Job description

Moonvalley is developing cutting-edge generative AI models designed to power Superbowl-worthy commercials and award-winning cinematic experiences. Our inaugural, cutting-edge HD model, Marey, is built on exclusively licensed and owned data for professional use in Hollywood and enterprise applications.

Our team is an unprecedented convergence of talent across industries. Our elite AI scientists from DeepMind, OpenAI, and Meta have decades of collective experience in machine learning and computational creativity. We have also established the first AI-enabled movie studio in Hollywood, filled with accomplished filmmakers and visionary creative talent. We work with the top producers, actors, and filmmakers in Hollywood as well as creative-driven global brands. So far we’ve raised over $70M from world-class investors including General Catalyst, Bessemer, Khosla Ventures & YCombinator – and we’re just getting started.

Role Summary :

We are looking for an experienced Platform Engineer to join our Product Team. While there isn’t a large infrastructure backlog, this role will play a crucial part in maintaining and scaling our infrastructure while also focusing on platform engineering initiatives to improve developer productivity.

You will work closely with software engineers to ensure system reliability, performance, and security. Your responsibilities will include designing and implementing infrastructure solutions, automating workflows, optimizing cloud environments, and building tools and systems that streamline development and deployment processes across engineering teams.

What you’ll do :

Infrastructure Design & Maintenance : Build and maintain scalable, secure, and high-performing infrastructure to support product development and deployment.

Cloud Management : Manage cloud-based (AWS) environments, optimizing performance and cost.

Automation & CI / CD : Develop infrastructure-as-code solutions using Terraform, Pulumi, or similar tools to automate provisioning and deployment.

Collaboration with Product Teams : Work closely with software engineers to optimize infrastructure for performance, scalability, and resilience.

Incident Response & Troubleshooting : Lead root cause analysis and resolution for infrastructure-related incidents.

What we’re looking for :

3+ years of experience in either Platform Engineering (or related fields).

Strong experience with cloud platforms (AWS) and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).

Strong experience in infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform).

Experience with CI / CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions).

Familiarity with monitoring and logging tools (ELK Stack, Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog).

Ability to script and automate tasks using Python, Bash, or similar languages.

In our team, we approach our work with the dedication similar to Olympic athletes. Anticipate occasional late nights and weekends dedicated to our mission. We understand this level of commitment may not suit everyone, and we openly communicate this expectation.

If you're motivated by deeply technical problems, a seemingly never-ending uphill battle, and the opportunity to build (and own) a generational technology company, we can give you what you're looking for.

All business roles at Moonvalley are hybrid positions by default, with some fully remote depending on the job scope. We meet a few times every year, usually in London, UK, or North America (LA, Toronto) as a company.

If you're excited about the opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI technology and help shape the future of media and entertainment, we encourage you to apply. We look forward to hearing from you!
