Infrastructure Engineer Help Build the Backbone of Next-Generation Systems! Opportunity Summary Join a venture-backed startup redefining how complex machines are tested, scaled, and operated. Our platform is purpose-built to give engineers real-time observability into high-frequency data streams, eliminating bottlenecks and enabling faster, more reliable development cycles. As one of the first infrastructure engineers, youll do more than write code; youll architect and evolve the foundation of a system designed for mission-critical applications. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in the ambiguity of early-stage startups, takes ownership, and wants to leave a lasting mark on both technology and company culture. Youll tackle complex technical challenges, collaborate with world-class engineers, and help create the tools and frameworks that power cutting-edge development. About Us We are a fast-growing startup founded by engineers with experience at top aerospace, big tech, and enterprise software companies. Our team builds the underlying infrastructure that enables modern machines, whether terrestrial or orbital, to perform reliably at scale. With a culture rooted in technical excellence, iteration, and collaboration, we are dedicated to solving some of the most challenging problems in engineering observability and distributed systems. Job Duties Architect, build, and scale reliable infrastructure solutions to support a growing platform and expanding customer needs. Partner with software engineers to ensure high performance, fault tolerance, and seamless deployments. Design and implement monitoring, alerting, and logging systems for proactive issue detection and resolution. Drive automation of deployment workflows using modern DevOps practices and tooling. Continuously evolve backend infrastructure for cloud and on-premises environments. Lead efforts to improve infrastructure cost efficiency, reliability, and scalability. Influence product roadmap decisions to align infrastructure development with customer impact. Champion best practices for distributed systems design and operations. Qualifications Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. 7+ years of professional experience in distributed systems, cloud environments, or platform engineering. Proficiency with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure). Strong knowledge of containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes). Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and working with version control systems. Familiarity with automated testing, integration, and end-to-end performance testing. Solid understanding of networking, multi-cloud service architecture, and on-premises infrastructure. Comfortable operating in a high-ownership, fast-moving startup environment. Preferred Experience Hands-on experience with modern infrastructure stacks such as Go, Java, React, TypeScript, Kafka/Redpanda, Flink, and Terraform/CDK. Exposure to observability frameworks and monitoring tools (Grafana, Prometheus, Argo CD, etc.). Familiarity with data frameworks (Arrow, DataFusion, Parquet, Rust). Ability to design for multi-region, multi-cloud architectures. Passion for building developer productivity tools and frameworks that accelerate engineering velocity. Why Join Us Be part of an early-stage, high-impact startup where your work directly shapes the product and company culture. Tackle complex, meaningful engineering problems with global applications. Collaborative, high-energy team culture with strong technical backgrounds. Opportunity for rapid growth and career development Flexible work environment Strong PTO and holiday policies Medical, dental, and vision benefits Equity options $160,000 - $210,000 Seniority level
