Job Description


About The Role

This is a founding infrastructure engineering role at an early-stage enterprise AI platform startup, where you'll design and build cloud infrastructure entirely from scratch. You'll own architectural decisions end-to-end — from initial design through production — for a semantic platform serving highly regulated industries like insurance, banking, and healthcare. The choices you make here will shape how the company scales for years to come.

What You'll Do

  • Design and build cloud infrastructure from the ground up to power an enterprise-grade semantic AI platform.
  • Own the full infrastructure lifecycle, from architecture and deployment through scaling and ongoing operations.
  • Establish foundational best practices, standards, and tooling in a greenfield environment.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation systems.
  • Architect and manage Kubernetes clusters and container orchestration platforms in production.
  • Implement infrastructure monitoring, observability, and logging systems.
  • Design and manage database infrastructure including relational and NoSQL systems at scale.
  • Implement infrastructure security, networking, and access control.

What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience building and operating cloud infrastructure systems in production environments.
  • Proven experience designing and deploying infrastructure-as-code using tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi.
  • Strong experience architecting and managing Kubernetes or other container orchestration platforms in production.
  • Deep familiarity with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including networking, storage, compute, and managed services.
  • Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation.
  • Hands-on experience with observability and monitoring tooling (e.g., Prometheus, ELK, Datadog, or similar).
  • Comfort making high-impact architectural decisions independently in an early-stage environment.
  • Experience with data infrastructure or data pipeline systems is a plus.
  • Background with knowledge graphs, semantic systems, or graph databases is a plus.
  • Experience with ML infrastructure or AI/ML platform systems is a plus.
