Job Specifications

Join a scaling startup building systems that need to stay fast, reliable, and cost-efficient as usage ramps. We’re hiring an Infrastructure Engineer to own a Kubernetes-based platform-improving developer velocity, production reliability, and the cloud foundations we scale on.

What you’ll do

Own and evolve our Kubernetes platform (cluster lifecycle, upgrades, networking, autoscaling, policies).
Build and maintain cloud infrastructure with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC-first).
Improve CI/CD and release safety (progressive delivery, rollbacks, guardrails).
Drive reliability: observability, alerting, incident response, and postmortems that lead to fixes.
Improve performance and cost: capacity planning, right-sizing, and spend visibility.
Strengthen security across IAM, secrets, image hygiene, and runtime hardening.
Support production databases when needed (backups, migrations, basic performance tuning).

Challenges you’ll tackle

Scaling clusters and services without creating operational drag.
Standardizing environments so teams ship faster with fewer surprises.
Building observability that surfaces issues before customers notice.
Keeping cloud spend predictable while scaling quickly.

What we’re looking for

Strong, hands-on Kubernetes experience in production.
Experience with a major cloud provider (AWS/GCP/Azure).
Infrastructure-as-Code skills (Terraform/Pulumi/CloudFormation).
CI/CD experience and a pragmatic approach to reliability and on-call.
Comfort with Linux, networking fundamentals, and debugging distributed systems.
Ability to automate with code (Python/Go/Bash).

Nice to have

Service mesh / ingress at scale, policy-as-code, or multi-cluster patterns.

Some production database ops experience (Postgres/MySQL).
