• Own infrastructure decisions and establish standards and practices for a growing engineering team.

• Build and operate Kubernetes or comparable container orchestration platforms and infrastructure-as-code systems.

• Design secure cloud networking, access controls, and database infrastructure for relational and NoSQL systems.

• Support data infrastructure and pipelines that power the platform.

What We're Looking For

• Five or more years building and operating production cloud infrastructure, with roughly 5 to 12 years of overall experience.

• Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure, including compute, storage, networking, and managed services.

• Strong infrastructure-as-code experience with tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi.

• Production experience architecting and managing Kubernetes or another container orchestration platform.

• Experience with CI/CD, infrastructure observability and logging, cloud security, and access control.

• Experience designing database infrastructure for relational and NoSQL systems at scale.

• Comfort building from scratch in an early-stage or high-growth environment, with a stable work history and full-time availability.

• Experience with data infrastructure, knowledge graphs, graph databases, or AI/ML platforms is helpful.
