Senior Cloud Engineer

Pragmatike is hiring on behalf of a fast-growing AI startup recognized as a Top 10 GenAI company by GTM Capital, founded by MIT CSAIL researchers. We are searching for a Senior Cloud Engineer (Multicloud) with deep, hands-on experience building, operating, and scaling production infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure. You will work directly on the cloud and platform layer supporting large-scale, distributed AI systems used by Fortune 500 customers. This role is ideal for an engineer who has operated real multicloud environments in production—not someone limited to a single provider. You will be responsible for building reliable, scalable systems while navigating the complexity of differing cloud primitives, networking models, and operational trade-offs.

What You’ll Do

• Build, deploy, and operate production infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure.
• Maintain consistent environments using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform preferred).
• Deploy and operate Kubernetes clusters and containerized workloads across multiple cloud providers.
• Design and manage cloud networking (VPC/VNet design, peering, load balancing, private connectivity).
• Implement monitoring, logging, alerting, and incident response for multicloud systems.
• Optimize performance, reliability, and cost across providers through autoscaling and capacity planning.
• Support AI training and inference workloads in multicloud environments.
• Troubleshoot complex production issues spanning compute, networking, storage, and Kubernetes layers.
• Collaborate closely with AI, backend, and platform teams to support production systems.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience as a Cloud / Platform / Infrastructure Engineer.
• Hands‑on production experience with AWS, GCP, and Azure (deep expertise in at least one).
• Strong experience running Kubernetes in production across multiple clouds.
• Strong Terraform experience managing multicloud infrastructure.
• Solid understanding of cloud networking differences and security models across providers.
• Experience operating distributed systems with on‑call ownership.
• Ability to work across provider‑specific services while maintaining consistent abstractions.

Bonus Points

• Experience supporting AI/ML or data‑intensive workloads in production.
• Exposure to GPU‑enabled cloud infrastructure or high‑performance compute.
• Experience with CI/CD automation and release pipelines.
• Familiarity with compliance requirements (SOC 2, ISO 27001).
• Startup experience or comfort in fast‑moving, ambiguous environments.

Why This Role Will Pivot Your Career

• Research pedigree: MIT CSAIL founders with deep systems and AI expertise.
• Customer impact: Infrastructure powering Fortune 500 companies.
• Industry momentum: Alumni behind major acquisitions (MosaicML Databricks, Run:AI NVIDIA, W&B CoreWeave).
• Funding & growth: Oversubscribed seed round, next funding planned for 2026.
• Ownership: Operate and scale real multicloud production systems.
• Technical depth: Solve hard reliability and scaling problems across providers.

Benefits

• Competitive salary & equity options
• Sign‑on bonus
• Health, Dental, and Vision
• 401(k)
