What You Will Do Core cloud infrastructure — building networking, data services, secrets, and the reusable building blocks that product teams compose on top of using CDK/Terraform. Cloud infrastructure security — partnering with our security engineer on vulnerability management, patching cadence, secrets hygiene, network segmentation, audit trails, and the day-to-day work of keeping our cloud footprint defensible. You won't own the security program, but you'll be one of the people the security engineer relies on to get things shipped. Identity & permissions — SSO, federated CI access, and least-privilege role design across a multi-account, multi-cloud estate. CI/CD platform — the pipelines, runners, and deployment workflows that take code from PR to production safely and quickly. Observability & on-call health — metrics, logs, alerting, and incident routing that catch real problems. Participate in on-call rotations. Developer experience — making it easy for engineers in a large monorepo to develop, test, and ship seamlessly. 5-10+ years of experience. Strong software engineering background and proficiency in one or more programming languages such as Python, Java, or Go. Strong production cloud experience, with real depth in at least one major hyperscaler provider (AWS/GCP/Azure). Deep experience working with highly-scalable distributed systems in containerized environments. Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, or other container orchestration tools for application services. Experience with automatic vulnerability management and security audits. Experience with defensive infrastructure and disaster recovery. Experience designing highly available, fault-tolerant systems with strong understanding of async, concurrency, parallel processing architecture. Infrastructure-as-code as your default tool — you've designed reusable abstractions, not just one-off stacks. Experience with CI/CD systems in a non-trivial environment. Solid grasp of identity, access, and secrets management at scale. A track record of operating production systems: on-call, runbooks, and alerts that signal real issues. Bonuses: Fluency with AI-assisted development tools with an eye for secure, scalable and robust services. You use coding agents, LLM-driven code review, and AI-powered debugging to move faster and raise the quality bar, and you have a point of view on where they help and where they don't. Multi-cloud experience. Workflow orchestration and large-scale data infrastructure. Kubernetes operations beyond the basics. Background in energy, utilities, IoT, or other regulated / SLO-sensitive domains. What You'll Get A full-time position, with a competitive salary based on experience. The base salary for this role is: $160k - $200k. We use market data and consider your job family, background, skills, experience, and U.S. work location to determine compensation within our established pay range. Fully remote work environment with home office set-up allowance. Real and lived work-life balance - Company perks include no pre-set vacation limits (with a top-down culture of taking meaningful PTO every year!), parental leave benefits, and a corporate value of working sustainably and putting families first. Competitive benefits package that includes numerous health and wellness benefits. 401(k) plan, with employer contributions to the same. Opportunity to work with amazing people who are passionate about their mission, thriving in a fully-remote work environment, and learning and growing every day.
