Job summary

10x Labs is hiring for a senior Cloud Infrastructure Engineer to own and operate our production platforms at national scale within regulated markets. You will design fast-to-ship, boring-to-operate infrastructure with strong observability and security controls.

You will own Kubernetes, CI/CD, and cloud tooling, ensuring cost efficiency and reliability while enabling engineers to deploy daily. This role offers challenging, real-world AI-enabled scale problems and cross-functional collaboration.

Qualifications

• Strong production experience with Kubernetes and at least one major cloud (AWS preferred).
• Observability depth: Prometheus/Grafana, OpenTelemetry or equivalent, and the judgement to alert on what matters.
• Infrastructure as code by default with real GitOps/CI/CD experience.
• Solid scripting in Go, Python or Bash.
• Experience operating high-availability systems: incident response, postmortems, and the scars to prove it.

Responsibilities

• Design, build and operate cloud-native infrastructure across multiple production platforms.
• Own observability end to end: metrics, logs, traces, dashboards and alerting.
• Build CI/CD pipelines that let engineers ship to production daily with confidence.
• Harden security and compliance posture: secrets, access control, audit logging for regulated environments.
• Manage cost, capacity and reliability across environments sized for growth.
• Automate relentlessly: provisioning, tooling, anything the team does twice.
