WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Design and build production cloud infrastructure from the ground up, guiding architecture through deployment and scaling.
- Own infrastructure decisions and establish standards and practices for a growing engineering team.
- Build and operate Kubernetes or comparable container orchestration platforms and infrastructure-as-code systems.
- Develop CI/CD pipelines, deployment automation, monitoring, observability, and logging.
- Design secure cloud networking, access controls, and database infrastructure for relational and NoSQL systems.
- Support data infrastructure and pipelines that power the platform.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Five or more years building and operating production cloud infrastructure, with roughly 5 to 12 years of overall experience.
- Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure, including compute, storage, networking, and managed services.
- Strong infrastructure-as-code experience with tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi.
- Production experience architecting and managing Kubernetes or another container orchestration platform.
- Experience with CI/CD, infrastructure observability and logging, cloud security, and access control.
- Experience designing database infrastructure for relational and NoSQL systems at scale.
- Comfort building from scratch in an early-stage or high-growth environment, with a stable work history and full-time availability.
- Experience with data infrastructure, knowledge graphs, graph databases, or AI/ML platforms is helpful.

About this listing
Published on Ashby under the board identifier Clera, which is the name the employer’s own job board carries. RoleSprint has not verified the company’s registered or trading name, so it is shown exactly as published rather than tidied up.
RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.
