We are Rokt, a hyper-growth ecommerce leader. Rokt is the global leader in ecommerce, unlocking real-time relevance in the moment that matters most. Rokt’s AI Brain and ecommerce Network powers billions of transactions connecting hundreds of millions of customers and is trusted to do this by the world’s leading companies.

We are a team of builders helping smart businesses find innovative ways to meet customer needs and generate incremental revenue. Leading companies drive 10-50% of additional revenue—and often all their profits—from the extra products or services they sell. This economic edge unleashes a world of possibilities for growth and innovation.

At Rokt, we practice transparency in career paths and compensation. At Rokt, we believe in transparency, which is why we have a well-defined career ladder with transparent compensation and clear career paths based on competency and ability. Rokt’stars constantly strive to raise the bar, pushing the envelope of what is possible.

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer (Cloud Infrastructure)

Target total compensation ranges from $300,000 - $325,000, including a fixed annual salary of $200,000 - $225,000, an employee equity plan grant, and world-class benefits. 

Equity grants are issued in good faith and are subject to company policies, board approval, and individual eligibility.

As our Sr Cloud Infrastructure Engineer, you’ll architect and operate the foundational control plane and data services that power our containerized workloads—spanning EKS clusters, core addons, container registries, batch processing gateways, and inter-region networking. You’ll ensure our platform delivers resilient compute, seamless streaming, and the tooling teams need to ship at peak velocity.

About the role:

  • Design, deploy, and manage EKS clusters and ECR registries (supporting both Linux and macOS agents)
  • Own the full suite of EKS core and observability addons—CSI/CNI/CoreDNS, Cert-Manager, Gatekeeper, Ingress controllers, Karpenter, KEDA, Argo Rollouts, External Secrets, Velero, YuniKorn scheduler, and image swapper
  • Enable batch workloads on Kubernetes by operating our Spark Gateway API and Spark Operator, and support Spark RBAC, scheduling queues, and history servers
  • Build and maintain our workflow engine and related automation for orchestration of complex data and ML pipelines
  • Architect and maintain network foundations—VPCs, subnets, peering, edge gateways, and Istio service mesh—to ensure secure, high-performance connectivity across regions

Requirements

About You:

  • 5+ years of experience in platform, SRE, or DevOps engineering roles, with a focus on Kubernetes and cloud-native infrastructure
  • Deep expertise in AWS EKS, ECR, container orchestration (Helm, Argo), and core Kubernetes addons
  • Hands-on mastery of Spark on Kubernetes (Gateway, Operator) and workflow schedulers like Flyte or Airflow
  • Strong scripting and automation skills (Bash, Python, Terraform) and proficiency with Linux administration
  • Clear communicator who thrives in fast-paced, collaborative environments and can evangelize best practices across teams
  • Familiarity with network topology (VPCs, peering, Istio)

Benefits

About Rokt’stars:

As a mission-driven, hyper-growth community of curious explorers, our ambition is to unlock real-time relevancy in ecommerce and beyond. Our bias for action means we are not afraid to quickly venture into uncharted territories, take risks, or challenge the status quo; in doing so we either win or learn. We work together as one aligned team never letting egos get in the way of brilliant ideas. We value diversity, transparency and smart humble people who enjoy building a disruptive business together. We pride ourselves on being a force for good as we make the world better. 

About the Benefits:

We leverage best-in-class technology and market-leading innovation in AI and ML, with all of that being underlined by building and maintaining a fantastic and inclusive culture where people can be their authentic selves and offering a great list of perks and benefits to go with it:

  • Become a shareholder. Every Rokt’star gets equity in the company
  • Enjoy catered lunch every day and healthy snacks in the office.
  • Access generous retirement plans like a 4% dollar-for-dollar 401K matching plan and great health benefits for you and your dependents.
  • Dog-friendly office
  • Extra leave (bonus annual leave, sabbatical leave etc.) 
  • Work with the greatest talent in town
  • See the world! We have offices in New York, Seattle, Sydney, Tokyo and London

We believe we’re better together. We love spending time together and are in the office most days (teams are in the office 4 days per week).

We at Rokt choose to create a company that is as diverse and inclusive as the world we live in by attracting, growing & keeping the best talent. Equal employment opportunities are available to all applicants without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
