For 50 years, abstractions around compute have followed an irreversible law: systems must handle complexity so humans don’t have to. We stopped writing assembly code. We abandoned physical servers. And yet, engineers still waste 30% of their time managing infrastructure—debugging YAML files, tweaking scaling policies, patching Kubernetes clusters.
Infrastructure remains stubbornly complex. The systems we rely on to keep software running are still deeply manual, brittle, and expensive to maintain. But a paradigm shift is now possible.
When maintenance disappears, builders can finally build.
We’re looking for an Infrastructure Engineer to take charge of the systems that power both our platform and our product. This is a hands-on role where you’ll manage Kubernetes clusters, build infrastructure services, and create tools that support both internal teams and customer-facing features.
In addition to owning infrastructure operations, this role gives you the chance to influence and build the product itself. If you want to work on infrastructure at scale and see your work directly impact end users, this role might be for you.
YouAs our next Infrastructure Engineer, you should have at least 5 years of experience in infrastructure engineering or a related role, preferably at a high-growth company, plus:
Essentials- Hands-on experience managing Kubernetes clusters in production environments.
- Expertise with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools like Terraform.
- Proven ability to design, implement, and maintain highly available and scalable systems.
- Strong understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including networking, security, and cost optimization.
- Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.
- Familiarity with observability systems (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) and managing logging and monitoring infrastructure.
- Strong problem-solving skills, with a focus on creating highly maintainable, scalable code.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
- Comfortable with iterative development, prototyping, and adapting quickly to feedback.
- Passionate about building things not just innovative but also practical and impactful—basically, a strong product and customer focus.
- Familiarity with service mesh technologies, such as Istio and Envoy.
- You have experience writing and debugging assembly code for both RISC and CISC architectures.
- Experience building observability/monitoring platforms.
- Deep understanding of agent-based architectures (i.e. system-level eBPF agents).
- Experience working with LLM-based applications and/or eager to learn and deepen expertise in them.
- Contributions to open-source projects, particularly in the CNCF ecosystem.
- You love mentoring and teaching junior engineers.
