• Deploy and operate enterprise-grade production systems with strong uptime and reliability standards.
• Leverage modern AI coding agents and developer copilots to accelerate engineering workflows.
• Partner with ML engineers and application teams to translate research and product requirements into scalable infrastructure capabilities.

Qualifications

What We Are Looking For

• 8-12+ years of experience in infrastructure, platform engineering, or distributed systems.
• Proven experience building and operating enterprise-grade production systems.
• Deep hands-on expertise with Kubernetes in production (autoscaling, networking, upgrades, reliability patterns).
• Strong background in MLOps and ML platform lifecycle management.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Pulumi, etc.).
• Practical, hands-on use of AI coding agents / AI-assisted development tools.
• Strong programming ability in Go, Python, or similar infrastructure-oriented languages.

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting GPU workloads and large-scale training/inference.
• Familiarity with enterprise security standards (SOC2, ISO, zero-trust architectures).
• Experience building internal developer platforms serving multiple teams.
• Background supporting AI systems in regulated or high-reliability environments.
