Staff Software Engineer, Infrastructure

What you'll do

• Hands-on platform building. Architect and implement foundational cloud infrastructure from scratch: compute, networking, CI/CD, and observability. Actively writing infrastructure-as-code and shipping production systems.
• Own the infrastructure architecture. Define and execute the technical vision and multi-year roadmap for our AWS-based platform (ECS/Fargate, containerized Python and Node services).
• Run durable, AI-heavy workloads. Operate and scale our workflow orchestration layer (Temporal), streaming pipelines, vector search infrastructure, and high-throughput LLM inference paths.
• Design for security and compliance. Build infrastructure that meets SOC 2 requirements from day one: multi-tenant isolation, secrets management, least-privilege IAM, audit logging, and encrypted data flows.
• Establish operational excellence. Set and uphold standards for IaC, deployment pipelines, incident response, SLOs, and on-call practices; mentor engineers.
• Cross-functional collaboration. Partner with product, backend, frontend, and enterprise customers to translate requirements into pragmatic infrastructure solutions.

What you bring

• 7+ years building and scaling mission-critical cloud infrastructure on AWS and/or GCP, with demonstrated experience architecting platforms from the ground up.
• Production experience with ECS/Fargate, Kubernetes, or equivalent: including service networking, autoscaling, zero-downtime deploys, and multi-environment release strategies.
• Strong command of Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation, plus CI/CD pipeline design (GitHub Actions or similar) and GitOps workflows.
• Familiarity operating Postgres at scale (RDS, Supabase, or self-managed), Redis, message/workflow systems (Temporal, SQS, Kafka), and ideally vector databases or LLM serving infrastructure.
• Practical experience with SOC 2 (or similar) compliance programs, IAM design, VPC architecture, secrets management, and multi-tenant data isolation.
• Execution-driven mindset with end-to-end ownership of systems.
