As an Infrastructure Engineer, you will join the engineering team to support and enable internal business units through shared engineering services and functionalities. You will build relationships with multiple stakeholders across the organization, own projects end-to-end, and work directly with internal customer-facing teams to empower their mission.
Key responsibilities include:
- Design, build, test, and document core software components as part of an engineering team
- Exhibit ownership over running services by building for observability, participating in incident response, and fielding customer support escalations

- Support and enable internal business units through shared engineering services
- Improve observability through metrics, alerting, logging, and telemetry integration
- Identify and build improvements for continuous deployment
- Utilize infrastructure as code to make changes in cloud environments
- Collaborate with other engineering teams on cross-functional infrastructure improvements
- Automate upgrades for managed services and VMs
The role requires a strongly motivated individual who can think on their feet, collaborate with highly technical teams, and work comfortably asynchronously in an early-stage, fully-remote environment.
Requirements:
- Experience with CI/CD, secrets management, infrastructure as code, and observability
- Experience with distributed systems
- Experience operating managed services in a cloud environment (preferably AWS)
- Experience with Kubernetes in production (strong plus)
- Familiarity with networks (IP addressing, routing, etc.)
- Experience with Go programming language (plus, as most non-front-end portions are developed in Go)
- Ability to give and process constructive feedback and work independently
- Flexibility to adjust to the dynamic nature of a startup
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
