Job description

Job Description Alteo is looking for a Senior Cloud Engineer for a permanent position based in Montreal.

*** Hybrid work: 3 days per week in the office ***

As a senior engineer, you’ll shape the architecture, reliability, and evolution of the company platform. You’ll manage development/staging/product environments, write production code, fix bugs, and design resilient systems powering natural-language cloud automation. You’ll work directly with the management to engineer AI-driven cloud orchestration systems, bridging cutting-edge research with production-grade infrastructure.
This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives at the intersection of deep technical execution and guiding engineering direction.

Responsibilities:

• Manage and harden development, staging, and production environments.
• Write robust software to ship new product features and maintain high-quality code.
• Debug and fix complex bugs across distributed systems.
• Architect reliable and scalable cloud-native systems, ensuring security and performance.
• Engineer AI-based orchestration pipelines for cloud automation and infrastructure-as-code.
• Collaborate with founders on product direction and technical strategy.

Profile:

• 5+ years experience in software engineering, with strong exposure to infrastructure/platform/SRE.
• Proficiency in cloud engineering across AWS, GCP, and/or Azure.
• Deep expertise in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible).
• Advanced understanding of Kubernetes (controllers, operators, cluster internals).
• Strong coding ability in Go, Rust, or Python with solid systems fundamentals (distributed systems, networking, concurrency).
• Hands-on with policy-as-code (OPA/Rego or similar).
• Experience designing, deploying, and operating production-grade cloud systems.
• A mindset that balances hands-on execution with guiding engineering best practices.
• Experience building or scaling AI/ML-powered systems (asset).
• Contributions to OSS (Terraform, Kubernetes, Pulumi, CNCF projects) (asset).
• Familiarity with service mesh, eBPF, or advanced cloud security practices (asset).
