What You Will Do

• Core cloud infrastructure — building networking, data services, secrets, and the reusable building blocks that product teams compose on top of using CDK/Terraform.
• Cloud infrastructure security — partnering with our security engineer on vulnerability management, patching cadence, secrets hygiene, network segmentation, audit trails, and the day-to-day work of keeping our cloud footprint defensible. You won't own the security program, but you'll be one of the people the security engineer relies on to get things shipped.
• Identity & permissions — SSO, federated CI access, and least-privilege role design across a multi-account, multi-cloud estate.
• CI/CD platform — the pipelines, runners, and deployment workflows that take code from PR to production safely and quickly.
• Observability & on-call health — metrics, logs, alerting, and incident routing that catch real problems. Participate in on-call rotations.
• Developer experience — making it easy for engineers in a large monorepo to develop, test, and ship seamlessly.

Requirements

• 5-10+ years of experience.
• Strong software engineering background and proficiency in one or more programming languages such as Python, Java, or Go.
• Strong production cloud experience, with real depth in at least one major hyperscaler provider (AWS/GCP/Azure).
• Deep experience working with highly-scalable distributed systems in containerized environments. Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, or other container orchestration tools for application services.
• Experience with automatic vulnerability management and security audits.
• Experience with defensive infrastructure and disaster recovery.
• Experience designing highly available, fault-tolerant systems with strong understanding of async, concurrency, parallel processing architecture.
• Infrastructure-as-code as your default tool — you've designed reusable abstractions, not just one-off stacks.
• Experience with CI/CD systems in a non-trivial environment.
• Solid grasp of identity, access, and secrets management at scale.
• A track record of operating production systems: on-call, runbooks, and alerts that signal real issues.
• Bonuses:
• Fluency with AI-assisted development tools with an eye for secure, scalable and robust services. You use coding agents, LLM-driven code review, and AI-powered debugging to move faster and raise the quality bar, and you have a point of view on where they help and where they don't.
• Multi-cloud experience.
• Workflow orchestration and large-scale data infrastructure.
• Kubernetes operations beyond the basics.
• Background in energy, utilities, IoT, or other regulated / SLO-sensitive domains.

Benefits

What You'll Get

• A full-time position, with a competitive salary based on experience. The base salary for this role is: $160k - $200k. We use market data and consider your job family, background, skills, experience, and U.S. work location to determine compensation within our established pay range.
• Fully remote work environment with home office set-up allowance.
• Real and lived work-life balance - Company perks include no pre-set vacation limits (with a top-down culture of taking meaningful PTO every year!), parental leave benefits, and a corporate value of working sustainably and putting families first.
• Competitive benefits package that includes numerous health and wellness benefits.
• 401(k) plan, with employer contributions to the same.
• Opportunity to work with amazing people who are passionate about their mission, thriving in a fully-remote work environment, and learning and growing every day.
