About the Role
As a Software Engineer on the Infrastructure team, you'll own the foundational cloud and networking layer that every service runs on: network foundations, container orchestration, edge and security infrastructure, and the compute runtimes that power production.
You'll drive cost management, regional deployment strategy, and infrastructure unification to support rapid growth, ensuring productivity, reliability, and scale across all services.
Example Projects Include
- Owning Kubernetes and cluster foundations: Building and operating production clusters with proper service mesh, scaling, and ingress that teams can confidently deploy to.
- Designing the geo-deployment architecture: Building a replicable, robust process for deploying geo-replicated services across cloud regions and providers.
- Building edge and security infrastructure: Designing the networking and security layer at the edge to protect against abuse, manage rate limiting, and optimize traffic routing.
- Owning cost management and optimization: Building attribution systems, identifying waste, and ensuring smart tradeoffs between cost and reliability across cloud spend.
- Unifying the compute platform: Defining a single, opinionated container orchestration strategy so every team gets consistent, reliable deployments out of the box.
Qualifications
- Deep experience with AWS (or comparable cloud providers), especially VPC networking, EKS/K8s, and IAM/account management.
- Proven experience building and operating production Kubernetes clusters at scale, including service mesh, autoscaling, and multi-region deployments.
- Strong understanding of edge networking, CDN/WAF architectures, and traffic management at the infrastructure level.
- Dedication to infrastructure-as-code, reproducibility, and enabling self-serve reliable infrastructure.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and passion for building platform tooling.
- Experience with cost optimization at scale or infrastructure migration/unification is a plus.
Interview Process
- Initial review and 2–3 short technical interviews.
- Onsite interview at the office involving a small project, idea discussions, and meeting the team.
