Software Engineer, Infrastructure

Infrastructure Engineer

We are looking for an infrastructure engineer who treats cloud infrastructure as a software problem. You will own Hebbia's AWS footprint end-to-end — accounts, networking, container orchestration, and everything defined in code — and the developer platform that our engineering teams build on top of it. Infrastructure-as-code is the core craft here: if it is provisioned by hand, it is not done.

This is a build role, not a support role. You will spend your time designing multi-account architecture, writing the IaC and automation that makes environments reproducible, driving down cloud spend, hardening our infrastructure for enterprise and financial-services scrutiny, and making the path from a developer's laptop to production fast and boring. Your remit is the foundation itself: the infrastructure and platform that every engineer at Hebbia builds, tests, and ships on.

Responsibilities

• Own Hebbia's AWS footprint: multi-account architecture, networking, IAM, and the container orchestration layer our services run on
• Define all infrastructure as code, with the same review, testing, and versioning standards we hold application code to
• Own cloud cost and capacity: model growth, right-size infrastructure, and write the automation that prevents over-provisioning before it shows up on the bill
• Build and own the developer platform — build pipelines, ephemeral and preview environments, and development tooling that every engineer at Hebbia depends on
• Continuously improve CI/CD so teams ship quickly and safely, and treat build times and pipeline throughput as products with owners and metrics
• Harden our infrastructure for the security and compliance bar our financial-services customers hold us to: threat modeling, least-privilege access, secrets management, and automated compliance and audit tooling
• Architect for scale readiness — multi-region capability, network and account isolation, and the growth headroom enterprise deployments demand
• Partner with product engineering as a peer engineer, co-designing infrastructure alongside the systems that run on it
• Evaluate and integrate new infrastructure technology where it measurably improves scalability, security, or engineering velocity

Who You Are

• 5+ years building and operating cloud infrastructure at a venture-backed startup or top technology firm
• Deep expertise with infrastructure-as-code tooling, and a track record of managing a real production estate entirely in code
• Cloud platform fluency, with production depth in AWS (we are an AWS shop) — networking, IAM, and account architecture, not just compute
• Strong command of containerization and orchestration technologies
• Production-grade proficiency in at least one scripting or backend language for automation and internal tooling: Python, Go, or similar
• Strong CI/CD pipeline expertise and a demonstrated record of improving developer velocity without sacrificing safety
• Working knowledge of OS-level and networking concepts, and the ability to debug problems that span the boundary between infrastructure and application
• Experience instrumenting infrastructure with monitoring and observability tooling, and surfacing the signals engineering teams need to understand platform health and cost
• Hands-on experience securing cloud infrastructure to an enterprise compliance bar: least-privilege IAM, secrets management, hardening, and audit readiness
• Experience managing cloud cost at scale, or building the tooling and guardrails that keep spend predictable, is a strong plus
