Description

About the Role

Join a small, fast-moving AI product team to build and operate the infrastructure behind user-facing products and core SaaS capabilities. You will take ownership of foundational systems that support reliable services, durable workflows, and products used at significant scale.

Responsibilities

  • Build and operate cloud infrastructure for production services, using infrastructure as code and containerized workloads.
  • Develop durable workflows and backend systems that support long-running product and AI workloads.
  • Design, scale, and tune databases, including schema design and performance improvements.
  • Own infrastructure initiatives from architecture and implementation through production launch and ongoing iteration.
  • Partner with product and engineering teammates to turn open-ended goals into reliable, scalable systems.
  • Use AI coding tools as part of your daily engineering workflow.

Requirements

  • Two to ten years of experience in infrastructure, platform, or backend engineering, with demonstrated progression into senior, lead, or staff-level scope.
  • Production experience with infrastructure as code such as CDK or Terraform, Docker, and a major cloud provider such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
  • Hands-on experience with Temporal or a comparable durable workflow orchestrator.
  • Deep production database experience, including schema design, scaling, and performance tuning; relevant technologies include Postgres, Redis, and ClickHouse.
  • Experience supporting substantial user or data scale, ideally in a startup or growth-stage environment.
  • Daily use of AI coding tools and the ability to explain how they fit into your workflow.
  • Experience building infrastructure for AI agents or machine learning workloads is a plus.
