Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer

The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to design, build, and evolve the cloud environment our entire platform runs on.

This team owns the foundational infrastructure layer—networking, Kubernetes, cloud architecture, and core platform services. Your job is to make it secure, scalable, cost-efficient, and easy for engineers to build on.

This is not an application development role. You will operate at the layer where bad decisions become outages, and good decisions disappear because everything just works.

Responsibilities

• Design and manage GCP project structure, networking, and core infrastructure
• Own Kubernetes cluster infrastructure (provisioning, upgrades, scaling, reliability)
• Define and maintain infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) standards and patterns
• Improve system-level architecture for scalability, resilience, and performance
• Build reusable infrastructure patterns that product teams can safely adopt
• Reduce friction for developers while maintaining strong guardrails
• Partner with engineering teams to improve how services are deployed and operated
• Manage and evolve base observability systems (metrics, logging, tracing foundations)
• Build and maintain infrastructure for secrets management, IAM, and security primitives
• Ensure infrastructure is secure by default, not by exception
• Improve infrastructure reliability and reduce systemic risk
• Lead and contribute to incident response when infrastructure is involved
• Identify and eliminate infrastructure-level failure modes and bottlenecks
• Drive cloud cost visibility and optimization
• Build systems and practices that balance performance, reliability, and cost
• Partner with leadership to align infrastructure investment with business needs
• Shape infrastructure strategy across teams and services
• Drive adoption of standards and best practices across engineering
• Identify systemic issues and lead cross-team improvements

Requirements

• 5–10+ years of experience in cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, or SRE
• Deep experience with Google Cloud (GCP) or equivalent cloud platforms and distributed systems
• Strong expertise in:
• Networking (VPCs, load balancing, DNS)
• Kubernetes and container orchestration
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or similar)
• Experience building and operating production-scale infrastructure systems
• Strong programming/scripting skills (Go, Python, etc.) for automation and tooling
• Ability to work across teams and influence technical direction

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with multi-region or high-availability infrastructure design
• Background in infrastructure security or compliance
• Experience building internal developer platforms or tooling
• Familiarity with observability systems (Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, etc.)

Annual US Hiring Range: $150,000 - $175,000

*A candidate’s actual placement within this range will depend on geographic location, work experience, education, and/or skill level.

Applicants must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa at this time.
