About the job
A growth-stage startup runs an AI-first social platform that processes a huge and rising volume of conversations for enterprise brands, and new customers join every week. It is adding a senior infrastructure engineer, among its first dedicated infrastructure hires, to help the systems keep pace and to influence how the platform develops.
Scope
Take responsibility for uptime and scaling across the distributed services behind heavy data intake and live AI agents
Strengthen ETL and data infrastructure running on Kubernetes, AWS, ClickHouse and Postgres
Work across the stack in Java, Python or TypeScript, creating automation, internal tools and product functionality with product and design colleagues
Join the round-the-clock on-call rotation, support customer issues and lead incident response during rapid onboarding
Strengthen Pulumi-based infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines and monitoring depth so engineers ship fast without breaking things
Ideal background
Five or more years as an SRE, infrastructure or platform engineer running production systems
A full-stack mindset: engineers who work only on the front end or only on the back end are not the target
Hands-on cloud (AWS or similar) and infrastructure-as-code experience
Understanding of distributed systems and Kubernetes
Startup experience within the last few years
Comfort with big data volumes, ambiguity and getting up to speed independently
A degree
Hybrid in the South Bay Area (Silicon Valley), with several days a week on-site. Visa transfers considered; no new sponsorship.
