitive manual processes.

Improve CI/CD workflows, GitOps practices, progressive delivery, and deployment safety mechanisms.

Optimize infrastructure costs through better resource management, capacity planning, and performance improvements.

Operate and enhance distributed data systems such as search and database platforms.

Investigate and resolve complex production issues across application, infrastructure, networking, and data layers.

Identify architectural improvements and help evolve systems to support increasing usage, larger customers, and new AI workloads.

Take ownership of critical technical challenges and collaborate across engineering teams to deliver impactful solutions.

Requirements:

Strong software engineering skills with experience writing and maintaining production-quality code.

Proven experience designing, building, and operating infrastructure on major cloud platforms such as GCP, AWS, or similar.

Hands-on experience managing Kubernetes environments in production.

Strong understanding of cloud networking and security concepts, including VPCs, IAM, load balancing, firewalls, WAFs, CDNs, DNS, and service identity.

Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools and automated deployment systems.

Ability to debug complex issues across applications, infrastructure, networking, and distributed systems.

Experience operating large-scale systems such as OpenSearch, Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, or similar technologies.

Strong understanding of reliability engineering principles, security practices, and cost optimization.

Interest in improving developer experience and reducing operational complexity through automation.

Ability to work independently, take ownership of important problems, and operate effectively in a fast-moving environment.

Experience with AI infrastructure, large language model deployment, or serving frameworks such as vLLM or SGLang is a plus.

Strong engineering fundamentals, adaptability, and willingness to learn unfamiliar technologies quickly.

Benefits:

Fully remote working environment with the flexibility to work from wherever you are most productive.

Opportunity to work on innovative AI technology shaping the future of software creation.

High level of ownership and direct impact on products, infrastructure, and company growth.

Culture focused on engineering excellence, autonomy, and individual contribution.

Opportunity to collaborate with a highly skilled global team of AI and software engineers.

Equity plan designed to align employee success with company growth.
