Senior Infrastructure Engineer

About The Opportunity

We are a well-funded, high-potential technology startup operating in stealth mode, developing a proprietary AI platform poised to revolutionize a multi-billion dollar global market. We are building a system that manages real-time, high-throughput decisions using Generative AI and advanced contextual signals.

We are seeking a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to take ownership of our core distributed systems and cloud infrastructure. This role offers the opportunity to architect and build a robust, scalable platform from scratch.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and deploy highly scalable and resilient cloud infrastructure for high-throughput, real-time services.
• Establish and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and alerting frameworks.
• Manage distributed queues (Pub/Sub, Kafka, SQS, Redis) and own system observability (Prometheus, Grafana, logging).
• Ensure system reliability through advanced deployment strategies (canary deployments, autoscaling, health checks).
• Own cloud networking, security policies, and load balancing configurations.
• Manage PostgreSQL operations, including scaling, replication, backups, and disaster recovery.
• Lead infrastructure-level incident response, debugging, and performance optimization efforts.
• Collaborate closely with AI, Data Science, and Backend teams on architectural design.

Required Capabilities

• 5+ years of professional experience in Backend Infrastructure, Distributed Systems, or Site Reliability Engineering (SRE).
• Deep expertise with major cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure).
• Extensive experience with containers (Docker, Kubernetes) and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform or equivalents).
• Proven track record with high-throughput services and message queuing technologies.
• Strong knowledge of monitoring, alerting, and logging best practices.
• Experience with PostgreSQL operations and database scaling.
• Expert-level ability in debugging complex production issues in a distributed environment.
• Experience building and maintaining automated CI/CD pipelines.

What We Offer

• Significant Impact: Full ownership over the technical infrastructure of a groundbreaking AI platform.
• Autonomy: High degree of independence in technical decision-making.
• Greenfield Project: The rare opportunity to build systems with minimal legacy constraints.
• Growth: An environment working with an elite and focused engineering team.
