We are looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to lead the evolution of our cloud ecosystem. In this role, you won't just be "keeping the lights on"—you will be architect the foundation that powers our next generation of AI-driven products. You will bridge the gap between software engineering and systems operations, ensuring our platform is scalable, resilient, and optimized for high-performance workloads.

What You’ll do:

• Cloud Architecture & Orchestration: Design and manage multi-cloud environments (AWS/GCP) using Terraform to ensure infrastructure is versioned,reproducible, and scalable.

• Kubernetes Mastery: Oversee production-grade Kubernetes clusters, focusing on cluster health, resource optimization, and seamless application deployment.

• AI & Data Infrastructure: Build and maintain the specialized infrastructure required for AI workloads.

• Database Management: Maintain a diverse data layer, including Vector search databases (for AI retrieval), PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB.

• Observability & Reliability: Implement deep-stack monitoring and alerting using Datadog and Prometheus to ensure proactive issue detection and resolution.

• Automation-First Mindset: Maintain and evolve an active codebase in Python, Go, or Bash to automate repetitive tasks. You will also integrate LLMs into your workflow to accelerate scripting, documentation, and operational efficiency.

• Networking & Traffic: Manage complex cloud networking topologies, including VPCs, Load Balancing, Service Meshes, and Caching layers (e.g., Redis) to minimize latency.

• Incident Response: Lead the debugging of complex, distributed systems issues, performing root cause analysis to prevent recurrence, as part of an on-call Rotation.

What you bring:

• Experience: 7+ years of experience in Infrastructure, DevOps, or Site Reliability Engineering, with at least 5 years focused on cloud-native environments.

• Linux Systems: Solid understanding of Linux administration and performance tuning. You are comfortable navigating the command line to diagnose system-level issues.

• Infrastructure as Code: Expert-level experience with Terraform (or OpenTofu) and managing state at scale

• Containerization: Proven track record of managing Kubernetes in a production environment (EKS, GKE, or self-managed).

• Software Engineering: Strong proficiency in Python or Go. You treat infrastructure code with the same rigor as application code (testing, PR reviews, CI/CD).

• Data Systems: Hands-on experience managing relational and non-relational Databases

• PaaS & Serverless: Experience leveraging and securing PaaS offerings to speed up development cycles.

• AI-Augmented Engineering: Practical experience using LLMs (GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude) to increase your personal and team productivity.

• Demonstrated ability to learn new technologies quickly and independently
  
  
• Strong technical, organizational and interpersonal skills
  
  
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
