Software Engineer, Cloud Infrastructure
Designs, builds, and operates scalable multi-cloud infrastructure powering ML training, inference, and data curation pipelines. Collaborates with teams on AWS-focused systems using Kubernetes and IaC tools like Terraform.
About the job
What You'll Work On
- Architect and maintain our multi-cloud infrastructure (primarily AWS, potentially Azure/GCP), with a focus on reliability, security, and scalability
- Define and implement infrastructure-as-code best practices using Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi (and similar technologies)
- Design and manage Kubernetes-based systems for model training, inference, and data processing workloads
- Optimize our CI/CD pipelines and streamline deployment of services across environments
- Build monitoring, alerting, and logging systems to ensure high system availability and observability
- Collaborate with research and engineering teams to provide infrastructure support for training large-scale ML models
- Ensure our infrastructure supports various deployment models (cloud, on-prem, hybrid) for enterprise use cases
- Drive cost-efficiency strategies across compute and storage resources
- Respond to and resolve infrastructure-related incidents with a sense of ownership and urgency
About You
- You've led or helped build robust infrastructure systems at a startup or fast-moving engineering organization
- Deep experience working with cloud providers (especially AWS), and ideally exposure to multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud setups
- Strong with Kubernetes, Terraform, and containerized architectures
- Confident with systems-level debugging—networking issues, memory leaks, resource bottlenecks, etc.
- Comfortable writing clean, maintainable scripts in Bash, Python, or Go
- You care deeply about building secure and scalable systems and take pride in reliable infrastructure
- You're collaborative, humble, and ready to own high-impact projects end-to-end
Nice to Have
- Experience supporting infrastructure for ML workloads (training pipelines, inference clusters, GPU orchestration)
- Built or scaled infrastructure for teams working with large-scale datasets
- Exposure to cost monitoring and optimization tools in cloud environments
- Background supporting compliance and security in enterprise deployments
