Role Overview

Lead the infrastructure strategy and hands-on execution behind production AI systems. You will shape cloud infrastructure, the developer platform, and reliability practices to keep systems secure, observable, resilient, and scalable.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own the architecture and evolution of multi-cloud infrastructure across AWS and GCP, balancing scalability, reliability, security, and cost.
  • Lead and develop an Infrastructure and Platform Engineering team, fostering ownership, operational excellence, and continuous improvement.
  • Build reproducible, version-controlled, auditable infrastructure using Terraform or equivalent infrastructure-as-code tooling.
  • Design and improve CI/CD systems for fast, reliable, secure software delivery.
  • Establish observability across metrics, logs, traces, and alerting to identify and resolve production issues proactively.
  • Drive reliability practices including incident response, on-call operations, SLOs, error budgets, disaster recovery, and blameless postmortems.
  • Partner with Security and Engineering leadership to embed security by default and support compliance with ISO 27001, SOC 2, and CMMC.
  • Improve developer experience through automation and platform tooling that reduces operational friction.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years building and operating production infrastructure, platform engineering, DevOps, or SRE systems.
  • 3+ years leading engineering teams in high-growth environments.
  • Deep AWS, GCP, or multi-cloud production expertise.
  • Strong experience with Terraform, Kubernetes, containers, and modern CI/CD platforms.
  • A demonstrated ability to build highly available, observable, resilient production systems.
  • Strong knowledge of infrastructure security, compliance, and operational risk management.
  • Experience scaling engineering organizations and infrastructure in fast-moving startup environments.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence technical strategy with engineering and executive stakeholders.

Preferred Experience

  • Supporting AI/ML infrastructure or large-scale data platforms.
  • Working with model training, inference, evaluation, or data-pipeline infrastructure.
  • Operating regulated cloud environments, including FedRAMP, GovCloud, or CMMC Level 2.
  • Contributions to platform engineering, open-source infrastructure, or developer-productivity initiatives.

Work Terms

  • Full-time, remote role.

Compensation

  • Listed compensation range: $350, 000 to $500, 000 annually.
  • Source materials also state a national base-salary range of $230, 000 to $260, 000 annually.
