Job Description
About the role
We’re hiring a Founding Infrastructure Engineer to build and secure the platform foundations for an AI-enabled product used by real customers. This is a hands-on role with significant ownership over reliability, scalability, security, and developer velocity.
You’ll join a small engineering team where speed matters, pragmatism wins, and infrastructure is treated as a core product.
What you’ll do
You will take the lead on the systems that keep the product stable, fast, and safe as usage grows:
Own cloud infrastructure end-to-end Design, operate, and continuously improve a production AWS environment with infrastructure-as-code, focusing on resilience, performance, and cost control. Enable multi-region and isolated environments Build patterns for deploying fully separated customer environments across multiple regions, including support for single-tenant setups when required. Build and evolve CI/CD workflows Develop streamlined pipelines that allow the team to ship frequently and safely using modern tooling (e.g., GitHub Actions, containers, progressive deployments). Implement observability and reliability standards Set up strong monitoring and alerting across logs, metrics, and traces so issues are detected early and resolved quickly. Improve performance under demanding workloads Tune autoscaling, routing, load balancing, and runtime behaviour to meet latency and throughput expectations , especially under compute-heavy usage. Raise the bar on operational maturity Establish best practices for incident response, fault tolerance, deployment safety, and infrastructure hygiene. Partner with application engineers Work closely with product and engineering teammates to ensure the platform supports rapid iteration without sacrificing stability.
